I so enjoy the trail odpa, In recent years they've completed much more on the trails to make an additional 60 miles or so, that runs along creeks and by little lakes and along old RR grades. I can go all over from my backyard, which is awesome, as this trail system goes right behind my back yard, as I just took this 4th picture out the back yard on this wonderful morning. I take my mountain bike out on this trail system all the time and it'll take me to the woods along the creeks or an old coal camp site to look for relics of the late 19th century all the way to the bluffs you see in the background of the 4th photo, where I have found Indian artifacts that could be thousands of years old?. I think now I can even go to Denver from my back yard on a bike and ride almost all the way without getting on any of the hectic and busy highways and streets.?? There's this really old fella, I see out on the trails and he'd be just peddling oh so slowly along the trails and recently he got him one of those fancy electric peddle assist e-bikes and now he's flying along these trails with a big old smile on his face. Those things really move along and are so quiet.
Got a be quick, as it's all a matter of seconds before the coyote heads off and the dove flies away. Just take your best shot is what I do. Win some loose some is how it all goes down when it comes to wildlife. Those little gold finch were all over the place. I'd seem em and as soon as I'd zoom in there'd be nothing but the branch that they were on. Look around quickly and try again is what I was doing on them.
I'm very pleased the municipalities and counties do this kind of thing. You need a place to get away from all the rat racing around here. The mountains are getting so overrun with all kinds of Denverites, it's hardly any fun to go up there in the summer anymore.
