The Crags Trail

It's hiking season again, and last weekend a friend and I hiked the Crags. It's a very pretty trail with lots of photo opportunities.
There are nice views up the valley.
It's fairly high altitude, topping out at 10,808 feet (3,294 meters) above sea level according to my GPS watch, and there was still some ice along the creek.
But I love being in the forest.

    Yahoo! It's hiking season. Looks like a good hike. It's always nice to walk by a little snow and cool off on a hot day.

    Isn't that just quintessential Colorado -- those beautiful clear blue skies and sunshine, but still ice and snow. Beautiful!

    I like how the tree shadows play on the path and the ice at the creek seems determined to outlast its welcome. :)

    wow, that ice is so peculiar...but so very beautiful, too! I love Colorado a whole lot. It's the most wonderful place to be - a place where you feel as though you are a small piece to God's marvelous plan. Have a great week & blessings to you!

    That view is just awesome! Though I feel out of breath just thinking of the elevation.
