Hiking in the Colorful Paint Mines in Calhan Colorado
Now for a completely different type of hike out on the Colorado Prairie. One has to drive about an 45 minutes out from the edge of Colorado Springs to get to Calhan where the Paint Mines Interpretive Park is located. This is one of the most spirit renewing hikes I have ever taken. I was […]
Brave Birds Among the Ancient Cedars in Garden of the Gods
This hike had many interesting facets to it, not an ordinary Garden of the Gods hike. When we stopped for a lunch break on the way back down, there were some very brave birds. I often leave some nuts or dried fruit for creatures to find when we are gone. I placed a few pistachios […]
Concrete Couches Along the Fountain Creek Walk

These are different than some of their other couch projects, as they incorporated large rocks that were found along the Fountain Creek trail near The Fields Park in Manitou Springs into the couches.

Puzzling Sites in the Botanical Gardens Reflect on Life’s Puzzles
“The world’s a puzzle; no need to make sense out of it.” – Socrates” At the very beginning of our hike in Denver Botanical Gardens I saw this tree that had bark reminding me of a jigsaw puzzle. After that, I kept seeing ideas for puzzles in leaves and other plants. “The real question one […]
Icy Creeks in Cheyenne Mountain State Park
We saw Icy and Water Running in Creeks. At one juncture of trails, the creek was totally iced over. We decided to go up the trail we were on a bit farther, and explore this one some time in the future. But it give us a hint that in the Spring, we might have to […]
