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! :)

How far we went: 3.65mi

How long it took us: 2:22:06

Elevation reached: Started at 5639ft and got up to 6760ft

Weather: Sunny, breezy, nice

This was our first hike in Colorado and it was beautiful! Had to pay $7 to get into the park but it was totally worth it. We did the most popular trail, the Arthur's Rock Trail, and it was one of the better hikes we have been on. We were short of breath but I think it had more to do with the elevation change than with the difficulty. The view from the top was a breathtaking scene of Horsetooth Reservoir, Fort Collins and the Front Range. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Don't forget to check out the video!
