Happy Trails! New website offers detailed information about hiking in Colorado
www.RockyMountainHikingTrails.com offers detailed information on more than 70 hikes, including trail descriptions, key features, pictures, maps, elevation profiles and more. Additionally, the site is organized to make it easier for hikers to compare and choose trails that best suit their hiking preferences. Before the launch of RockyMountainHikingTrails.com, hikers had difficulty finding detailed web-based trail information for Rocky Mountain National Park. Most existing sites list only a handful of the most popular trails, and provide only limited information without regard to individual hikers’ skill level or preferences.
With this new website, hikers can choose trails based on either location within the park, hiking difficulty, key features, or they can simply look at an alphabetical listing. RockyMountainHikingTrails.com uses a mathematical formula to rate trail difficulty which gives hikers a comparable reference point between trails. This information will benefit any day hiker; including people looking for a short stroll to a nearby waterfall, to the long distance hiker looking to climb Hallett Peak, as well as hikes of varying lengths and difficulty in-between.
RockyMountainHikingTrails.com’s goal is to become the most comprehensive source for free information on hiking trails in Rocky Mountain National Park. Currently the site provides detailed information on more than 70 hikes in the Park, including trail descriptions, key features, pictures, maps and elevation profiles.
RockyMountainHikingTrails.com is the sister site to www.HikinginGlacier.com, launched last year, and www.HikingintheSmokys.com, the number one hiking website for the Great Smoky Mountains. Launched in April of 2008, HikingintheSmokys.com has received more than 495,000 visits over the last 12 months, and currently ranks 20th among all 410 hiking websites, according to Alexa.com. HikingintheSmokys.com was also named the best website for Trails on Federal Lands in 2008 by American Trails.

Fort Collins Startup Company Logimesh Technologies Receives ‘Best Technology Development of Energy Harvesting’ Award
FORT COLLINS, CO – (Rocky Mountain Innosphere) Logimesh Technologies, a Fort Collins based technology company focused on developing an intelligent wireless sensor system for the Oil and Gas industry was awarded the “Best Technology Development of Energy Harvesting” award at the IDTechEx "Energy Harvesting and Storage USA" conference in Washington, DC.
The IDTechEx conference is the world's largest conference covering the very latest developments in energy harvesting, a process of capturing and storing energy to operate autonomous device like wearable electronics and wireless sensor networks. “For Logimesh to walk out winning this award gives significant validation to their technology,” said Mike Freeman, Rocky Mountain Innosphere CEO. “Their engineered solution for intelligent remote monitoring is what the market needs and values.”
“We’re very excited to have Logimesh as an Innosphere Client,” said Doug Johnson, VP of capital access at the Innosphere. “Not only is their company very driven to keep high tech jobs here in Colorado, but their technology even beat out Intel and GE last week when they were nationally recognized.”
Logimesh Technologies, LLC is focused on the development of an intelligent wireless sensor platform which will provide a ‘Big Data’ predictive analytic solution for the Oil and Gas industry to remotely monitor the health of engines and compressors in oil and gas field such as the Wattenberg Field on the Front Range. Outfitted with a low-power microprocessor, the devise not only provides a real-time snap shot of the engine health by measuring temperature and vibration, but the actionable data can potentially save companies millions of dollars of unplanned maintenance costs and lost production revenue. It is also possible for the industry to continuously monitor flow rates, tank level and water quality of produced water and frac water from oil and gas wells.
Logimotes™ are small, self-powered electronic sensor devices that can be easily installed onto engines and compressors to track critical machine health attributes and provide real-time gas and oil production information. Logimesh is using ground breaking High Energy Cell (HEC) technology from Infinite Power Solutions (Littleton, CO), coupled with a thermoelectric generator (TEG), to turn waste heat from the engine into usable voltage and provide sustainable power to the Logimotes. The HEC technology features a 4-volt rechargeable solid-state chemistry that delivers high power, ultra-low self-discharge rate and long life for permanent battery implementations.
Brining this HEC + TEG technology to the oil and gas industry is what makes Logimesh unique and at the forefront of energy harvesting technologies. “Up to 16 Logimotes are installed on each engine, providing a snap shot of the engines health every 10 seconds,” said Bill Gillette, founder and CEO of Logimesh. “The real-time measurement and constant flow of ‘smart data’ is what makes the technology so valuable. The predictive nature of the data makes the information actionable, potentially save companies millions of dollars of unplanned maintenance costs and lost production

Etkin Johnson Group begins construction on 74-acre mixed-use Broomfield business center development
The initial components of the 74-acre mixed-use development include construction of the 374-unit Retreat At The Flatirons luxury apartment community and the 4-acre Del Corso Park, which will be developed by Etkin Johnson Group and dedicated to the City of Broomfield. The first phase, which will total approximately $80 million, will also see construction of the infrastructure for the remaining 51 acres.
The balance of Broomfield Business Center will take shape with a wide array of restaurants, banks, retail, single and multi-story office/flex, structured and surface parking and a hotel. When complete, the walkable community will total more than 1.5 million square feet. Bank of America Merrill Lynch provided the construction financing totaling approximately $53 million for the first phase of Broomfield Business Center, including the multi-family component and the master development infrastructure. “Bank of America Merrill Lynch is pleased to once again work with Etkin Johnson Group, a recognized leader in high-quality development in the Front Range,” said Patrick Barnes, Senior Vice President, Commercial Real Estate Market Executive – Mountain West States. “Broomfield Business Center is a great example of the type of development we are committed to as a leader in commercial real estate lending,” commented Chad Neubecker, Senior Vice
President, Commercial Real Estate at Bank of America.
Barnes and Neubecker worked closely to close the complex transaction in August 2012 with Aaron Johnson, Vice President Investments at Etkin Johnson Group. Initial occupancy for the Retreat At The Flatirons apartments is slated for July 2013. Residents will have 17 floor plans to choose from ranging in size from 703 square feet up to 2,023 square feet.
Monthly lease rates for the one, two, and three-bedroom apartment homes are estimated to range from $1,000 to $2,235 monthly. The apartments at the Retreat will boast an unparalleled level of upscale finishes including nine-foot ceilings, full-size washer and dryer in each residence, stainless
steel appliances, granite countertops in kitchens and baths, high-end plumbing fixtures, private patio or balcony with incredible views and available fireplace and garden tub in select plans.

configurations.
The Retreat At The Flatirons will offer one of the largest, most sophisticated sets of lifestyle enhancing amenities in the market. The welcoming Craftsman style of the apartments reference both traditional and contemporary architectural elements that will be carried through to The Club At The Retreat. Indoor and outdoor features will create a true resort-like atmosphere centered around health, fitness, relaxation, socializing and entertainment. Additionally, residents will have access to an adjacent 4-acre city park, which is being developed and donated to the City of Broomfield.
Planned indoor amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, saunas, yoga center, Internet café, billiard’s room, business center and an expansive entertainment lounge. Slated outdoor amenities will include a shallow courtyard pool with lounge chairs, two-lane, 25-meter lap pool, outdoor kitchen, picnic arbor and grilling station, fire pit, bike repair shop and dog wash facility.
“We are very excited to see Broomfield Business Center taking shape in this outstanding location. The accessibility and views are amazing. The site infrastructure and residential component will set the spark for the 50 acres that will remain available for future development. Ultimately, Broomfield Business Center will result in a new pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with a vibrant mix of residential, retail, restaurant, banking, hotel, entertainment and office uses along with inviting public
spaces including a city park and access to the adjacent trail system,” said Bruce Etkin, Chairman of Etkin Johnson Group.
