Near Pike National Forest is a beautiful out-of-the-way place between Denver and Colorado Springs that bursts wide open with activity every summer. It’s as pleasant as it sounds: Larkspur, Colorado. It’s a place as quaint as its name, and is home to the Colorado Renaissance Festival during the summer months, and also the full-time wildlife and human residents who adore their privacy, quiet, and mountain views.
