Here are some pics of our visit to Eldorado Canyon State Park - our closest state park..... about 20 minutes away.
This park was stunning right from the entrance. You pass through Eldorado Springs a small, old mountain town and then enter the park. It's really cool.
You're in this big, steep canyon, so pretty much the only way to go is up. So this is the kids before the ascent.
Amelia ready to climb. The kids were all eager to go up to test their playground skills.
Cora had a lot of fun hanging out on Daddy's back.
This is a shot of us going down after we made it as far as we safely could go with such little legs.
The views are just unbelievable, probably even more so in person. This will be the park to hit in the fall. It will be four years since we've seen the leaves change. We are excited about it!
All of us hiking it on the trail that runs along the creek.
We never did make it to the top of that one though. Maybe next time.
Shots of the creek along side the trail.
This is Boulder creek running through, and there are more small water falls here than in Boulder where the creek passes.
The kids had to get a closer look, and they are always looking for their chance to spot some gold.
Cora doing a little rock climbing of her own.
Cora just being cute. She'd keep right up with the kids and their climbing too, if we'd let her.
