Did you know that Colorado ranks among the fittest states in the nation? Perhaps it’s because our residents have access to some of the best public and private recreational facilities available. Bicyclists co-exist on many city streets on designated bike trails. And private fitness clubs and workout centers abound for those seeking to improve their health and well-being. Greeley’s two municipal golf courses are considered among the best in the state, having been ranked 4.5 out of 5 by evaluators from Golf Digest.
