The state park at Eldorado Canyon is, curiously enough, wedged into the bottom of a canyon. On either side is fairly steep rock walls with some trees to add colour.




Them there are rock-climber's canyon walls. (We did indeed see some climbers at one point, but they were so high up and far away that they looked like ants. Ants with helmets and rope.)




We started up the medium-intensity trail. We had nowhere to go but up.




I was all smiles at this point. But behind those bug-eyed sunglasses I was unsure of what lay before us...




The summit was dark and brooding...




OK, I'm kidding. It was actually very pretty on the way up, with the sun keeping us more than warm enough and the clouds rolling over the tops of the mountains with a refreshing breeze.
