"Gateway to the Rockies"

From enjoying the great outdoors at area parks and lakes to taking in the culture of the arts, Loveland, Colorado offers an appealing lifestyle. As the “Gateway to the Rockies,” Loveland is nestled in a valley at the mouth of the beautiful Big Thompson Canyon. Highway 34, the main east/west thoroughfare through the city, becomes Trail Ridge Road (the highest paved through road in the United States) just 30 miles west of town.

The Loveland Museum/Gallery, located in the heart of downtown, is a center for arts events, educational programs and exhibitions of regional, national and internationally recognized artists. The museum also includes permanent and changing history exhibits. Loveland also has choral, theatrical and music community groups.

The High Plains Environmental Center is an interactive environmental education center with approximately 275 acres of lakes, wetlands and trails. It has an indoor facility with displays, activities and a research library — with more information available at www.suburbitat.org.

As Loveland continues to grow, the hometown feel and sense of community continues to be the focus of its residents, leaders and businesses. Warmth and friendliness is extended to visitors and newcomers.
