Recreation and Attractions
There are plenty of places to visit around Denver. No family would ever get bored living in this area. Some of the most interesting attractions include Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Denver Art Museum, Denver Aquarium, Denver Children's Museum, Denver Zoo, Elitch Gardens, and many more. Apart from these, there are also lots of outdoor recreational activities to engage in. Hiking, biking, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, bird watching, and camping are just few of these. Any family would enjoy exploring nature, which is something that other cities wouldn't be able to offer. That's because not all cities in this country are able to achieve a good balance between urban progression and nature preservation.
If you do decide to buy a home in Denver, see to it that you study the home-buying process carefully. For one, you need to determine which particular location in Denver you'd like to live in. Choices include Golden, Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Westminster, Thornton, Northglenn, Broomfield, Brighton, and Commerce City.

Trapline Cabins should be called Safety Cabins
Instead of being called a Line Cabin it should rightfully be called a Safety Cabin. Our main trapping trail is a 90 km circle which heads off the lake here goes way up onto a highland heads south into the headwaters of the Sutlahine then comes back through the valley to the Inklin river and then back up to the lake.
Even though the Inklin is only 7 miles as the eagle flies and a 1000 meter climb in elevation it is wild and rugged terrain requiring a 1400 meter climb up and down to bypass a deep ravine. On the Inklin there is no were to even land a helicopter within 1 km of the trail. The river is deep and fast and no jet boat can land safely anywhere near the area.
We have been given BC Government approval for a Line Cabin down near the Inklin and are now in the second stage of consultation with the Taku River Tlingit First Nations. We have had one meeting so far and were told it would probably require a few safety suggestions.... example storing fuel etc. We are good friends with the Tlingit and have great respect for them. We also are their early warning system for too much snow accumulation of their lodge roof.
This safety cabin will be about 9 x 12' and contain a small wood stove, an axe, lighter, dry wood, a SBX short wave radio and a sleeping bag.
We do not store fuel or food at safety cabins because it draws bears.
We can get a foot of snow in an hour here. Sometimes a normal trip of 45 minutes to cover 10 km can turn into a 6 1/2 hour ordeal.
