| When you first drive through the town of Allenspark, you might think, "What a quaint little town." And, you'd be right. But as you visit with the locals, dine at the cafes, and hike the trails, you soon realize this area offers much more than simply, "quaint."
Opportunities abound for those who love the out-of-doors. Everything from mild day-hikes along beautiful rivers, blue ribbon fishing, cross country skiing, technical climbing and scaling the fourteeners, is available here. The scenic Peak to Peak By-Way is a stretch of highway designated by the State of Colorado because of its unique beauty and character. It stretches from Estes Park (Highway 7) through Nederland (Highway 72), all of which are within a 1/2-hour's drive from Allenspark. Along this scenic by-way is access to Rocky Mountain National Park, Roosevelt National Forest, Arapahoe National Forest and the Indian Peaks Wilderness area. The surrounding mountains are dotted with jewels of towns that have unique historical significance. Some of them have now taken their place in history as ghost towns. You'll find stimulating conversations in the cafes, post office, and churches, or, if you prefer peace and quiet, you'll find it here, too. Our small mountain towns are becoming bedroom communities for many who work in the Boulder-Longmont area. It is a relatively short commute (35 minutes to an hour), and is a welcome respite for the previous city dwellers. We invite you to come and explore our unique little spot on earth. You be the judge. Who knows, maybe you'll find yourself among the fortunate few who begin their day saying, "Wow, another beautiful day in the Rockies!" |
