Pulpit Rock February 2017

By Manitou Julia on Thursday, February 16th, 2017 | No Comments

It has been a few years since I last hiked the trails at Pulpit Rock. There was absolutely no signage indicating where to turn off of Nevada Avenue or where the trail head actually is located. And the entrance for the parking lot is quite different looking. But we did find it after a couple […]

Been Down A Rabbit Hole

By Manitou Julia on Monday, February 6th, 2017 | No Comments

I’ve Been Down a Rabbit Hole of Creativity for the Last Year. So one of the main reasons I haven’t been focused on writing about my hikes is, I had fallen down a “rabbit hole’ of being creative with my Nature Photos. This is an example of what I have been doing that came from […]

Time to share more hikes and how they revive my spirit. So I haven’t stopped hiking, I just got away from posting them here. But plan on writing about current and past hikes starting NOW! Just two days ago it was frosty and very cold. Then it was 60 degrees today and I just couldn’t […]

Spirit Renewed on a 2015 Christmas Hike

Some how I have gotten away from posting my hikes here. Talk about them on Facebook, but need to keep this site more up to date. I have taken many hikes since my last post. Also considering putting them into a book format . . . On this Christmas day, I needed a “spirit renewing […]

Hike Along The Platte River Near Deckers 2015

By Manitou Julia on Sunday, July 19th, 2015 | No Comments

Hiking above the Platte River in Deckers Colorado can be a bit adventurous. Some of the trail is very steep and covered with scree. This made them rather challenging to stay on one’s feet and not go slip sliding down the slope. I hadn’t brought a hiking pole, but found a lovely hiking stick to […]

On the Bevers Trailhead in July 2015

Had planned on taking a hike in Red Rocks, but called my hiking friend and suggested a different trail. This trail is part of the Intermann Trail and starts up in Crystal Hills. She agreed and we were both so very happy we made this change of plans. So many flowers and great views […]

Catamount Reservoir Hike Near Woodland Park Colorado

Hiked to the Catamount Reservoir on June 24, 2015. Took a longer hike yesterday than last weeks hike. Started a bit earlier and had blue skies at the start. As we hiked farther beautiful big puffy white clouds appeared all around. The trail seemed to end, but we walked along the shore a bit farther. […]

Lovell Gulch outside of Woodland Park, Colorado on June 17, 2015. It is truly time to get back to posting my hikes. Or at least the images that I captured on them. Lovell Gulch was awesome today! If you can get up to Lovell Gulch for a hike in the next few days, you will […]

New Favorite Hike in the Garden of the Gods

By Manitou Julia on Tuesday, May 20th, 2014 | No Comments

Last week I had planned on doing a hike heading to the Hot Springs with my hiking friend, but time didn’t allow this. Plus I also am having some trouble with my left knee. And neither of us really felt like taking a long hike. So my hiking friend and I decided to explore a […]

Signs of Spring in Ute Valley Park

By Manitou Julia on Sunday, May 11th, 2014 | No Comments

There were many signs of Spring along the trails in Ute Valley Park. Some more noticeable than others. There were many of these purple flowers and the prickly pear cactus were greening up along some sections of the trail. Ah, cactus are every where we hike. Gotta be careful when stepping off the trail to […]
