Hughes Stadium near the foothills is a great place to launch. Contact the campus and ask them. I’ve done there before on weekends and usually the place is packed with people walking their dogs, walking, running, etc. Wide open on…   Read more»

Excellent tips and suggestions. Joe your input is exactly what I was hoping was not the case but also what I really needed to know. I’ll check with the Fort Collins Fire Dept. to see what if any restrictions are…   Read more»
