| Plymouth Creek Trail. The snow is 2-3 feet deep here. Fortunately the trail is hard and easy to walk on. |
Great Weather this weekend. I got to hike in shorts & t-shirt. I went to Deer Creek Canyon Park, which is apart of the Jefferson County Open Space Park System. The park is southwest of town about 15-20 minutes away from my place. The main trail takes you through a small canyon. The vegetation and terrain is quite interesting in this canyon. The south-facing slopes had arid environment with little or no snow. The north-facing slopes had Douglas-firs and a three-foot snow pack. The trail went up the snowy side of this transition zone. I hiked about 9 miles Sunday. I'll have to come back another time to hike the rest of the park.

| Denver Skyline by the way of the Meadowlark Trail. The skyline has a
brown haze to it. I suspect that is from all dirt and junk that is on
the roads. One of those dots in the parking lot below is my car. |

What is the terrace looking stuff in the 2nd picture?
Yeah, it looks like steps going up a ridge to the right of Mike in the 2nd picture.
Isn't that great that you can have shorts & t-shirt hiking weather there this time of the year?
Here in Buffalo it's been below freezing for two weeks straight. It's suppose to warm up to near 40 degrees on Tuesday and everyone is excited. Funny eh?
Looks like the terrace stuff may be buildings. Are they condos at some ski resort? Pops
