The Highlands, Denver’s largest neighborhood covering 250 acres of the city’s Northwest, has recently undergone amazing changes making it one of the trendiest nightlife and art districts in the city. It has recently been featured in Travel and Leisure Magazine and National Geographic Traveler because it has something for everyone without having to venture too far from home. The REI Flagship store is located in between the South Platte River and the I-25, which features a 40-foot high indoor rock climbing wall as well as a mountain bike test course. Nearby, you can rent a kayak from Confluence Kayaks and try it out on the South Platte River. You can shop at trendy boutiques such as Mona Lucero, have a drink at swanky martini bars like Forest Room 5 and gather on the grassy knoll above the South Platte River for free concerts and movies. Whether it is adventure you crave, trendy club hopping and shopping you seek or a simple brewpub to sit and have a beer with friends, your very own Denver has it all. |

| All About Alaska |
When I think of Alaska I think of a cold barren place with lots of ice and snow, and maybe some igloos. Apparently there is more to Alaska than I thought. Located in the upper northwest region of the North American continent, Alaska is the largest U.S. state by area (larger than the combined area of the next 3 largest states: Texas, California, and Montana) and one of the wealthiest and most racially diverse. Go figure! Alaska is actually quite a beautiful place with 17 of the top 20 highest peaks in the United States. The icy state also boasts natural wonders like the Yukon River, the third longest river in the U.S. and glaciers like Malaspina the largest in the state. According to the official state website there are three big misconceptions about Alaska. Weather is the #1 misconception. Over a third of all vacation/pleasure visitors found the weather better than expected. During the summer, average daytime temperatures throughout the state range from the 60s to the 90s. Road conditions are usually better than expected. Almost the entire length of the Alaska Highway is asphalt-surfaced, and approximately half of the roads in the state’s highway system are paved. The third misconception is price. Contrary to popular belief, prices throughout Alaska are generally quite reasonable. Who knew Alaska could be so pleasant? Next time, I take a vacation I just go to Alaska. It sure sounds a like a great place with plenty of natural wonders to take in.
