Beat the heat – head off to mountain

Another scorcher in Denver - 100 degrees (approx 38’ C). The only way to escape this type of heat is to head for the mountains. So off we went, equipped with lots of water, back packs and sunscreen, towards the west, to the mountains just past Morrison. Chris and I discovered the Bear Creek trail which follows the river, under the canopy of evergreen and other kinds of trees.
After a nice long walk, we relaxed by dipping our feet in the river, just soaking in the beauty all around us and the wonderful sound of the river. It’s difficult to imagine this same river all frozen up in winter. Such a great day, definitely one of my favorite past times.
