February 14, 2020 hike at Castlewood Canyon

 On Valentine's Day, we decided to drive somewhere to hike.
I had heard about Castlewood Canyon, so we decided to check it out.
It was beautiful!


 As you can see from this picture, we are skirting the edge of a cliff.  It was further than we thought, but oh my, it was gorgeous!
 Lots of snow covered rocks...

 They must get a lot of wind here, because there were a lot of gnarly trees.


 You really can't tell, but we came down this trail, not the way the arrow is pointing.  It was STEEP!
It was ICY! 
 We ended up by this dam...a dam we didn't know was there.  I'm not sure where we messed up, but we were on a super muddy trail that I didn't know if I'd get up without falling.  Somewhere we lost the trail and ended up walking about a mile on the road to get back to our truck!
 We celebrated by finding a little local brewery.  Baxter could even go inside!

This was a great Valentine's Day!
