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.
Traildog in Fog at Gross Reservoir
Teig and I were exploring the area around Gross Reservoir in the Front Range above Boulder Colorado during a rainy day in spring. The lake was quiet and we didn’t see another soul as we hiked the rocks and the beaches of the lake. These are some of my favorite times spending moments with my Colorado Traildog.
Wet Weather Confronts Traildog at Lake
Stormy spring day hiking at Gross Reservoir in the Front Range of Colorado. Teig was soaked but having a blast playing in the sand a rocks around the lake and no other folks around.
Traildog Sauntering to Fisher Towers
It was a fantastic view hiking up to Fisher Towers outside of Moab, Utah. The Fisher Towers contains layers of sedimentary rock in various shades of red-brown, red-purple, and maroon. The colors are a result of varying amounts of hematite (an iron oxide).
A Front Range Goodnight
A beautiful day coming to an end in the James Peak Wilderness in the Front Range mountains of Colorado.
A Front Range Goodnight
Traildog in Mountain Fog
Teig and I were exploring the tree line below Kingston Peak in the Front Range Mountains of Colorado. The low clouds were moving up the slope to us and soon engulfed the ridge in it’s cool mist. The experience was calm and pleasant. I do love changes in weather when you are hiking in the mountains.
