Scott Carpenter Skatepark | Best Skatepark in Boulder
Scott Carpenter Skatepark in Boulder, Colorado is a large 21,000 sq. ft. cement skatepark paradise covered in art and graffiti. Most of this skatepark was built in 1999 by Site Design Group with an expansion by Evergreen Skateparks in 2021. This skatepark has a ton of vert transitions and some large bowls with a little bit of something for every style of skater. The large banked turns and smooth transitions make this a fun place for longboarding in a skatepark, making this (in my opinion) the best skatepark in Boulder.

Chiricahua National Monument | Quick Guide to the Wonderland of Rocks
Chiricahua National Monument is a beautiful and unique off the beaten path pocket of wilderness in the southeast corner of Arizona. The area is known as a sky island - an isolated mountain range that rises above the vast surrounding sea of desert. As the elevation increases, the cacti and mesquite give way to sycamore, juniper and oak trees and eventually cypress, pines and fir. But what really stands out about Chiricahua National Monument are the amazing rock pinnacles found towering throughout the park.
