Play disc golf
DISC, OR FRISBEE GOLF, is a fun outdoor game for all abilities that is both physical and mental. Courses similar to golf courses meander through parks and natural areas with tee-off locations and baskets for which to aim. You’ll need at least one disc per person, though experienced players suggest 3–6 depending on the drive length and course curves. Some local courses include:

Take a hike
NOCO OFFERS MANY hiking trails in the foothills, at reservoirs, natural areas and open spaces, in addition to nearby national forests. Visit the Colorado Trail Explorer website at https://trails. colorado.gov to search for suggestions based on location, length, difficulty and more, or the Larimer County website at www.larimer.org/naturalresources/ parks. Understand that people can get hurt or lost and Colorado weather can change quickly, so be prepared: • Bring backpacks to carry plenty of water, snacks, sunscreen, bug spray, first aid kit and fire starting supplies. • Dress in layers to accommodate temperature changes and wear longer socks and hiking boots or shoes with thick tread to keep you from slipping on moist grass or uneven terrain. • Tie a whistle onto each child to blow if they get lost and take your phone to use GPS mapping to find your location or call for help, knowing it may not work in remote areas.
