[philmont] Sightseeing/transportation recommendations sought

O Keepers of the Collective Wisdom,

On my crew's last trip to Philmont, we were fortunate to have a family host us in Colorado Springs, where we used rental vans to tour the Garden of the Gods, get a private tour of the Cheyenne Mt. Zoo, visit the AF academy, and drive to Pike's Peak and the Will Rogers memorial.? We kept costs low by use of our host's kitchen and BBQ grill.? We turned in the rental cars in Co. Springs and had one of the transport companies pick us up, take us to Philmont, and return us to the airport.

However, on our 2008 trip, we won't have this host family available.? I'm interested in your recommendations on companies that might eliminate the long-distance planning factor for our next trip, either in Co. Springs or elsewhere, preferably?an all-inclusive transport-sightseeing package deal.? We won't have any?scouts or adults repeating the trip, so doing the same things again will only affect me.???

Feel free to reply on or off-line.
