Someone left a Saturday edition of the "Rocky Mountain Post" on our driveway, and there in the outdoor section was a section all about the "Yellow Brick Road" of Colorado's Front Range. Waterton Canyon is literally no more than 20-25 minutes away, and really is a great place for fishing, hiking & biking. On the spur-of-the-moment yesterday morning, I asked Jane, Jarom and Melissa if they wanted to go for a hike along the South Platte River and they all thought it sounded like a great idea. The morning started out really clear and cool, but warmed up as the day progressed. We ended up hiking about five miles round trip, and really got some ideas for future day trips. The trail goes along the South Platte River as it leaves the mountains, and from all accounts (and from what we could see) is pretty good for fishing. We'll have give it a try soon!
This spillway is from an aquaduct that supplies water from the Platte River to the greater Denver metro area.
Bryson LOVES rocks, and during a break insisted on grabbing a few from the road
A little video from the trip. Sorry about the cheesy music track. I was trying out Microsoft's new free movie maker program. Its actually really easy to use and has some pretty cool features such as being able to rotate a video. You can download it free from

Decent video for a quick throw together. Fun hike!

Yes, the music wasn't the best for what we were seeing, but I like how you can hear both the music and the sound from the video. Beautiful place!
