We had a great walk to Cascade Falls, but something happened before I even left the parking lot area. Look, over there! Thank goodness for being on this side of that deep cement dyke and not the forest side.
SNAP*Shot: Most Memorable Event in Ouray!
SNAP*Shot: Ouray’s Cascade Falls
Ouray, Colorado, sits just inside the San Juan Mountains along US-550. There are gorgeous views and many streams flowing to the Uncompahgre River on the west side of town. Not to mention the rock amphitheater surrounding the town. This morning we are hiking to Cascade Falls. It is a two (2) minute drive from Main Street on the east side of town. Can’t beat that commute! Like most every road and trail in Ouray, it is UP this way!

Grand Wash Trail: A Must-Do Canyon Experience
Welcome to Capitol Reef National Park! It is 7am and we are headed down the Park’s Scenic Drive to Grand Wash Trail. The hike takes us through the Waterpocket Fold which actually defines Capitol Reef. We will walk at the base of 600-foot canyon walls and through 15-foot wide narrows. The temperature is already close to 80 degrees, but hoping the shade in the canyon will keep us cool for a while. This will be fun!

Bryce Canyon Rim Trail–Breathtaking Hoodoo Heaven!
We’ll be taking a look at the views along Bryce Canyon National Park’s Rim Trail. Although the trail is about 5.5 miles long, we’ll only be exploring the 3 miles that goes around Bryce Amphitheater. There are four major overlooks and we’ll see each one starting with Bryce Point, the highest overlook at the south end of the Amphitheater. Welcome to Bryce!
