    Colorado Continental Divide Landmark and Hike

    It's certainly beautiful up here! Though if you're looking for an interesting roadside…read moreattraction/pit stop, this will last you all about two minutes before you head back to the car. Take your pictures of the sign, tell your friends you saw the "continental divide," and that's about all there is to do up here. Be sure to get some great looking photos of yourself though!

    Impress your date or your out-of-town guests by taking them to the Colorado Continental Divide…read morelandmark. You may have heard it one too many times, or not at all, but the Colorado Continental Divide means that on the east of the Continental Divide all the rivers flow toward the Atlantic Ocean, and on the west of the divide the rivers flows toward the Pacific Ocean. In Colorado, residents are not as familiar with this thing called water, so this fact to us is not only interesting, but a moment to make us feel smart... And offer you one of those facts that you are sure to hear on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" The divide is a fun visit any time of the year, but it is at almost 12,000 feet, so if your guest or date is already feeling ill, dizzy, sleepy or grumpy, and it is not from you, then it might not be good to surprise them up past here which is above tree-line. When you get up to the monument, you can take a walk along a trail that looks like it goes on-and-on forever, but this is high mountain hiking, so don't expect there to be many tree stumps to take a seat on... And in the summer, or any season for that matter, storms can roll in faster then you can roll your Spanish rrrr's , so only hike if you are prepared. Note: The hike is not a loop.... If I am correct, it is about 3 miles long... But if you are new to hiking, keep an eye on where you started and head back after a little while to avoid rolling down the mountain and having to explain to people that you thought you were on a survivor game show. (Note: If you are on a date, do not tell you her that you are on a survivor game show and you have to pretend like this is your last day on earth... That might seem like a good pick up line , but trust me, when you are dehydrated and sun scorched, you wont be getting any high mountain booty any time soon, so take my advice and bring extra water and energy food.) * Star one for water that flows ** Way up there star two is for the high altitude and treeless mountain tops *** Look at me now star three is for perfect picture opportunity ****Isn't this elevation romantic star four is for a creative date idea or not so romantic out-of-town guest site ***** Don't forget to breath star five is for a long hike that is a great stretch during long car rides

    I was traveling with my husband and daughter and we wanted to stop for a hike/walk…read more The path follows the St. Vrain Creek to the ponds. We said hello to horses along the way. It was interesting to see the flood lines on the trees along the river. This is a free hike. We parked at the Rogers Grove Park lot and picked up the trail from there. It crosses under Hover St/N 95th St. It is an easy walk with very little elevation gain. We walked to the St. Vrain River Waterfall and watched the ducks for a bit. This was a lovely stop while making our way up to Fort Collins.

    Golden Ponds is great for what it is. Is it secluded with no sight or sound of roads, houses,…read morepeople? No. Does it feel like a bit of untapped nature within a short drive of your neighborhood making it easy to frequent? Absolutely! Many people walk, jog, and take their dogs here. I often see fishing as well. There are not too many bicycles. It is also great for any birders interested in water fowl, such as pelicans, cormorants, blue heron, and ducks. We have enjoyed taking our dogs to Golden Ponds over the years. With the area having a few ponds, you can switch up your walk. Some areas around the ponds are full sun and others offer a shaded reprieve. I have not had any issues finding parking, which is free. The park also has benches around ponds, canopied picnic tables, and flushing toilets in the restrooms near the entrance.
