A lovely few days ❤️

I’ve visited all 50 states and all 63 national parks, but somehow I’d never really explored Loveland, Colorado — less than an hour from Denver.

I visited expecting to check out Sculpture in the Park – the largest outdoor juried sculpture show and sale in the United States – and ended up finding so much more.

Sculptures everywhere. Internationally renowned artists’ studios. Chapungu Sculpture Park. A lively downtown full of shops, coffee and restaurants. Beautiful hiking and lakes nearby. Wine and dinner by the river. And even a secret bar (with incredible cocktails) hidden inside a barbershop.

It was one of those weekends that reminded me how easy it is to overlook what’s close by when I’m always looking for what’s farther away.

Maybe I don’t always need to go farther.
Maybe I just need to look closer.

Have you visited Loveland?

A few places I recommend:
📍 Explore: Chapungu Sculpture Park, Benson Sculpture Garden, downtown Loveland, Art Castings of Colorado, Carter Lake, Devil’s Backbone Open Space
🍷 Eat + drink: Sweet Heart Winery & Event Center, The Muse Loveland (owned by the renowned sculptor
Jane Dedecker), Dark Heart Coffee, The Love Shack - Craft Mocktails, Feellove Coffee Loveland,
Rosie’s barbershop & Bar, The Loveland Chop House
🏨 Stay: I stayed at Townplace Suites, which was right downtown and walkable to everything
