Most people think of Colorado as a snow sports destination, but one of our best-kept secrets is how amazing our summertime is. (Shhh!) As a Stepping Stone resident, you’ve probably enjoyed plenty of pool time at the Lantern House. You may have taken a short drive over to Cherry Creek State Park to go fishing or take the kids out boating. And, most likely, you’ve been hiking, biking, or camping in the Rocky Mountains.

We know you’re already packing a lot of fun and interesting activities into your calendar this summer. But if you need suggestions for more, we have you covered:
