Back to Roxborough State Park

My last walk at Roxborough State Park was cut short because of rain.  I returned today to finish the South Rim Loop.

I got a late start.  It was about 2:30 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time or 1:30 p.m. sundial time.

I did a quick check of the park map.

And then hit the trail.

There were many butterflies flying about and many wildflowers.  Here is a sample of both.

The park is known for its fascinating red rock formations.

I saw one animal on the trail, a sleepy squirrel that moved about six inches off the trail as I approached.  He felt safe enough in the weeds to stay put.  I could have leaned over and tapped him on the head.

I liked this formation -- two parallel limestone ridges sandwiching a greensward.

End of the trail...    (Funny, the walk felt like 6 miles.)
