Jane Jacobs Walk to Find the Hidden Philmont Treasures Hunt / Philmont Community Day

Participants will be given a list of Philmont’s hidden treasure hunt clues – of which the answers will be based purely on observation skills during the walk. There will be up to 20 clues provided.

The Jane Jacobs Walk to Find Philmont’s Hidden Treasures Walk will gently amble through the Village Green, visiting the historic Tea House, walk the Philmont Labyrinth, then head up Maple Avenue which is full of historic 19th century homes, down Prospect St. towards the Harder Mansion, up Main St, turn right on Elm St and continue up to the Summit Mill and Summit Lake. The walk will continue along Lake Drive, down Ark St, turn right onto Main St. and continue up to the Vanderbilt House to end the walk – where refreshments and conversation can be enjoyed sitting on the outside dining deck overlooking the Summit Lake.

For those of us who are more energetic – the walk can continue by circling back down the Main St. to visit the Columbia Land Conservancy High Falls nature trails.

There will be a cap of 25 for the Jane Jacobs Walk to Find the Hidden Philmont Treasures Hunt on Philmont Community Day. No cap for participants for the treasure hunt component. This component does not require the participant to join in the walk and can be self directed.

Jane Jacobs Walk is proud to promote WalkDenver’s first Better Block initiative. Better Block Jefferson Park will take place on Saturday, June 23rd, 2012 in the old business district of Jefferson Park— on 25th Ave, between Federal and Eliot.

Cities around the U.S. are looking for tools to help redevelop communities that enable multi-modal transportation while increasing economic development, and reducing carbon emissions. The “Better Block” project is a demonstration tool that acts as a living charrette so that communities can actively engage in the buildout process and provide feedback in real time.

Please note that this is an all day event.

Join the Young Architect’s Forum (YAF) to explore the Granary District. In the spirit of Jane Jacobs, participants will stroll through this dynamic urban village, stopping to tour local highlights and hear the stories of residents, designers and business owners.

The evening kicks off at 6:00pm at Artspace Commons (800 S @ 400 W), where there’ll be a display of architecture projects focused on the Granary District. From there, The Young Architects Forum, in collaboration with SLC Green Drinks, will be hosting a tour of the District (what folks in the know call a “Jane’s Walk”), featuring local businesses and highlighting what’s going right in the neighborhood.

At the heart of it all, is the block party — from 5–8pm — with street performers, food trucks, and live music.

Then, when the sun sets, join us at Frida Bistro — where Local DJs and photographers will showcase a performance peice featuring Granary District images accompanied by sound. And, of course, there’ll be Frida’s incomparable tapas, margaritas, and mexican lagers.
