visit to gardens and parks

ImageI have read in a travel magazine about fort Collins . It is a very beautiful city in the north of Denver . It is in Colorado state. Coincidentally I was also planning of going to some amazing place for 2 or 3 days vacations for the weekend. By reading in the magazine about the place I was impressed for the fort Collins . I discussed with my parents about the place. They were also agreed by my plan. Then I packed my bags for the trip and then I went to fort Collins by car. I was traveling from salt lake city so it took me 7 and a half hours for this journey. When I reached there I checked into the hotel which I booked from net by searching hotels in fort Collins. After that I rested for some time and I got fresh for the journey.Image

Firstly I visited CSU Annual Flower Trial Garden . CSU Annual Flower Trial Garden is used to research how flowers develop under various environmental conditions. More than 1,000 varieties of plants are used in the gardens, which also contain a gazebo, some nurseries and other facilities. It was an amazing experience to see several flowers at one place. ImageA very fresh fragrance was all over the garden. After this place I went to Lory State Park . Towards west of Fort Collins , Lory State Park offers a wealth of outdoor activities to visitors. Situated beside the Horsetooth Reservoir, spend time in fishing, boating, water skiing and doing various other activities. A number of trails wind through the park, which are frequented by hikers, horseback riders and mountain bikers in the summer cross-country skiing in the winter. All this was enough for the day and I was tired also so I returned back to my best western fort Collins hotel.

ImageNext day was very fresh as I had the deep sleep in the night. Then I went out for Fort Collins City Park . Image Fort Collins City Park spans 85-acres and offers a variety of recreational facilities including a playground, basketball courts, baseball fields, soccer and football fields, tennis courts and picnic shelters. You can paddle boat or swim in the summer and you can do ice skate in the winter. After this I went to CSU Arboretum/Woody Plant Research Area. At the CSU Arboretum/Woody Plant Research Area, students determine which plants grow best in the Rocky Mountains and other forested areas. More than 1,100 different types of growth are found in the area, many marked with display signs telling what they are. After visiting these two places I returned back to my hotel from where I had to check out for my home. I returned back to my home with all the memories in my mind.
