Views are unparalleled!…read more If you're passing by the area, be sure to visit here. There is a 7 dollar fee. Most people do not pay it.

If you're on the road and want a shady spot with tables to eat your Pb&J, stop here. This is probably the only place you're going to get to have a full, Panaramic view of the Collegiate Peaks. Yep, Yale, Princeton, Columbia. Seriously, guys. You're in such an amazing place and you just had to name them after Ivy League schools, didn't ya? But enough of the rant. I got the best shots of the mountains from here.

We found this place while driving back to Denver from a short weekend get away in Salida, CO. Wow!…read moreWhat a gem! We saw the sign on the road and decided to check it out.

Port A Jon's near the head of the trail and they do have communal life jackets you can borrow off honor policy as well as a changing station. Many benches along the way and information stands.

Not sure how the water park of this works as we visited in february so not the season for that, but loved this area a lot! Will dfinitely be back to do some more exploring!

I suggest bringing an old Starbucks cup to urinate into because the bathrooms are absolutely atrocious. I was gagging just stepping in the door.

I was only in town for 24 hours, I didn't have hiking boots or tevas. Plus it was overcast and windy. So this park gave us the opportunity to get outside, walk around.

There are lots of climbing options, from the fish sculptures to the log maze to the tall climber with a slide. If you've got a bicycle, there's a little offroad bike park with bumps and jumps.

While we were there, a small storm passed with some showers and tiny hail; we took shelter under the nearby bridge and washed the river burble by for a few minutes. Would gladly stop here again!
