🚴♀️ Paddle, Pedal, Climb: Summer Adventures in Longmont
 | To McIntosh and beyond! Here’s to tubing the St. Vrain, splashing at Sandstone, or sneaking in a nap under a shady tree. Longmont’s green spaces are calling—just add sunscreen, snacks, and maybe a furry friend or two. 🧠 Trivia Answer: C) 4,984 feet That’s right—Longmont sits at 4,984 feet above sea level. High enough to feel that Rocky Mountain air… but just low enough to still call it “a casual hike.” 😅 Catch ya under the cottonwoods, –What’s Happenin’ Longmont Team ☀️ |
