Eponymous
I went for a hike at Castlewood Canyon State Park on Sunday. It is a beautiful park east of Castle Rock. Castle Rock is south of Denver. Cherry Creek flows through the canyon. This is the same Cherry Creek that flows into the S. Platte River next to the REI in downtown Denver. I ended up hiking about 7.5 miles today. The weather was nice. I was able to wear shorts and a t-shirt hiking. There were some nice views of the Front Range from the canyon rim. I hiked by an old dam that was built in 1890. The dam failed in 1933. Here are some pictures.

The last picture of Pike's Peak framed between the two trees was cool. But I can't let your mother see the one of you sitting on the rock rim. Good to see you're getting out and hiking longer on trails with some ups/downs. The knee must be getting stronger.
