Winter Excursion: Silverthorne Ice Castles

Are you looking for something beautifully artistic and unique to view this winter? Check out the Ice Castles at Silverthorne! It is like being in an outdoor art museum surrounded by larger than life castles, illuminated before your eyes--almost like glass.

Entrance fees apply.

*Note: these castles are for viewing...not climbing. :)

The town of Silverthorne also is home to many various outlet stores. There are also sledding hills and ice skating areas for more fun in the snow.

Excursion Of The Week: Ice Skating and Ice Fishing

Excursion of the week: Ice skating and ice fishing in Evergreen, Colorado.

I was planning on going for a walk around Evergreen Lake the other day...but when I arrived I was surprised to see dozens of people ice skating and playing broom hockey on the lake. There were also about a half dozen people just sitting around ice fishing. So, if you are interested in any of these activities you can check out the Evergreen Lake House for more details.

Evergreen is only about 30 to 40 minutes west of Denver; a cute little town with alot of trails and open space nearby. You can also access Mt. Evans via Evergreen, but the route is closed during the winter months.
