    It's always nice to find a hidden/unknown place that nobody has ever given it a review. I was…read morerunning a few errands in Westminster today (Sunday, May 22, 2022) and accidentally drove by it on the way to get home. I HAD to make a stop and investigate it as the Savery Savory Mushroom Water Tower, the only intact remnant of the original collection of structures didn't escape my eye/attention (how could it escape it?; it's a very tall water tower!) This was the site by a guy named Charles William Savery from Pennsylvania, who bought a 80-acre farm in what is now Westminster in 1918. Long story short, the mushroom farm which Charles built is no longer there but having one of the remnant structures, the city of Westminster built a pond in 1995. The pond, which was originally built to hold storm water, is now a habitat for many species of insects, plants, birds, fish, I mean you name it, right? The pond itself is not massive but is a good size. Once at the trailhead, you can have an extensive walk/running/bike ride as the trails are extensive (to all sorts of directions). Several parks (Foxshire Park, Valley View Park, Meadowlark Park) and Legacy Ridge Golf Course are what surround this pond. Niver Canal that runs through the area is so picturesque and you can walk/jog/run/bike along the canal if you choose. The homeowners have access to the trail(s) right from their backyard gates. Some neighbors were having an afternoon cocktail in their backyard; some were chitchatting over their property fence. It is such a beautiful area with lots of green. And the city of Westminster and the residents do well by maintaining this whole area impeccably clean and immaculate. It sure was a nice discovery!

    Such a cute park to explore, there's the main pond & through the trees there's a baby pond just…read moreright next to it. I came during winter time time but I feel like during spring/summer time this park gets very green! Also there's lots of ducks

    When my friend from high school came out for a visit, my wife suggested we try out Denver…read moreAdventures ZipLine tour and my friend was willing to try it out. We did the six-line tour and had a great time. The staff of four was especially attentive to safety and helped us all get through everything from the slow short trainer line through the fast long line that starts from a platform atop a short stairway and runs over a quarter mile across the valley to another platform on a hillside. It was quite exhilerating! I've got another review out there for a ZipLine place that I tried out on Hawaii's big island. Having done experienced that course (including a half-mile zip over a beautiful waterfall) in Honolulu, the Denver course didn't seem quite as scary. That is both because I knew what to expect and also because the harnesses and pulley equipment seem to have improved drastically in the four years since I did my earlier Zip trip. I would also note that the scenery around the Denver Adventures course was actually prettier to look at, even while screaming across a few dozen yards of steel cable. There were a couple kids in our group who were around 10 years old and they had apparently done Zip trips in Costa Rica, Texas, and a few other places. They still seemed thrilled by the Denver course and had a great time. A bit of warning: I had no trouble with the preliminary and between-Zip hiking in Hawaii and that's because the altitude was 200ft above sea level. In contrast, the Denver hiking had me a bit winded and I learned (just before the final Zip) that the altitude was 8,600 feet. The kids and teenagers didn't seem to notice, but we adults clearly felt the altitude -- and the water stations along the route were quite welcome! To their credit, though, the staff appeared to be accustomed to working with all kinds of tourists and didn't make a deal of it at all.

    Our guides were great! This experience was very well organized & professionally done…read more We had a party of 12 ... from 4 years old to 60. Everyone loved it! Would ABSOLUTELY recommend!

    This shop has a great collection of gear, parts, and bikes. The staff is incredibly kind, patient,…read moreknowledgeable and helpful. If you're looking for your next bike, colorful anodized parts, or to grab a new dh tire, this is the shop to visit. My husband agonized over which bike and color to choose and he was given two test bikes to compare and the gentleman helping him even took his personal bike outside into the sun so that my husband could see the metallic paint sparkle in real life. Everyone who works there is super friendly and everyone who helped him purchase his shiny, new custom dream bike build went above and beyond.

    I've had great luck with Rhythm Cycles. About me, so you…read moreknow who's leaving the review: Lifelong cyclist, no car for many years, worked in bike shops (once upon a time), park ranger who patrolled on mountain bikes for 14 years in Sedona area. Once anti-eBike, that has changed for me now. Yes, I am older, as with many mountain bikers, and I've ridden & raced 'em for half a century. My health is restored! The eBike is keeping me on the mountain! This shop's a great place to go for your 1st eMountain Bike! Mike Kreger helped me, and he's quite knowledgeable. The bike I ended up with has a 720Wh battery and a Yamaha PW-X3 motor - enough capability to ride from downtown Denver (and back), to Green Mountain for ACTUAL mountain biking with a coupla downhills thrown in for good measure! No car needed! Every time I've come in, the staff has been great. Enric Die-Girbau has also been notably helpful finding oddball parts. Thanks guys! I've only had a couple of very minor items to take care of regarding the bike, and these guys were extremely quick to spot and correct the issue. OH, and if you like drooling over shiny, high-end bike parts, you're gonna LOVE the Anodized Heaven they have on display

    My boyfriend and I came here after watching the sun rise at Red Rock Amphitheater! The hike here is…read moreA LOT of up but doable. You can also do the bus tour (it looked popular!) there is a gift shop and exhibit area. There are also several picnic tables here if you want to do lunch before the ridge. There is a parking lot or street parking. It was fun to see the Dino prints and Dino bones! You also get a nice view of the valleys and mountains around you at the top! Worth the stop, especially with kiddos! They would find this cool!

    Fantastic day trip from Denver for curious kids…read more My sister-in-law took the kids and me to Dinosaur Ridge for a picnic lunch, visit and ramble. It was a great way to spend a few hours outdoors and away from screens. There are ample picnic tables outside the visitor's center. Parking can be a little more limited, but you can park on the road outside and walk in. We did go into the visitor's center ($5/pp). There was a very nice volunteer there who talked to my son with enthusiasm and patience. The center is pretty small, but there were enough things for my son to examine and think about. He's 9 and well beyond his dinosaur obsessive days, but he was still curious about thing things he saw. The younger kids enjoyed digging for fossils in the sandbox outside. We also hiked along the walk way that spans between the visitor's center and the Red Rocks area. The walk is pretty level, and there are labeled areas that show dinosaur tracks and fossils. The views are also stunning of the whole Denver area basin. I'd happily return.
