We hope to be here in Colorado til late October or whenever the cold weather chases us out. Wheat Ridge is a suburb of Denver. It's on the west side, halfway to Golden, CO (where we've stayed in years past). The RV Park itself isn't fancy, but we chose it because of it's location.
It borders an Open Space, and has immediate access to the Clear Creek Trail. We could go from Golden to downtown Denver on this trail. Denver offers 850 miles of bike paths. That is impressive. And considering that a lot of these trails are built with underpasses or bridges to minimize road crossings, it's even better. I'm sure I'll be telling you more about our biking over the next two months.
So far, though, we think we made a good choice. There are several highlights to our location besides the bike trail:
We have a couple of bunnies who call our campsite home...looks pretty comfy, eh?
There is a farmer's market two blocks away - easy to walk to...
Camping World is one mile away, and easily accessible by bike...
Applejacks (the largest liquor/beer store in the state...or the world?) is up the street...with local Colorado brews....
The Wheat Ridge Recreation Center is less than one mile by bike - offering an Olympic size pool - am I finally going to get back in the water?? Hope so...
And Andy has already found Large Marge's Philly Cheesesteaks and Philly Soft Pretzels...across the street from the Rec Center. Already tested and proven to be the real thing. Something tells me on Lap Swimming days, he's going to want a cheesesteak.
The only drawback so far? Apparently besides the bunnies, we also have a skunk. Eeewwww.

I remember the Clear Creek trail. Your location does sound nice. Large Marge makes a Colorado/Philly cheesesteak? Yum.
We've been at the shore a week now, and I still haven't had a Panzones cheesesteak. Too much other good food. Jimmy says Hi!
The ocean has been nice. Big waves from the last 2 storms. Bay is calm. Maybe go for a sunset paddle.
