首页town Hot Spots

On your way to Greeley for 同学会? Whether you just graduated or you graduated 50 years ago, you’ll find much has changed – but the friendly Greeley vibe remains. There’s so much to see and do, and with a nod to some of the city’s hidden gems and new businesses, we’re happy to share a sneak peek of this UNC杂志 Greeley Guide, just in time for planning your trip.

Our hometown is growing (in fact, it’s the fastest growing town in Colorado and 4^th fastest in the nation). If it’s been a while since you’ve been to Greeley, you may not know about some of our town’s hidden gems, family friendly activities, art and the growth of breweries and distilleries around town. Recent grad Dakota Perez ‘22 shares some ideas to get you started. For a more comprehensive list, check out the 游客指南: visit格里利.org.
