Hiking, day 90: Nighthawk Trail

Went out for a slightly easier hike today for one very simple reason: I have to break in my new work/hiking boots! But here are two quick shots for a different view of Hall Ranch that I don't normally see.

Hiking, day 88: Antelope & Bitterbrush Trails

Another day at my favorite hiking spot in Colorado!



Wish I could have gotten a better shot of this brilliantly colored black and yellow bird, but he was jumping around quite a bit before flying off!

Hiking, day 86: Rabbit Mountain

Ended up being a shorter than expected hike today. Rabbit Mountain is also known as "Rattlesnake Mountain," and I got word early on my hike up that an aggressive rattler was hanging out on the trail I was heading towards, so I had to take a shorter detour this morning. Stay vigilant!

Hiking, day 85: Wapiti Trail

Ventured a little further out today, visiting the Wapiti Trail at Heil Valley Ranch in Boulder, CO.


View descending the trail.


A lone blooming cactus along the side of the trail.



I've walked over this bridge dozens of times without realizing these were grape vines. If you look below, you can see the grapes are starting to form.

Hiking, day 84: Antelope & Bitterbrush Trails

Went on a bit of a longer hike today to work off the extra calories from yesterday's diet cheat day!


Saw this little guy on the flower next to the trail.


Viewing coming down the Bitterbrush trail towards the Antelope trail.

Another little guy hanging out near the trail.

Hiking, day 83: Antelope Trail

Today's hike had cooler temperatures and patches of mist.


My favorite flower patch has passed it's prime for the summer. I will definitely miss these blooms as one of my favorite photography subjects.
