Rocky Faces
Rocky Gateway Embedded with Sparkling Stones
Trying to recapture the feeling of peace found yesterday. Looking around my home at all the crystals that abide here, brought back the thoughts of sparking stoned embedded in the red boulders along the Crystal Valley Cemetery section of the Intermann Trail.

Cheyenne Mountain Inside and Out
Cheyenne Mountain is a very unusual Mountain. It is a very functional mountain for our area and the country. As one would expect in a State Park, it is the natural habitat for many forms of wildlife. The ruggedness of it protects them in many ways. Yet, one would never guess by looking at if […]
