Mud

It’s springtime in the Rockies, so that means… must be time for a mud hike!  Gorgeous day out yesterday, so I donned hiking boots and did the Rim Rock Trail in Castlewood Canyon.  Don’t let the name fool you:  In addition to plenty of rock, there’s also plenty of mud this time of year.

Also some snow in shady spots.

No shortage of vistas:  Looking northwest.
Mud Season crevase, Rim Rock trail
Crevasse: The drop off is only about 150 feet!
Plenty of trees, alive… and dead.
This old warrior is one of my favorites.
