In the summer you can hike, trail run, mountain/gravel/road bike, play disc golf or mini golf, fish, take a dip in cool swimming holes or star gaze.

In the winter you can snowshoe, cross country ski, earn some turns by skinning up/skiing down, ride your snow bike, go sledding, or just sip hot cocoa by one of our two wood burning fireplaces.

The fall is magical as the aspen groves share their golden glow. Take a drive up Cuchara pass and visit the beautiful Apishapa Arch and enjoy the view, or drive up to Bear or Blue Lakes for an afternoon lunch by the river surrounded in fall color.
