Horsetooth Sunset

We rented a Larimer Parks Pass from the library for a week so we could do some rock climbing at Horsetooth. But because of all the rain, we only got to use it once. However, since we had it, we figured we should enjoy the sunset at Horsetooth. We got there a little early and wandered over to all the rocks we wanted to climb to see where they were and what they looked like. There were a lot of dangerously tall boulders that we wanted to climb at some point (but given the height, we might not). It's a good thing we didn't climb this evening because the ground was incredibly muddy (we need dry ground to put our crash pads on). A few days after this sunset evening we got out to climb in this area. I didn't bring my camera while we were climbing because I was spotting Katie.

V-Easy

Katie climbed this V-Easy rout on the Elimination Boulder. V-Easy isn't even a real rating, but it wasn't too difficult. After Katie jumped off I climbed it up to the top. The water made the rock slippery but I had no problem sending it.

Green

The recent rain has made everything in the foothills incredibly green.

Muddy

Katie is showing off her muddy shoes.

Sunset Over Horsetooth

Horsetooth reservoir is a great place to watch the sunset. We weren't the only people up here doing this, either.

On the Edge

Katie and I found a great spot to watch the sunset from. While we were waiting for the sun to go down I was running around taking photos from various spots.

Boating at Sunset

There were two boats that ruined our perfect water reflections. But it adds a level of interest in the photo so I'm not too upset about it. It started getting darker and the sunset wasn't getting any better so I took this last shot and we headed back home.
