Authenticity - The old west comes alive here. There is no corporation running the show. This is the real thing. Trail rides to spectacular places on horses that want to ride. Led by read and local people. Friendly - A local family that has owned and run Meeker Park Lodge for-ev-er comes out to greet you and welcome you to their little piece of paradise. On-site staff often feature Ms Dever's herself, but you may also meet Chloe, a local high schooler who has been working with horses since she was 13. Barb may lead your ride...and she may sing you one of her cowboy (girl?) originals. Affordable - $35/hr (summer 2017) per person is a very good price for a spry horse, expert guides, and a lifetime experience. Beautiful - If you want Rocky Mountain beauty as it was intended...this is it. We've been on 1hr and 2hr rides to stunning places at Meeker Park Stables; from babbling brooks to rocky topped mountains and beautiful wildflower meadows to scented forests. These are real trail rides....not nose-to-tail dusty marches. You may get some trotting or even cantering in.

    I have a friend who is quite fond of volunteering here so I decided to visit the facility for a…read morevolunteer information session. The volunteer info facilitator was very friendly and passionate about her work, which I thought was great. It was amazing to learn about the different therapy horses (you can read their profiles online) as well as the therapy conducted (the facility works with children and adults with a variety of physical, cognitive and emotional disabilities, providing therapy and recreation opportunities using horses and horsemanship). If you have time in your schedule, enjoy working with children or horses, definitely look into volunteering at this awesome facility. Word to the wise: The volunteer information session may be hands on, so definitely don't wear your Sunday best and be sure to bring closed toe footwear. Update, 07.16.14: I cannot express how much volunteering here has positively impacted me. I have so greatly enjoyed working with the horses and seeing the growth and improvement in all of the children. It is so remarkable how understanding and encouraging the staff and horses are. I highly recommend supporting this facility in any way that you can.

    I began volunteering at Rocky Mountain Riding Therapy back in August this year, and my experiences…read morehave been only positive. The instructors are patient, kind, and passionate about their work. The horses are well cared for--lots of pasture time, cuddle time and play time. The clients I work with in lessons are respected and listened to: the instructors always make sure everyone is happy, safe, and learning lots. I highly recommend signing up to volunteer, you will have lots of fun, lots of hands-on experience, and help horses and people alike! The children and adults who do the therapy sessions are wonderful people, and the horses are elderly and wise: they know their routine and will always look after their riders and their caretakers.

    Things are changing here after 100 years. Chautauqua Auditorium is being renovated and winterized…read more It had been needed before this as another concert venue in Boulder would have been appreciated sooner but once Boulder won Sundance it became a necessity. But when you come in the summer it will still look the same. A removable heated tent will be erected inside and heated by geothermal heat from underneath that will be transferred underground from the dining hall kitchen's surplus stored energy. So modern in such an old structure. So when you visit this spring there is a lot of truck traffic and digging and detours around the building but you can see from the last picture, the green and the view of the Flatirons are undisturbed.

    Overall, it was a refreshing late October hike on the Flatiron Loop trail! Since we were first time…read morevisitors, we asked for a trail recommendation at the ranger station that fit in with our plans, so something in the 2-hr range. They suggested going in a counterclockwise direction which got the elevation gain done sooner and would finish with a more gradual descent. Being a sea-level creature, I did have to catch my breath a few times on the way up. Now, at the uppermost part of the loop after a bunch of stone steps, there were some all-rock areas where hunching down with a hand or two on the rock helped with balance. Afterward we noted signs on the trail allowing horses. They must have goat like abilities for those rocky parts, I thought. If you like seeing people, there were plenty during the early afternoon hours, sometimes making passing on narrow trail sections a little tricky. We got lucky with parking, going around the large grassy area only once. On the way out, we thanked the ranger for the great recommendation, gave up our parking spot to the next lucky person and went on our way, with plenty of time for our next activity.
