MLK Day Hike

Colorado is nothing if not a land of contrasts...today was no different. Since we had the day off, we spent most of it on projects that needed doing around the house. But then, the warm afternoon sunshine ( it was 60+ today!) prompted us to pack up the family and go over to Red Rocks Canyon, an old sandstone quarry and ranch turned open space,about 10 minutes drive from our house. We took a 3 mile hike that looped through parts of the canyon and over the hill to the other side. We had a blast, and wore the dog out, too!
