Rocky Mountain National Park

Also known as “The Rockies”, formed 55 million to 80 million years ago during the Laramide orogeny, in which a number of plates began sliding underneath the North American plate.

Keep the joints moving

Many of the residents from day to day may complain about joint pain but will still exercise to the best of their ability. Our Fox rehab team says that movement is the best thing for joints. Sometimes because of the joint pain many think they don’t want to move but once the joint knows that movement has started the muscles and joints start to loosen up. This is exactly what is needed but never over do it.

Rocky Mountain National Park

Rocky Mountain National Park’s 415 square miles (265,807 acres) encompasses a spectacular range of mountain environments. From meadows found in the montane life zone to glistening alpine lakes and up to the towering mountain peaks, there is something for everyone to discover.

Crafty Crafters

This activity always brings a different group of residents depending on what the craft is but there are some residents no matter the craft are always here. Trying to find a craft that everyone will enjoy is a challenging, but I think I have stumble upon one and that making your own pen.
