The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

My wife and I decided to explore an area just outside of Denver that I've been wanting to see for a while- Roxborough State Park. For those of you who've been to Colorado before, Roxborough is much like a larger Garden of the Gods (in Co. Springs), and personally I think its more beautiful and scenic. It had snowed overnight and the morning was fairly cold, so we got lucky and virtually had the place to ourselves. Here are some shots:



The view from the Lyons Overlook:





Looking the other way (north):





Its as if the rock is telling me something:





These red rock formations were anywhere from 20-100 feet tall:





My lovely hiking partner:





And finally, a perfect winter scene:





If you want to see more, I have posted all the pictures from Saturday in a Trip Report gallery:

Are you allowed to walk down to those rocks, such as the one that looks like a middle finger? Pretty cool looking place.
