The City of Westminster publishes a small local newspaper every other month for the residents of Westminster.  The paper is called City Edition.  It is free, and citizens can subscribe to either a print version or an online version of the paper here: http://www.ci.westminster.co.us/News/CityEdition.aspx .

In the Dec 2012-Jan 2012 edition, the beauty of the homes, open spaces, Ranch Park, ponds & lakes, and beautiful vistas available in The Ranch and Ranch Reserve subdivisions was highlighted in a full-page “Featured Walk” article.  These subdivisions, as well as the open spaces, etc sit on a total of over 550 acres.  The subdivisions called The Ranch and Ranch Reserve contain homes built as early as the late seventies and as recently as the 2000’s.  As you may already know, these neighborhoods surround The Ranch Country Club, the only private country club in Denver’s  north metro area.  The Featured Walk article includes many opportunities to enjoy the views of the golf course and gives the reader/walker a nice bit of history about The Ranch development as well.

The article takes the reader on a nearly step-by-step, round-trip journey through the streets and  paths around the neighborhood.  The adventure starts and ends at 118th Ave & Zuni St.  The journey is approximately 3.66 miles of hilly terrain.  If you are not up for that level of physical activity, you may want to take the hike in segments.

I have driven or ridden my bike through many parts of the trip described in the article and it does not exaggerate the beauty of the views and some of the spectacular homes in The Ranch and Ranch Reserve.  After reading the article, I am looking forward to exploring the parts of the journey that I have not yet seen.

If you are interested in learning more about The Ranch and Ranch Reserve, or in taking a tour through these neighborhood, you can check out the article, on page 12, at:  http://www.ci.westminster.co.us/Portals/0/Repository/Documents/News/CEDec12Jan13FINAL.pdf.
