Carpenter Peak hike

Nancy and I went hiking today in Roxborough State Park. We hiked the 3.1 miles to the summit of Carpenter Peak and then 3.1 miles back. This was from the summit looking back at the town of Roxborough and Littleton, CO.

On the way down I took this photo of some of the red rock formations in the park with the city of Denver's skyline in the background. Pretty hazy huh! L.A. has the worst smog in the United States. Where else can you wake up in the morning to hear clouds coughing! Here in Denver all you have to do is put the air in blender before you can breath it. It's not nearly as bad.

It's still pretty early in the year to be hiking here. There were many places like this on the hike where the snow covered the trail. These were mainly on the North facing slopes. It made the going a little slower than normal.
