NEW YORK, June 6, 2000 - GORP.com has launched a program of monthly contests designed to bring the excitement of adventure travel to GORP members. The first contest, which runs through midnight June 30, will send the winner and a companion on an all-expense-paid trip to the Historic Pines Ranch in beautiful Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The Pines Ranch, nestled in the magnificent Sangre de Cristo Mountains, is the ideal place to enjoy seven-days and six-nights of hiking, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, and more. Winners can participate in square dances and rodeos, as well as cast for trout in one of the three well-stocked ponds. Visitors also can experience one of the best whitewater runs in the state.

The winner will receive round-trip airfare for two to Colorado Springs, nightly accommodations at the Ranch, three meals daily, horseback riding and instruction, and a half-day rafting package. To enter, log onto www.gorp.com and click on the contest icon. All entries must be received on or before 11:59 p.m. EST on June 30. The winner will be notified by July 10 and must complete travel by October 28. Details and official contest rules are available on the site.
