Photo Friday: Red Rocks

In an effort to burn off a few of the beer calories we consumed in Denver, Chrissy and I decided to hike through Red Rocks Park. The park is home to an amphitheatre where bands perform, but it's also used by locals as a place to hike, bike and jog.
According to the website, the full hike through the park takes about two hours. We lost the path and ended up on the road a few times, so we only did a small portion over about 45 minutes. It had rained a lot that weekend and parts of the path were muddy - my suede flats weren't the best footwear choice, but we still enjoyed the scenery.
We wandered the paths, made sure to stay off the rocks (!),marveled at the unique rock formations - including this one that looked like a turtle face to me - and just enjoyed the monumental beauty of the park.

what lovely photos! What a lovely shade of red / rust! But a $999 fine? Can I stay in jail for 179 days instead?
