Loveland

Loveland is 46 Miles from Denver. Loveland is the 14th most populous City in Colorado. The city's public schools are part of the Thompson R2-J School District. It is south of Fort Collins, its larger neighbor and part of Larimer County. The Ft Collins-Loveland metropolitan area has received numerous awards as a great place to live, by Money Magazine, USA Today, AARP the Magazine, and others. There is a large population of artists in Loveland, which has drawn three foundries, an art museum, and the annual sculpture shows in August. 

The city is located in the Colorado Front Range region at the base of the foothills just east of the mouth of Big Thompson RiverCanyon at the intersection of U.S. Highway 34 and U.S. Highway 287. Longs Peak and other mountains of the Front Range are visible from much of the city. Lake Loveland, an early agricultural reservoir in the irrigation system of the region, is located in the city limits and provides a recreational facility for the city residents.

Because of its location along U.S. 34, at one of the major access routes to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, Loveland receives a significant amount of pass-through tourist traffic, especially in the summer months.
