Colorado August 2024 Pictures

Pictures from trip through Colorado from the Denver to the Western Slope to the Roosevelt National Forest on the Front Range.

Escalante Canyon

Escalante Canyon is part of the Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area and includes the Potholes Recreation Area, popular with extreme kayakers in the spring and picnickers in the summer.

Camp Dick

Camp Dick is situated in a glacial valley adjacent to Middle Saint Vrain Creek, with a mixture of forest and open meadow. The Middle Saint Vrain Creek is a good fly-fishing stream where anglers cast for rainbow, brown and cutthroat trout. Many trails in the vicinity are open to hiking and biking, including Sourdough and Buchanan Pass trails. The Indian Peaks Wilderness boundary is four miles from the west end of the campground. 

The moose cow and calf seemed to be living in the willow thicket around site 35, where I was camped.  They showed up daily while I was camping there.
