Narrows on Missouri Creek
Late summer afternoon in a narrow canyon on the Missouri Creek within the Holy Cross Wilderness of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
Yeoman Park Pond in the Colorado Rockies
A beautiful view of a beaver pond on an early morning hike through Yeoman Park in the Colorado Rockies. The Reflections and autumn color caught my attention in the crisp still mountain air.
Autumn Color on East Brush Creek
Beautiful color on East Brush Creek in Colorado's Sylvan State Park. The falls were flowing well and the location was super peaceful to sit and contemplate nature while listening to the waterfalls.
Valley with Geneva Creek
A view east down the valley of Geneva Creek near Guanella Pass in the Front Range Mountains of Colorado. Just after sunset in the western peaks, this was a good look down this popular camping area with ponds and the meandering creek.
Three Island Creek Waterfall
Waterfalls don't have to be massive to be beautiful. Finding smaller falls on a creek can be just as rewarding and even better to sit next to and daydream. This was a very nice one on Three Island Creek outside of Steamboat Colorado.
Colorado River at the Pumphouse
An aerial view of the Colorado River flowing west out of Gore Canyon towards Radium Colorado with the sunset looming over the Rocky Mountains.
Traildog in Williams Fork River
Springtime on the Williams Fork River near the confluence with the Colorado River. Teig was enjoying the cool afternoon playing in the river.
Traildog above Colorado River
Teig in the snow above the Colorado River valley near Hot Sulfur Springs in northern Colorado. We were exploring the Williams Fork Creek nearby and decided to hike up one of the small mountains and get a view of the area. It was worth the work.
Clear Creek Flowing under Christmas Footbridge
Clear Creek was not completely frozen over during the holidays. Beautiful Christmas lights lined the footbridge and the creek flowed towards downtown Golden and to Coors Brewery beyond.
Christmas Contemplation on Clear Creek
It is soothing to be down on Clear Creek at night during the holidays. The lights are beautiful and the sounds of the creek make a lovely chorus that helps folks forget about their concerns and focus on peace, family and friends.
Families Enjoying the Festive Clear Creek Footbridge
On a cold night, families are celebrating the holidays along Clear Creek in Golden Colorado. The bright colors on the footbridge crossing Clear Creek is one of the favorite locations to snap a photo of your loved ones.
Golden Footbridge Holiday Lights
The city of Golden Colorado lights up Clear Creek Trail for the holidays and this is the footbridge with beautiful lights. Fog was moving into the valley before the snowstorm.
Treasure Creek Falls
Beautiful waterfalls on Treasure Creek in the San Juan Range of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. We hiked on Summit Trail to these falls which were dappled in nice midday sunlight, perfect to sit beside and have lunch and listen to the sounds of the roaring stream.
Teig at Treasure Creek
The San Juan Range in Southwest Colorado is some of the most beautiful mountains in the continental United states. They are remote, wild and rugged. For those reasons Teig and I love to saunter into them. We were on Treasure Creek when I took this photo of Teig.
Winter on South Boulder Creek
I really enjoyed exploring the winter conditions at Walker Ranch in the Front Range Mountains west of Boulder Colorado. South Boulder Creek was predominantly frozen over with sections where the flowing water showed through the ice. I think it makes for a pretty interesting composition.
Traildog in the Rio Grande Gorge
Teig and I hiked down Chiflo Trail down into the Rio Grande Gorge in New Mexico. It was fun hike to reach the river at the bottom of the chasm. Exploring the rock formations and the river were so very cool. I love and miss my birth state!
Resting by Lost Creek
Teig resting by Lost Creek on our hike into the Colorado’s Lost Creek Wilderness on Wigwam Trail. This wilderness is a fantastic area to explore and is relatively quiet compared to the other Front Range mountain areas near Denver. Lost Creek is also great to cool off in on warm summer days on the trail.
