I grew up eating pierogies. When I moved to the Denver area, no one knew what I was talking about. I missed eating them. When I discovered this place, I was thrilled! Their pierogies are so delicious!

One of my favorite restaurants. Their menu changes seasonally. They also have weekly specials. They serve dessert in shot glasses, which is perfect. You can enjoy a treat without feeling stuffed.

Workout
I went to this gym from the time they opened until I moved out of the area. The coaches are amazing and will give you an incredible workout. They offer functional fitness workouts for all fitness levels. They are similar to CrossFit but with their own unique style. Your first workout is free. They offer multiple packages and drop in rates to suit your needs.

For Dogs
This is hands down the best dog park in the area! There's 107 acres for your pup(s) to roam around. There is a creek that runs through it. It does require a fee. If you are moving here, I recommend getting the annual State Park pass ($83) and then add this on ($25). If you are just visiting, they require a vehicle pass ($11) and a daily pass ($3).

Relaxation
This place offers massage and reflexology for 30-60 minutes. The massage is a bit unique in that you stay fully clothed. They offer chair and table massages. They only offer walk-ins, no appointments. Their prices are pretty cheap. Most of the staff do not speak English. I have been super happy with the massages and recommend if you are in need of relaxation and don't want to spend a lot of money.

Hiking
Popular hiking location about 35 minutes from the house that we have enjoyed several times. The trails are suitable for kids. It does require a vehicle pass that can be purchased onsite.
Some info copied from the state webpage:
"The trails range from .5 to 4 miles and can be combined for longer journeys." "Pets, on a leash, are welcome on most trails, except the new East Canyon Preservation Area trail." "Remnants of geologic and local history combine when the then Castlewood Dam burst in 1933, sending a 15-foot-high wave of water into Denver. Ruins of the original ill-fated dam and the historic homestead still exist for hikers to see."

After exploring the area, I recommend stopping at the iconic Beau Jo's pizza in Idaho Springs, first served in 1973. There are other locations throughout the state but this is the original restaurant that first served the Colorado style Mountain Pie.
