Hiking Apex Park

This elk was standing in the middle of the trail yesterday you can see Denver in the background.

One of my new favorite hikes is just a 25 minute drive from Denver near Golden. It's called Apex Park -just above Heritage Park and not far from Red Rocks. Yesterday we saw a dozen or more mule deer along with just as many elk. The hike is pretty moderate but not a stroll. All together it works out to be a few miles that wind through the woods, along a stream and with a pretty steady grade for a lot of the hike. You can read more about it here.

This is such a dynamic image - I love the way every deer leaves in a different direction. Source.

I love the abstract quality of this image.

I was in the plane for over six hours today and it was a beautiful day. I love the Rocky Mountains.

I see more foxes and coyotes in Denver then I ever did growing up in Indiana. They seem to have really adapted to urban life.

White Rabbits

I just saw the White Rabbits play in Boulder last night with Here We Go Magic- it was a phenomenal set. This was the third time I've seen them live and they keep getting better. Don't miss them if they are coming your way.
