This picturesque town is a popular spot for skiing and other outdoor activities, and the Loveland Museum and Gallery is a great place to learn about the area&#8217;s history. Founded in 1937 by a local outdoor guide and author, the museum showcases artifacts of the area&#8217;s pioneer history. There are even events and poetry readings for children and adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a challenging hike, consider tackling the Devil&#8217;s Backbone Nature Trail. This 2,200-acre nature preserve has many trails to choose from. During warmer months, visitors may want to pack extra water and sunscreen, but be aware of rattlesnakes. This is a great hiking destination for families and people of all skill levels. However, make sure to stay safe while hiking as rattlesnakes are common in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love history, don&#8217;t miss the Rialto Theater. This historic theater first opened in 1920. The city has also adopted an Art in Public Places Ordinance that mandates one percent of all capital projects to include art. Sculpture in the Park and Benson Sculpture Garden are two art exhibitions worth checking out. This festival showcases local artists, including international artists. And don&#8217;t forget to check out the historic landmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a family outing, try one of the many campgrounds in Loveland. You&#8217;ll find soft-sided\/pop-up units, tent camping, and other options. All campgrounds have restrooms and are open during regular business hours. During your visit, you can make a reservation for a campsite or camp for the night. You&#8217;ll be glad you did! There are also free brochures and scavenger hunts to take advantage of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re looking for a family friendly community or an urban atmosphere, Loveland has a little bit of everything. The city is sandwiched between Denver and Fort Collins, making it perfect for commuters. In fact, Livability.com ranked Loveland as the second most affordable city in Colorado for first-time home buyers in the first quarter of 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another place to see art is the Lincoln Gallery, which features local artists&#8217; work and welcomes specific inquiries about the displays. Another place to explore is the Devil&#8217;s Backbone Open Space. Loveland has legendary trails, so there is plenty to do outdoors. For those who are interested in hiking, mountain biking, or a long bike ride, it is a great place to try a variety of outdoor activities. You can even go snowboarding at one of the local resorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For beer lovers, the local Grimm Brothers Brewhouse is a must-visit. This beer-lovers&#8217; destination draws on ancient German beers. The brewery is a 10 barrel brewhouse that specializes in German beers. Guests can purchase beer from their favorite taps in 22-oz bombers and 12oz cans. Another place to try local craft beer is the Loveland Distillery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a fun family trip to the Rocky Mountains, consider visiting Loveland Colorado.
