Check out Colorado State University's annual trial gardens! This is such a lovely walk filled with beautiful flowers.
Looking for a fun mountain concert adventure? Look no further! Stop by the Mishawaka after a long hike for some lunch by the Poudre river, or stop by to see a concert! Just a warning - there is NO service in the Canyon, so get ready to be unplugged. Julia used to work here and LOVED it! They even have their own Odell beer, which Julia gladly chose as her 'shifty' when working here.
This is Julia's favorite big-time brewery, and they just opened up their wine project next door! The best of both worlds. Odell's has a lovely patio where the whole family, including fur babies can lounge and play! Often, there is a foodtruck here and live music.

This is Julia's favorite small brewery. They specialize in sours and me-oh-my they are oh-so delicious! Make sure to stop by this small brewery to enjoy some delicious, lip-puckering sour beers!
This is a staple college-pizza joint. Julia and Rees would go here often to enjoy a funky, one-of-a-kind slyce of 'za! Julia's favorite is the macaroni and cheese, and Rees's ranges on the day. It can be anywhere from steak and fries pizza, to a classic pepperoni. Try dipping your pizza crust in their honey!
Check out Colorado State University's beautiful Oval! It is a beautiful landmark surrounded by huge trees, green lawns, and bustling with college students. Julia and Rees would walk the Oval, but more often bike it!

Rees's favorite local brewery, good in house food options too! One year this brewery did an entire line of beers inspired by childhood cereal brands. Count Chocula Porter was Julia's favorite.
This pizza joint has been open since 1999 and when you go, you'll find out why! Julia would often put up her 'be back in 5 minutes' sign at work and go grab a slice. Enjoy the fun interior of the place with cool NYC legends painted on the walls.
