Six and one-half miles of water beckon visitors to come out and play! Surrounded by 1,900 acres of public lands, this reservoir has it all: fishing, boating, camping, picnicking, swimming, scuba diving, rock climbing, and water skiing. Requires entrance and camping permits, and is open year round. It's located west of Fort Collins, Colorado, at an elevation of 5,420 feet. Yes, this is where the man suffocated the mountain lion.
Come stay awhile! Go hiking! See where the Colorado River begins. Fraternize with some of the 60 mammalian species including moose, elk, deer, bighorn sheep, puma, foxes, bears, bobcats, marmots, beavers, porcupines, and badgers. Or, just take a drive along Trail Ridge Road, the highest continuous motorway in all the United States of America.
Pearl Street is a go-to tourist hot spot. It is also where we spent most of our weekends as a new couple. Even after moving to Denver many big moments happened here. If we're being honest.. most were at The Downer (aka The Sundown Saloon). Travis once told Cricket he wanted to get married at The Downer. He still does, but we're over capacity.
Before heading back to Denver after spending the whole weekend at The Downer Cricket loved to stop by Zoe Ma Ma. Usually she'd buy 5 or so meals and eat them the rest of the week, until she was able to replenish. Luckily, she doesn't have to stock pile meals anymore since Travis is almost as good of a cook as Naiomi and Zoe Ma Ma opened in Denver.
