Tourist for a Day

We spent the day as tourists exploring Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Park as well as Dinosaur Ridge. We were both sore and didn't want to kill a ton of time driving somewhere far, so we stayed local. We took the girls with and had a great time.

Neither of us have attended a concert at Red Rocks, but this summer's list is very tempting. I think we may just have to purchase some tickets! We did the hike around the valley floor of Red Rocks and enjoyed impressive views and rock statues. The girls got a kick out of all the new smells.


The girls paws were very red at the end of this hike-- a true sign of their having fun! We came across a young male deer with fuzzy antlers that caused Sequoia to erupt in a barking temper-tantrum. I've never seen her become quite so vocal. Poor deer was (obviously) scared away.
After stopping for ice cream in downtown Morrison, we headed off to Dinosaur Ridge. We did the 2.5 mile hike up the ridge to see the dinosaur tracks, sandstone formations, and bone quarry. We were a bit let down (not sure what we really had expected), but the girls enjoyed the extra bit of walking.
