Winter in Northern Colorado is undeniably beautiful, with snow-capped peaks and crisp, clear days. However, the colder temperatures often tempt us to hibernate indoors rather than staying active. At The Overlook Apartments, we encourage residents to keep moving, whether through invigorating outdoor recreation or convenient indoor options. Embracing the season is the key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle year-round!
How to Stay Active During Winter Months in Northern Colorado
Explore Nearby Snowshoeing and Hiking Trails
Living near I-25 means we have easy access to some of the best winter hiking and snowshoeing trails in the state. A short drive to Rocky Mountain National Park or the foothills opens up a winter wonderland perfect for cardiovascular health. These snowy excursions provide fresh air and stunning views that make the physical effort feel effortless and rewarding.
Enjoy Winter Walks at Local Lakes
You do not always need to drive into the mountains to enjoy nature. Nearby Boyd Lake State Park offers flat, accessible trails that are often clear enough for brisk winter walking or jogging. The peaceful atmosphere of the frozen lake provides a serene backdrop for daily exercise, allowing residents to get their steps in without navigating steep mountain terrain.
Take Advantage of Indoor Recreation
When the weather is too harsh for outdoor activities, Johnstown offers fantastic indoor local attractions. A visit to Scheels is more than just shopping; walking the expansive store and riding the Ferris wheel is a fun way to stay mobile. Additionally, local indoor climbing gyms and recreational centers in Loveland provide excellent environments to burn calories and build strength comfortably.
