Doing What I Can

As always as of late, I’m behind on my posts. I will keep it simple. This hike took place on Memorial Day this year. I did an out and back on the Colorado Trail from the South Platte River Trailhead. I did approximately 13 miles round trip. This section of trail goes through a part of the infamous Hayman Fire Burn Scar. Here are the pictures.
