The park features a line of jutting rocks that look windblown. They are all tilted at the same angle. We went on a hike that took up through a few of them, then up above for some great views.
Starting out
The trail was very muddy. We learned what happens when the dry Colorado clay gets soaked with melting snow: it turns into cement.
View of the rocks from the "summit"--I don't think we were very high, but we had a great view.
Denver and the plains. Can you see Denver? Tiny city to the left. Interesting clouds to the right.
Nice afternoon light.
It was a very pleasant hike. Amelia was sleeping for a little over half of it, and Dean and I were silent while she slept. I hd a nice time taking pictures and thinking hiking thoughts. Somehow you think about different things, or think about things differently, when you are just walking. After Amelia woke up, she looked at the scenery and munched on a triscuit for the rest of the hike. So all in all it was a success. A good afternoon.
