    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 experience was a lot of fun. There are five ziplines, but you do one of them twice, so in all…read moreyou get six zips. The guides were fantastic. They were helpful, funny, and told great stories. They made everyone feel secure. At one point, you have to do a little bit of serious hiking to get to one of the lines. The elevation affects people differently and decent hiking shoes isn't a bad idea. You are basically ziplining in a gorgeous forest. The views are incredible. We saw deer and we heard that sometimes you can see moose (meese? mooses?). There is one negative: I have done ziplines in many places and this outfit was the only one which "requires" you to bring water. Most people end up buying this bag of cold water and a carabiner for 4 bucks when you check in. You can bring your own water bottle but who wants to zip with a giant water bottle strapped to you? They even had a jug of water available at one or more of the stops. Call it like it is: this is just a way for them to get another 4 bucks from each customer. Also, the website suggests you should not bring your phone. In fact, you can bring your phone but it is obviously your responsibility if you lose or damage it. (One person who ziplined with us actually did drop his phone, accidentally, while ziplining, but one of the awesome guides found it. Two miracles occurred that day: one, the guide found the phone in a forest and, two, the phone was barely scratched.) I wish I had brought my phone because the views were awesome. If you like, you can have some craft beer afterward in the little brewery connected to the zipline spot. We had other plans but the sharp-looking brewery looked very inviting. Highly recommended. This was a lot of fun and I would definitely do it again.

    All in all a good zipline experience. Some good routes with high speed and great scenery. I…read morereally liked the long hop which was the 5th one I think. The group size seemed a little too big though. We had some pretty long waits at some of the platforms. At the later stages of the tour, the group merged with another and it seemed like there were at least 20 people waiting in line. BTW, I didn't like the heavy handed pitch to buy expensive water bottles and the time of registration either. Code: 4EB53B

    This shop has a great collection of gear, parts, and bikes. The staff is incredibly kind, patient,…read moreknowledgeable and helpful. If you're looking for your next bike, colorful anodized parts, or to grab a new dh tire, this is the shop to visit. My husband agonized over which bike and color to choose and he was given two test bikes to compare and the gentleman helping him even took his personal bike outside into the sun so that my husband could see the metallic paint sparkle in real life. Everyone who works there is super friendly and everyone who helped him purchase his shiny, new custom dream bike build went above and beyond.

    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

    Dinosaur Ridge is home to some of the most famous and well preserved dinosaur tracks in the world…read moremaking it a must-visit if you're a dinosaur or natural history/science lover in the Denver area! Technically entry to the attraction is free. Visitors are welcome to hike the trail that takes you past the preserved prints and fossils and interpretive signs in the area but on both visits I've been I've opted to do the bus tour (and I'm always glad about it during the drive up the large hill). I find that doing the driven tour gives additional context that I would never have if I just walked the trail myself (which is usually the case) or they point out things I would never have noticed on my own...like the raptor claw on the cliffside. Doing the guided bus tour also gives you entry into the small single-room museum that's next door to the gift shop. Plan to spend between 1-1.5 hours here (if going the tour route).

    Next time I may pay for the tour bus instead but just couldn't stomach $30 a head. We hiked up to…read morethe main Croc River sighting area and definitely saw a lot. Thinking all the events happened millions of years ago and during the Cretaceous Era when much of what we saw was under water. Since clouds, thunder and lightning were approaching, the staff warned us about the potential of being called back. Thankfully once we hit the trail the weather was good other than being cloudy. Saw a lot, learned a lot and experienced the wonderful world of hiking uphill. haha. Definitely worth it and will be back soon to check out the entire ridge!
