    Savery Farm Mushroom Pond - Remnant of Savery Farm

    Savery Farm Mushroom Pond

    It's always nice to find a hidden/unknown place that nobody has ever given it a review. I was…read morerunning a few errands in Westminster today (Sunday, May 22, 2022) and accidentally drove by it on the way to get home. I HAD to make a stop and investigate it as the Savery Savory Mushroom Water Tower, the only intact remnant of the original collection of structures didn't escape my eye/attention (how could it escape it?; it's a very tall water tower!) This was the site by a guy named Charles William Savery from Pennsylvania, who bought a 80-acre farm in what is now Westminster in 1918. Long story short, the mushroom farm which Charles built is no longer there but having one of the remnant structures, the city of Westminster built a pond in 1995. The pond, which was originally built to hold storm water, is now a habitat for many species of insects, plants, birds, fish, I mean you name it, right? The pond itself is not massive but is a good size. Once at the trailhead, you can have an extensive walk/running/bike ride as the trails are extensive (to all sorts of directions). Several parks (Foxshire Park, Valley View Park, Meadowlark Park) and Legacy Ridge Golf Course are what surround this pond. Niver Canal that runs through the area is so picturesque and you can walk/jog/run/bike along the canal if you choose. The homeowners have access to the trail(s) right from their backyard gates. Some neighbors were having an afternoon cocktail in their backyard; some were chitchatting over their property fence. It is such a beautiful area with lots of green. And the city of Westminster and the residents do well by maintaining this whole area impeccably clean and immaculate. It sure was a nice discovery!

    Such a cute park to explore, there's the main pond & through the trees there's a baby pond just…read moreright next to it. I came during winter time time but I feel like during spring/summer time this park gets very green! Also there's lots of ducks

    This service is amazing ! RMB confirmed the easy online booking, called to make arrangements,…read moreexchanged text messages to recommend a trail, met me at trailhead, brought and adjusted the perfect bike that just happened to be a new yeti, provided water and a snack and provided trail riding tips. This is really the only way to go if you travel to Colorado to mountain bike. I couldn't recommend them more highly.

    We had a fantastic time working with Jessica and Chris. Leading up to our rental day, communication…read morewas great and Jessica was incredibly helpful matching our abilities and biking background with Denver local trails. The day of the ride, Jessica and Chris were waiting for us in the Staunton State Park Visitor's Center, and we spent 30ish minutes making sure our two bikes were properly fitted to each of us. Their process was very thorough- taking our weight into account to adjust the front and rear suspension, watching us pedal around the parking lot, and even installing SPD pedals for me. They also equipped us with a spare tube for my tire, mini bike pump, a bottle of water, and a snack. Before we left, we shared our trail plan for the day, and Jessica's incredible depth of knowledge gave us the insider tips and let us know what to expect and special spots we should stop at that we hadn't known about. Chris stayed with us for a little bit at the beginning of the trail, offering us tips to adjust our breathing for the elevation (we're coming from Michigan) and what to expect on the trail. At the end of the day, we'd considered the whole experience to be wholly worthwhile. The only drawback is that since we had less time than we'd have liked to adapt to Denver elevation, this seemed like the first time we'd seriously considered ebikes. I hope it's something they're able to offer in the future. Otherwise, please check out this business if you're looking for an MTB rental company. We look forward to seeing them again the next time we're in Denver.

    I've had great luck with Rhythm Cycles. About me, so you…read moreknow who's leaving the review: Lifelong cyclist, no car for many years, worked in bike shops (once upon a time), park ranger who patrolled on mountain bikes for 14 years in Sedona area. Once anti-eBike, that has changed for me now. Yes, I am older, as with many mountain bikers, and I've ridden & raced 'em for half a century. My health is restored! The eBike is keeping me on the mountain! This shop's a great place to go for your 1st eMountain Bike! Mike Kreger helped me, and he's quite knowledgeable. The bike I ended up with has a 720Wh battery and a Yamaha PW-X3 motor - enough capability to ride from downtown Denver (and back), to Green Mountain for ACTUAL mountain biking with a coupla downhills thrown in for good measure! No car needed! Every time I've come in, the staff has been great. Enric Die-Girbau has also been notably helpful finding oddball parts. Thanks guys! I've only had a couple of very minor items to take care of regarding the bike, and these guys were extremely quick to spot and correct the issue. OH, and if you like drooling over shiny, high-end bike parts, you're gonna LOVE the Anodized Heaven they have on display

    I stopped in because I saw a sign out front that said "New and Used Bicycles", and I'd never been…read morein before, so thought I'd see what they had. An employee (maybe the owner, not sure) greeted me and asked me if he could help me. I told him I was in the market for a used bicycle, preferably a single-speed or fixie, with a 58 cm frame (my preferred size). And here was where it kind of got weird. He told me he didn't have time to update his sign, and that he didn't have ANY used bicycles. Then he proceeded to tell me ALL about a bunch of NEW bicycles he had available, NONE of which were single-speeds, and NONE of which were even close to my size (all were much smaller). After 10 or 15 minutes of this, I interrupted him and said "Thanks, I'll keep you in mind", and left. I don't much appreciate someone trying to steer me towards something that I don't want. I would have appreciated just a simple "Sorry, we don't have what you're looking for, but here's the name of another store that might". THAT would have actually been helpful. Bottom line, it seems like a great store if you want to burn up some time, or if you really don't much care what kind of bike you actually end up with.

    Fantastic day trip from Denver for curious kids…read more My sister-in-law took the kids and me to Dinosaur Ridge for a picnic lunch, visit and ramble. It was a great way to spend a few hours outdoors and away from screens. There are ample picnic tables outside the visitor's center. Parking can be a little more limited, but you can park on the road outside and walk in. We did go into the visitor's center ($5/pp). There was a very nice volunteer there who talked to my son with enthusiasm and patience. The center is pretty small, but there were enough things for my son to examine and think about. He's 9 and well beyond his dinosaur obsessive days, but he was still curious about thing things he saw. The younger kids enjoyed digging for fossils in the sandbox outside. We also hiked along the walk way that spans between the visitor's center and the Red Rocks area. The walk is pretty level, and there are labeled areas that show dinosaur tracks and fossils. The views are also stunning of the whole Denver area basin. I'd happily return.

    My boyfriend and I came here after watching the sun rise at Red Rock Amphitheater! The hike here is…read moreA LOT of up but doable. You can also do the bus tour (it looked popular!) there is a gift shop and exhibit area. There are also several picnic tables here if you want to do lunch before the ridge. There is a parking lot or street parking. It was fun to see the Dino prints and Dino bones! You also get a nice view of the valleys and mountains around you at the top! Worth the stop, especially with kiddos! They would find this cool!
