Doe herd at Horsetooth Moutain Open Space. 3/9/2015


 My friend and I took a hike in the snow melt up at Horsetooth. We went from the trail head to Horsetooth Falls then hooked a right onto the Spring Creek Trail. About five to ten minutes into that particular path, we spotted 8 total Mule deer, 2 doe and 6 fawn. At first we were somewhat alarmed as we noticed the direction we had been walking was basically coming between the fawn and the doe so we backed up a little bit to take pictures and let them know we were passing through. These little moments hiking in the foothills of N. Colorado are amazing! Go out there today and see some for yourself! :)

Horsetooth Falls, Horsetooth Moutain Open Space 5/29/2013



Location: Horsetooth Falls (Horsetooth Mountain Open Space)
Date: 5/29/2013
How far we went: 2.4mi (Round trip)
Elevation reached: 5800ft
Weather: Sunny, warm. 

A short hike to the falls from the parking lot is simple for anyone that can walk. You can traverse down to where the falls lands or you can hike up where pool forms above. Some really nice views to and from and make sure you try to catch it during the snow melt! I've seen people swimming in these pools/water but I'm not sure if it's actually allowed or not. Jump in at your own risk, I suppose. $6 to for a daily pass so don't forget your wallet! For more info on this hike, visit it's Trail Wiki.
