In this on-location episode of Big Blend Radio’s “Travel with Terri” Show, travel writer Terri Guthrie talks with Gaylene Ore, Executive Director of the Grand County Tourism Board, about the breathtaking beauty, outdoor adventures, and welcoming hospitality that make Grand County, Colorado such a special destination.
Recorded onsite at the historic Grand Lake Lodge, Terri shares highlights from her visit and her stay at both Grand Lake Lodge and Arapaho Valley Ranch — two distinctive and scenic accommodations that showcase the area’s mountain charm and serene lakeside atmosphere. The conversation explores fall foliage, wildlife sightings, and local cuisine, plus Terri reflects on the region’s strong sense of community and the joy of exploring Colorado’s mountain towns. Later in the show, her husband Ron Guthrie joins in to share some of his favorite experiences and discoveries from the trip.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
