Lots of deer on the top of the mountain today!

Hiking, day 32: Antelope Trail
I'm sticking to my favorite local trail for the most part through the pandemic - partly because it's the closest to my house, and partly because it's a small trailhead and thereby limits the amount of people I can come in contact with.
Combining trips today - finally found toilet paper on the way out, and then picked up hand sanitizer from one of our local distilleries, Spirit Hound!

Hiking, day 31: The Hike for Beer, Part II
Each Sunday I'm planning on hiking from my house to our usual Sunday afternoon destination brewery. Here's some shots from today...
A different view of the remains of the Longmont Flour Mill.

Hiking, day 30: Historic East Side
Another, and a bit longer, hike in the neighborhood today now that we're in full shelter-in-place mode.
Empty sidewalks by the park and train tracks.
The former Longmont Presbyterian College building, now apartments, built in 1886.
A carved eagle into the remains of a tree.

Hiking, day 29: Collyer Park
Decided to take it a bit easier today and just did an extended walk around a nearby park.
History of the park.
This is a relatively new art installation in Collyer Park, that looks like a squirrel no matter what direction you're looking at it - at least to me, anyway.

Hiking, day 28: Antelope Trail
I had been planning on going back to Heil Valley Ranch today when I got an email that Hall Ranch had just reopened. I hurried out to Antelope Trail, and ended up being literally the only one on the trail - a first!
A look back at the empty trail head parking lot (other than my car). Usually, this place is so packed I sometimes can't even park and have to go elsewhere!
Click above for the full panorama - this is at the top of Antelope Trail where it joins with several of the other trails.

Hiking, day 27: Wapiti Trail
The weather and the trails continue to improve! While we're all dealing with social distancing and stay at home orders, it's still important to get outside and exercise safely. I'm really happy to say that on all of my hiking trips lately, that everyone seems to be taking it seriously and giving each other enough space to pass. Keep it up, Colorado!
I've mentioned it before, but this is still one of my favorite views to photograph, with the Flatirons in the distance.
I was stopping to take a drink of water, and didn't notice right away that I was standing just a few feet away from no less than ten deer!
This creek is usually dry during the winter - it's starting to run again with the snow melt - spring will be here soon!
