State." But anyone who has

knows what a gem it truly is.
Named one of the top destinations in the U.S. for public art,

juried outdoor sculpture show
in the U.S. with over 400 public
works of art throughout the city.
It's also home to the award-winning Benson Sculpture Gardens
and Chapungu Sculpture Park.
Loveland is also a haven for
recreation, boating at Boyd Lake State Park, fishing in the Big Thompson, golf at
three amazing courses or finding your inner cowboy at Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch.
Loveland has it all!
Loveland is ideally located just 45 minutes north of Denver and hailed as the
Gateway to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Whether you are

FOR 73 YEARS,
Loveland has been
the home of the worldwide
"Valentine Remailing Program"?
Every year, more than 100,000
Valentines are packaged inside
larger envelopes and sent to
Loveland, where volunteers
hand-stamp them with a special
Valentine's verse created
for that year and then send
them on to the intended
recipients.
