Thinking of coming down for some MTB riding this week. Is there snow on the ground ? Mud season ?

Since 730 AM here. Anyone else?

Looking to see if anyone knows of a responsible local company that does airport pick up/drop offs between Canon and COS. Currently the only option seems to be Lyft or a (much more expensive) taxi out of the Springs and I would prefer to give my money directly to a small business or person rather than a predatory corporation.

My family and I will be moving in two weeks, and will be there for at least 3 months on a work contract. What are the can't miss meals in town?

What is life really like in Canon City and surrounding areas? Not talking nightlife or anything of the sort, but are there decent places to eat or get a cup of coffee? Are the people generally friendly? Is there much diversity or tolerance for it? What is it like shopping for groceries or farmers markets?

My wife is a travel social worker, and looks like we might accept a temporary work contract (3-6 months) in Canon City! We have one car, which she usually uses on the commute. Typical my 1.5 year old and I walk or take public transportation around. Doesn't seem like these would be super viable options here. Are there any activities or in or near town that are suitable for a toddler? Where are the best playgrounds in town? TIA!

Before it is lost to the imperfect memory of history, can someone please do a video walk-through of the entire Icabone swimming facility, from the front door to the change rooms to the concessions to the picnic areas?

I get that it had to be closed, but I don't want it to be forgotten.

Thanks,

Where are the best places to go fishing in Fremont?

Just moved here and loving it so far. I will have to get out to the Denver airport from time to time though and wondered if there were good options besides just making the drive myself (my truck is great for exploring the nearby mountains, less so for the freeway) - a shuttle, maybe a park & ride in Pueblo or Springs, bus service, etc.. Thanks in advance for any advice!

It's kinda sad that springs,denver,pueblo and a couple other places have NSFW groups but canon,penrose,Florence or any local towns near by doesn't

Looking at getting a year lease in Canon next year. I'm going to be rafting down the Arkansas but I don't have much work planned out for the winter. Any suggestions?

I'm visiting a friend in a couple weeks and we have always thought it'd be fun to try a food challenge but it's a bit of a challenge to find one. Any chance someone knows of one?

Me and my family (all adults) are heading to Cañon city at the end of April for a 5 day vacation.

Things we are already planning: Train ride Royal Gorge Bridge Winery at the Abby Museum of prisons

What other things should/could we do?

Driving down tonight, from Fort Collins, to do some fishing tomorrow and I'm wondering if you guys have any decent Chinese American food. FOCO has some great food but it's really lacking in the Chinese American department. I'm specifically looking for some good lo mein. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you so much, kind strangers! I had purchased all my groceries and gotten them in the car when I realized I was one lemon short.

Having the cashier throw my lemon on Your tab so I could get out faster was just the nicest thing that has happened to me in a while, and I sincerely appreciate it.

If you see this, thank you. That was really really sweet.

Hello all. We are thinking about buying a home in Canon City. We currently live out of state so spending time in Canon city is a bit difficult. Can anyone tell me are there areas to avoid? Or some areas that are better/worse when considering crime? TIA.

My mom grew up in Canon and my parents got married there. They had their wedding reception at The Belvedere. I have so many memories of going there with my friends and family growing up, and it’s so crazy to me that it has been gone for almost 10 years.

My parents have an anniversary coming up and I was thinking it would be special to try to make them a meal from there. I believe I have found a good recipe online for the salad dressing, but the biggest thing both of my parents always had was the beef manicotti. Does anyone know how (or even if it’s possible) I could possibly get the recipe for the meat inside and the sauce?

I would like someone to take a few pictures for me at the Icabone Swimming Pool, which I last visited in 1985. I would like pictures of:

• The diving boards and rock wall

• An empty lifeguard stand (preferably with a diving board or rock wall in the background)

• Empty section of the men's locker room (4-12 lockers)

• Empty section of the men's showers (3+ shower heads)

• A picture of an empty wade pool (complete pool, or as much of it is possible).

Photo credit will be published. Standard royalties ($500/pic) will be awarded if the pictures are used in a for-profit publication.

I know the pool is closed for the season. If you have access to the pool, DM me and let me know if you'll be able to help.

Just moved here a few months ago and we want to cut down a tree this year. We bought a permit through recreation.gov but since we are new here, we haven't the slightest idea which area is closest to us. We bought a permit for Pike and San Isabel National Forest but don't know where exactly to go.

As the title reads.

Recently moved onto Macon Ave in downtown Cañon and its a hotbed for police activity and questionable people.

Is the ground cursed or something?
