Head to the West!

When many people hear of Berthoud Colorado, they often think of Berthoud Pass. Many skiers are familiar with this, but if you aren't a skier, you are missing a cute little town that I call my home town.

Located just 40 minutes north of Denver (depending on traffic of course), is the town of Berthoud. I grew up there and love it's atmosphere. Berthoud Estates is located west of town off Hwy 56 and County Road 23. Many homes are nestled on at least 1 acre sites and many different custom homes. But don't worry, when you hear custom, you can keep your wallet. Many homes are priced from the high $200's to the millions (depending on your needs of course). I grew up in a great ranch plan on 2 1/2 acres. Great horse property and lots of room to run. But all of the homes in this community are different and unique.

Berthoud has 1 high school, Berthoud High School, home of the Spartans. 2 Elementary Schools, Berthoud Elementary and Ivy Stockwell, and 1 middle school, Turner Middle School.

Hwy 287 used to run right through the town but in recent years, a bypass was built to preserve the small town nature of the community.

Next time you are traveling north of Denver, be sure to exit and visit this town, it's a wonderful place to grow up and I personally cherish my time here!

Hi Heidi, when we lived in Westminster I had a good friend move to Mead from Broomfield.  Her husband was with Continental also so we both ended up getting relocated.  They went to Cleveland Ohio and then moved here a couple of years ago.  They loved the area around Mead when they lived there. 

I had a bad first skiing experience at Berthoud pass so don't have fond memories there.  I always wondered how they both ended up getting called the same name when they are not close at all.

Hey Marchel, good to hear from you again! How is TX? I often wondered the same thing. I never did my homework to learn about the 2 but I always get asked about skiing and have no clue what it's like up there. I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience. Hope you are doing well and come back to CO to visit. Thanks for visiting my blog, you're awesome!!
