We went to a nearby park to do some hiking this weekend. Originally I was thinking we'd hike a little farther, but the trails there were very steep and not too good for small kids (or strollers) so we did a shorter one.
Here we are at Helen Hunt falls - where our hike started.
This was named for Helen Hunt Jackson the writer and activist, not Helen Hunt the actress. ;)
Above the falls
And looking down
Going up the trail. It was very slippery with all the gravel and the steps were very big! Especially for little Anna.
Pretty views!
Up at the top! Scott carried Grant all the way up. It was tricky for Scott since he doesn't have a full range of motion in his ankle yet. And carrying Grant makes it a bit trickier. I'm glad he could make it and not get hurt.
Here we are resting just above another waterfall (Silver Falls?) at the top.
Checking out the water
After our hike we drove down the canyon a different way. The road we took was called Gold Camp Road - an old trail or track to take gold out of the mountains into the old mill in Colorado Springs.
There were some great views along the way.
And a couple very rustic looking tunnels
It was so fun to get out and enjoy some of the beauty of Colorado.
