Today was a vacation day<\/strong>!!!! Took the day off so that I could go explore Red Rock Park a bit, there were two hiking trails that I wanted to do and today was forecast to be a beautiful day and I decided to take advantage of it. So, got up at my normal time, let the dogs out, gave them their snacks, and waited for Jesse to do their morning walks. We have a routing that we do not mess with. Once Jesse got back with them it was time to get the day started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I packed a bunch of water, some snacks and did the hour drive out to the West to Red Rocks Park.It took me a while to find the right parking lot for the trail I wanted to start with. For some reason things are not marked very well, but a quick download an a full years’ subscription to All Trails, I was able to find what I was looking for. And, yes, I think All Trails was worth it because there were a couple questionable trail markers on the loop and I was very happy to have the maps downloaded onto my phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ignore the distance on the above screenshot. I must have clicked start on the trail before I was even at the parking lot. The app is a little strange, but it is good. Don’t put in your pocket and expect it to provide a good map, it doesn’t. But once you have it out of your pocket and let it get a GPS fix it will re-orientate itself and show you where you are vs where you should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started off with the Red Rocks and Morrison Slopes Trail loop. This is a 3.5 mile loop with a total elevation climb of 853ft. The trail is a bit rocky, and there are areas that you have to have really good footing. But, let me tell you, it was worth it! The views along the way were awesome, and it was sort of neat to look down and see how far you have climbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the photos I took along the way. this is just sort of a camera dump, no editing has been done. The day continues under the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
