On the Rocks

How are you luvin' that late season winter weather? Aahhh, Springtime in Colorado.

In anticipation of an upcoming trip, and suffering from a bout of cabin fever brought on by watching snow flakes tumble from the sky in May, I thought I'd grab my wife's camera and head up to Red Rocks Park to see what it looks like all covered in the white stuff. Now, Red Rocks is many things to many people. From concerts, to Film and Yoga On the Rocks, from Easter Sunrise Service to running stairs, not to mention great hiking trails and biking as well as being home to the Colorado Music Hall of Fame, Red Rocks is a gem of a park.

With the weather supposed to turn warm with highs approaching 80 degrees this week we have, just perhaps, left the cold and snow behind us for good although up in the mountains avalanches continue to plague backcountry travelers. When the snow starts to melt in earnest the rafting season should be outrageous. I did some filming at the Buena Vista river park of a guy getting in some kayak gyrations in what had to be some really cold water but he still looked like he was having a blast.

And while up at Red Rocks in the snowy weather I took some pics of some views of the park you might not get to see if you only visit on a nice summer day. The Park takes on an ethereal appearance in wintry weather for those brave enough to get out to see it. Soon enough we’ll be moaning about how hot, rather than how cold, it is. Aahhh, Springtime in Colorado... Get out and enjoy!
