Gateway Car Museum

I posted this in the Off Topic section but if you're ever traveling through western Colorado, the little remote town of Gateway located on scenic byway CO-141 hosts one of the finests car museums I've ever seen. The museum contains the collection of John Hendricks, founder of Discovery Communications and is part of his Gateway Canyons Resort. Here's the website and a few photos that I took. https://www.gatewaycanyons.com/gateway-auto-museum/

That is in an interesting location. Middle of nowhere... I am driving from Colo Springs back to CA at the end of May so I will have to see if the timing works.

Thanks for posting

Talk about a hidden gem, it is in the middle of nowhere. Its a huge collection (said to be worth $55M). I could've spent all day in there. Beautiful drive though up along the Delores River from Placerville pictured below.

Its part of a larger resort which seems to fit that area very well. Had it been just the museum, I would also question it, but after reviewing the overall property it seems reasonable
