A 3 mile RT hike near Dillion lake. This hike gives us a panoramic views of Dillion lake and area. It was a short and satisfying hike. This is a good fall hike too. We saw the aspens changing but the next week would have been perfect. We hiked under the woods watching the aspens…

Fox Run Regional Park
We hiked the Fallen Timber loop of 2 miles. It was not very clear, not very well marked but was a good stroll along the trees. The park was very beautiful. A small creek, a koi pond with turtles and fishes. A larger pond with a gazebo and fountain. View of the pikes peak. There…
State forest state park
We stayed at this remote cabin which once used to be ranger’s cabin – Stub creek cabin. I wanted to be in a forest with no electronics and well this did it. It was too remote actually (for our taste). For miles and miles to and fro this place there was no signal. But I…

Pine Valley Ranch Park

Firefighter Museum, Denver
My 2 year old son loves Fire trucks. So this Museum seemed like a place he would love. Our library has passes for some museum around which is so awesome. I simply love all the things offered by our library. I am very grateful for all the resources available to us. I secured a pass…
Mueller State Park (Second visit)
I am so not sure why we did not explore this park better the first time around. I guess I did not do my research well the first time. This time around with a 1 year old, the way we look at everything has changed. This park is awesome. Really it is. It has small…
