We spent a week in Denver, hanging out the Janiece and Anne and Susan and Stacy (and attendant family members) and not only did we have a wonderful time, I was able to be convincing of the need for hikes.

Our first trip was to Dinosaur Ridge, which is a free park. It was a steep hike in parts, but beautiful, and I was sorry my ankle didn’t like the climbing, because I would have liked to have spent more time there.

This didn’t make a lot of sense to me…

…until a later walk along Sulfur Gulch clarified things for me.

Here are some of the dinosaur tracks:

And then the hike:

And we found a baby rattlesnake! (No one was bitten)
