This is a great little taste of Japan just off the bustling traffic of Colorado Boulevard -- it's…read moreone of the Denver Sister Cities International's designated parks that symbolize the close relationships we have with our Sister Cities. We've been Takayama's Sister City for over 60 years, and we have deep close friendships with the people of Takayama. It's a city nestled in the "Japanese Alps" that famous for craftsmanship, artistry, and the Hida region's wagyu beef. The Denver Takayama Sister City Committee (www.denvertakayama.org) hosts events throughout the year, and sponsors both adult and student trips to Japan, and welcome trips from Takayama. Each spring and fall, we meet at this very cool little park to trim the bonsai trees, pull weeds and clean up the site.

For years living in Denver I had no idea why there was a City of Takayama Park... (Or a City of…read moreBrest Park, or a City of Cuernavaca Park, etc.) As it turns out, Denver participates in the Sister Cities International Program and has ten sister cities, including Takayama in Japan. Takayama became Denver's sister city back in 1960. It is said that the two cities share similar traits, including mountainous geography nearby. The relationship has lead to many cultural exchanges over the years. As a park, City of Takayama isn't the most fascinating in you'll ever find. It is mainly open space between the wooded north edge of Cherry Creek and Cherry Creek North Drive. It's main feature is that the Cherry Creek Trail runs through it, which is a great trail that runs all the way out to the reservoir - I personally miss biking this on a regular basis when I lived in Denver. Other than that, there are a few markers that note the relationship between the two cities. Perhaps this is not a destination park, really one that you just pass through or drive by. But, kind of cool to know that there is something more behind it. You can also find out more about the Denver Sister Cities Program at: http://denversistercities.org/

Joined the Rocky Mountains National Park full day tour, and had an incredible experience! Christine…read morewas our tour guide, and was very knowledgeable about the park and its wildlife. There were dozens of excellent photo opportunities, and we visited many of the parks most famous landmarks. We had the pleasure of seeing dozens of elk, mule deer, marmots, and even a pika! Sandwiches were provided for lunch, as well as plenty of water and snacks throughout the day. If you have a small group looking for a convenient way to see much of RMNP, I highly recommend Colorado Sightseer.

The day started at union station and for awhile did not know if the guide was going to show up…read more When time came, two guides popped out, split people into two group and led us to the van. PRO TIP: try avoiding the most back row if you have long legs or any stress with mobility. Because once you sit there, the seat is assigned and you will have to deal with being cramped in a tighter space. And you basically are always the last one to get off. This was one of the biggest cons. Moving on, the tour itself was great. We stopped by a cafe on the way to and back, for food and bathroom breaks, and pretty soon, the van took us to the Rocky Mountain with beautiful views and even saw many wildlife - the big horn sheep, elk, deer (i think), and, not to forget, smaller animals like birds, mouse, and chipmunks, but no moose spotted. Nonetheless, the breathtaking view of the Rockies is certainly worth the journey. The guide was very knowledgeable about trees and shared many stories about the places and tips for visiting Denver in general! She also took us to a few Native American owed stores that featured indigenous art that were very cool to see. One thing to note is that I think the Colorado Sightseer, the tour company, had listed at least two slightly different itineraries, and I might have been sent to the one I did not pick. I noticed because I intentionally picked the tour with visits to two visitor centers, vs the one I went on only took us to Beaver Meadows. Not a big deal bc I did get still get my stamp, and the tour used most of the day's time efficiently by visiting many attractions. But this might be something you want to make sure if the stops matter a lot to you. Nonetheless, with a group tour, it is understandable and expected for the itinerary to potentially change. For instance, the day I went, the tour guide actually too us to visit places in different order to avoid crowds. Another thing to really appreciate is that the tour provided some snacks, extra gloves/beanies, which were really a lifesaver in the cold mountains. I know I was not fully prepared for it and so glad I could borrower some!
