What a beautiful state park! The campsites were large with pavement & concrete. Not to mention, each site was so spread apart we felt like we had an actual yard! Great bike paths too. We were so impressed every day with the amount of upkeep the workers were doing in sites as soon as people left. We will definitely stay here again! Great job to the staff here!

We had the best time horseback riding! Our guide, Sean (or Shawn) was awesome, so communicative, kind, and super helpful. He taught us so much about the horses and the beautiful area we rode through. When I first got on my horse, Pipsqueak, he took off flying, honestly it was the most fun I’ve ever had! My boyfriend’s horse, Honey, was so sweet and steady, she was a bit scared of the geese which made her startle a run a bit, but my boyfriend had so much fun with her (he said it was like her turbo kicked in). We also rode with Shannon and Paige, who were both incredibly kind, helpful, and worked great as a team. The views were amazing, the ride was so much fun, and they even took pictures for us. The whole experience was magical from start to finish. Highly recommend!

A Delightful Gathering at Great Plains Park Recently, my Christian brothers and sisters and I had the pleasure of hosting a barbecue and fellowship gathering at Great Plains Park, and it was an experience that truly encapsulated the spirit of community and joy. With approximately 80 attendees, spanning generations from the young to the more seasoned, the park proved to be an ideal backdrop for our celebration. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that Great Plains Park is meticulously maintained, with sprawling green spaces that invite both relaxation and activity. The ample picnic areas, equipped with tables and grills, provided the perfect setting for our barbecue. We were delighted to discover that the facilities were well-suited to accommodate our large group, allowing for both communal dining and more intimate conversations. The weather was simply glorious, which added to the overall ambiance of the day. As the sun shone brightly, we enjoyed a variety of delicious dishes, all lovingly prepared by our community members. Laughter and the aroma of grilled favorites filled the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that encouraged everyone to mingle and connect. Throughout the day, it was heartening to witness the intergenerational bonds forming as older members shared their wisdom and stories, while the younger attendees brought their enthusiasm and energy. Games and activities scattered across the park, including frisbee and group sports, kept spirits high and laughter ringing through the air. Great Plains Park is not just a place; it’s a canvas for creating cherished memories. Its expansive layout allows for both relaxation and recreation, making it an excellent choice for large gatherings. The combination of nature and community creates a nurturing environment that fosters genuine connections among attendees. I wholeheartedly encourage other groups to consider Great Plains Park for their next gathering. Whether you’re planning a family reunion, a church picnic, or a simple barbecue with friends, this park offers the perfect blend of facilities, natural beauty, and a welcoming atmosphere. Our experience there was nothing short of delightful, and I look forward to returning for future celebrations, knowing that Great Plains Park will always be a place where community thrives.

I’ve been to other Chick-Fil-A locations and this one has been the BEST by far… they got my order out within 2 minutes of me ordering and the quality of the food is always good. The service was also amazing and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Great job, Chick-Fil-A!

Quaint family-run restaurant. Chill, good food, very reasonable prices. I quickly became a regular!

This unique spot blends history with modern charm. The old structure is filled with a wide variety of shops—everything from clothing and natural products to candy stores, ice cream shops, and multicultural restaurants and bars. Families will appreciate the large play area for kids, making it a fun outing for everyone. As you explore the hallways, you’ll also find plenty of information about Stanley and his contributions, adding a meaningful touch to the experience. Plus, there’s free parking available, so you can relax and enjoy your visit without any hassle.

A definite “MUST VISIT” if you’re in the area… everything from their interesting menu, to the beautiful, open-kitchen venue, to their amazing service was excellent! I dined solo as I was in Denver for work and reading online reviews pointed me to Annette. I opted to sit at the bar and the bartender, as well as various other staff did a great job keeping my needs met and my taste buds happy. If you go on a Tuesday, it’s happy hour all night, so they have nice deals that are available throughout dinner service. They have a nice menu, filled with something for everyone and all items are shareable… Most are actually available in half portions too, which was great for me as a solo diner. I started with their deviled egg which was excellent and basic. Nothing fancy or crazy, just a very nicely seasoned yolk (filling) which tasted great. Next up was a half order of their Butter Lettuce and Tarragon salad. What an interesting and fun compliment for them to add a sunflower seed brittle to this salad! It offered a nice texture as well as a sweet bite that complimented the tarragon very nicely. This was such a perfectly dressed and plated salad that! Dinner course consisted of their orecchiette and since it featured Calabrian chilis, I asked for extra of those be included in the preparation. The half order looked small, but I couldn’t finish it all. Definitely filling and packed with flavor. A slight bitterness from the lemon preserve and a nice heat from the Calabrian chili. Save room for dessert… They have several that looked amazing! My final course was simply a single profiterole and a scoop of their strawberry lime sorbet (separately, of course!). The profiterole featured a bay leaf ice cream inside it and homemade salted caramel on top. I’m not normally appreciative of caramel, but this was so good, I licked the spoon to get it all! The pastry dough was the best profiterole I’ve ever had! The combo of everything in a single bite was dreamy! Switching to the sorbet – Really Really Good! (But it’s sorbet, what more can I say about it?). Highly recommend stopping in here… Make reservations though, they get busy!

Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum totally rocked my expectations! The temperature inside was perfect, and I loved that it wasn't too crowded, so I could really take my time exploring. They have an incredible collection of aircraft, including real planes that served the U.S. military. I even got to check out a recreational helicopter and some amazing 1:1 scale models from war movies! The NASA history section was super interesting, and there was just so much to learn about aviation history. It's a great place to spend a couple of hours in a peaceful, recreational setting. Definitely a must-see for anyone interested in flight and space!

Rocky Mountain Arsenal was pure magic! We spotted a whole herd of buffalo, a couple of majestic eagles soaring overhead, and even a young buck casually hanging out like it was no big deal. It felt like stepping into a nature documentary—except we were in it! The drive-through loop was super easy to navigate, and every turn had a new surprise waiting. Such a peaceful, wild gem right outside the city. If you’re craving a little adventure without having to hike miles, this place is a must. Will definitely be back for more wildlife wonders!

Traveling down from Austin, just had breakfast/brunch at Denver Biscuit Company. Food was amazing, we had Shrimp and Grits and biscuit French toast, pretty awesome. Great service, John served our table and he was super friendly and awesome. I highly recommend this place! ♥️

We love Logan House for their coffee and treats! I get an oat milk latte and it’s fantastic! My kids love their croissants or donuts. It’s right inside Stanley Marketplace, so it’s fun to go on the weekends and either walk around Stanley or go outside and play at LuBird’s Light Playground right outside by Gotham Greens. It’s a great coffee shop! There is lots of seating to have a coffee date or work there, too! Stanley has lots of parking lots as well. Enjoy!

Really enjoyed the sampler meal here. Probably the best Samosa I've ever eaten. I liked the tea leaf salad a lot too, and the pork curry was flavorful and delicious even though the rice was mushy and overcooked. Service was warm and staff was welcoming. The man who helped us was friendly, conversational, and happy to share recommendations from the menu. We would love to try this place again.
