10 Things To Do In & Around The Ranch

Good morning, Highlands Ranch.

First of all, thank you. We passed 1k subscribers last week. Next week, I’ll share the origin story of this newsletter—leave it as a cliff hanger for now.

The ultimate tournament has begun. Every four years, the World Cup has a way of bringing people together. Countries from around the world take to the field to play the beautiful game.

The U.S. came out looking sharp—winning their first match. Tomorrow is their second game against Australia.

Onto this week’s Scoop:

Let’s get into it.

I watched the county meeting last week where officials discussed scooters. I watched the part where the sheriff explains the differences between these vehicles about 5 times.

Then, I wrote this brief to break it down.

You’ve seen them zooming on trails and roads and yes—even parks. Here’s the most recent Ranch brief:

🔥 No current restrictions
💧 Restrictions: Stage 1

🚗 Ranch Resource: Link On Demand

This Father's Day weekend, we're introducing Andrew—a Highlands Ranch dad and physical therapist at Physio Room.

From family life to wellness, his story reflects a belief that health is about more than treating problems—it's about helping people find vitality, stay active, and live well long before injury strikes.

Refer 3 nearby friends or family using your personal referral link (found below), and we’ll celebrate your birthday in that week’s Scoop newsletter.

Once you hit 3 referrals, we’ll send over a quick form to collect your birthday. (Don’t worry — no birth year required.)

📬 Before You Go

Thanks for spending part of your week getting the scoop.

Whether you're heading to a concert, exploring a new park, catching the World Cup, or firing up the grill this weekend, I hope you find something worth getting out for.

Here is the link to the 4th of July Summer Guide if you’re staying local for the holiday.

And to all the dads, grandpas, stepdads, and father figures in the community—Happy Father's Day.

See you next week.
