We’re half way through a week in Colorado, and we’ve spent a good bit of that time hiking around much like we do in Texas…only it’s a nice 60 to 70 degrees F when the light’s right here. Last night we got back to the car and it was 49 degrees F. I live in West Texas, which is more north than a lot of the state, but we don’t get summer temperatures like this! Luckily we do have the lack of humidity.
Before I run for a little rafting, I thought I would share a shot from just below Hunters Lake, an 8-acre jewel of a pool of water near Wolf Creek Pass. The water is flowing good around here, and many of the shots I’m getting are back in the woods around streams and miniature waterfalls, where it’s even cooler, the light is even and dark.
More to come!

Enjoy your trip. 49F. Wow. 90F in Sugar Land. 105F in NYC. You picked the right spot to hike.

Thanks Jeff, last night near Del Norte peak was plenty cool! Tons of running water and overcast conditions!
