Looking for something unique to do with the fam on Fourth of July? The Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain has just announced a change of plans to their original Fourth of July fireworks display. Instead, they will feature a patriotic-themed laser light experience! The laser-light spectacle will showcase custom-light choreography within the resort's breathtaking canyon setting. The 30-minute show will be presented the evening of July 3.
