7 days in Gardner Itinerary

Gardner is an unincorporated community and a U.S. Post Office in Huerfano County, Colorado, United States. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Mission: Wolf and Little Medano Creek. Venture out of the city with trips to Hooper (UFO Watchtower & Sand Dunes Swimming Pool & RV), Fort Garland Museum and Cultural Center (in Fort Garland) and Colorado Gators Reptile Park (in Mosca). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at Francisco Fort Museum, admire the majestic nature at Lathrop State Park, look for all kinds of wild species at Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge, and do a tasting at The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey.
