Red Mountain Is Open!!!

After three weeks of delays, Red Mountain Open Space is FINALLY open to the public!! It was a fabulous day yesterday, sunny with a good breeze, no threats of rain at all!! We had a decent turn out, not as many as we expected, but still quite a few coming to check it out! Rodger and Kathie were in Denver visiting a friend, and even came up for a hike. We hiked the Bent rock trail, approximately 2.4 miles of changing landscapes!! Canyons, meadows, shrublands, but all beautiful!! Cameron had to carry Riley most of the way, his favorite part were all the rocks and bugs along the trail - typical boy!! Then we had lunch at the trailhead. They headed home, and I headed back out on trail, this time doing Sinking Sun and Big Hole Wash trails. Again, more of the breathtaking views!! Check out the Kodak album to see some of what the place offers, more pictures to come after I hike Ruby Wash and Cheyenne Rim trails!!
