The Great Outdoors
In celebration of National Trails Day, there are plenty of outdoor activities and especially trail-building service projects going on today around the state. But on the Front Range, the annual Arvada Trails Day event is certainly one of the least back-breaking and most family-friendly, which is perfect for outdoorsy folks not prepared to swing a pick or wield a shovel. Set along a loop between and encompassing Majestic View Nature Center and Two Ponds National Wildlife Refuge (which claims the distinction of being the smallest urban wildlife refuge in the nation), the community-minded festivity is all about enjoying and learning to respect the great outdoors that exist right, so to speak, in our own urban backyard.
