Default Cool pictures from Colorado

I had the day off today so I went hiking up to Horsetooth. They are some big rocks about 2,000 feet up that look like the teeth of a horse. I took some pictures along the way. It's so beautiful here.


The horsetooth resevoir.


View from the base of the hill. That big rock is where I'm headed.


You can see some deer running from me. No ninja skills.


Some of the real big mountains become visible once you get a little elevation.


The resevoir and Fort Collins in the background.


Almost to the top!


So close!!


View from standing on the top of the rocks.


The valley I came from.

It took me about 3.5 hours to hike up and about 2.75 hours to hike down. Not a bad way to spend such a beautiful day. It was 67* at about 22% humidity. And not a cloud in the sky.

Fort Collins is at about 5,300 feet and then the climb to the top of Horsetooth is another 2,000.

It's really good exercise, especially when you get close to the top and it gets really steep.
