Highlands Ranch
We had a great time here, watching the US/Belgium world cup match, with a great and very enthusiastic (college soccer player) owner, and crowd. The food is tex/mex style, quite good and the portions are generous

East Aspen

If you're spending some time in East Aspen, Roaring Fork River and Aspen Mountain are top sights worth seeing.

East Aspen
Great Mexican food. A step above the other burrito joints. Try the smothered Burrito.

Denver West

Mountain views, shopping, and restaurants highlight some of the noteworthy features of Denver West. Make a stop by Colorado Mills Mall or Jumpstreet Indoor Trampoline Park while you're exploring the neighborhood.

Denver West
From a hiking trip last fall! <3 Colorado. While this is not the most difficult hike, the views are absolutely spectacular especially when the Aspens are changing color. Early morning is the best time to go to get beautiful lake reflections. #Aspen

West End

If you're spending some time in West End, Castle Creek Road and Wheeler Stallard House Museum are top sights worth seeing.

West End
#adaptivereuse in #Salida #colorado #historicpreservation #architecture According to the website about the facility:"The oldest part of the current building dates to 1887 and Salida’s first public lights were illuminated on December 7, 1887... The power plant was extended between 1909 & 1914 & again between 1929 & 1945... it was acquired by Public Service Company of Colorado in 1924. The Salida steam plant was operated only intermittently starting around 1931, reactivated in 1948, placed on standby in 1958, and retired in 1963, after which the structure was used for storage... until 1989 when the plant was converted into a theater." - salidasteamplant.com

Downtown Salida

You'll enjoy the bars and riverfront in Downtown Salida. You might want to make time for a stop at SteamPlant Theater and Event Center or Arkansas River.
