July 2019
A few short TRs on trips that I've missed. In July 2019, we headed to Colorado for an extended weekend. We repeated some of our classic activities, getting some Bonnie Brae (of course) and visited the Denver Zoo. We also went back to Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs:





Our final activity was the St. Mary's Glacier hike. Parking was not easy, but maybe that was luck of the draw. You also needed cash to pay for it IIRC. The hike was a fairly steep rocky/boulder climb, not stroller friendly.





The view at the top was gorgeous. A pristine lake surrounded by snowcapped mountains, even in July.





The hike back down was obviously much easier, and beautiful as well.





More trips to come...

Succos 2019
Only one activity here - while I didn't join, the family visited Nick's Farm Market which had pumpkins, a train and some other kiddie activities.

Succos 2020
Covid kept us from visiting Denver over Pesach and the summer, but we made it back for Succos. We of course visited the Denver Zoo which never disappoints. We also hiked Lower Maxwell Falls Trail which was a fairly easy hike, with plenty of shade as you're among the trees, but after hiking for a while people came back towards us saying the falls were dry, so we didn't go all the way to the end before turning back. Don't really recommend this one.







We then drove 10 minutes to Evergreen Lake which had a nice walking path for a full circuit around the lake. Calm walk, stroller friendly, but nothing particularly amazing.



A much better lake that we visited was Lake Dillon. There was a rocky beach that we hung out on and were able to splash in the water a little. The backdrop was gorgeous.





Pesach 2021
On this trip, we went went back to the great Denver Aquarium and played mini golf at Aqua Golf which was a really nice outdoor course. It also has a cool driving range where people aim for targets in a lake.

Ok that gets me up to date. Hope these activities help others. Will add to the wiki.
