Red Rocks National Conservation Park

Hiked an 8 mile trail--white rock and la madre spring loop--took us 5 hours (while the hike was rated "moderate" and should take 4.25 hrs)! I definitely don't have as much stamina as I thought lol, the end of the hike was very difficult... and we had to drink a white claw just to get through to the end.... There were some great sceneries and amazing desert plans on the way, but I would say half of it is just ok so overall prob not worth the loop. The to and back section to La Madre springs was a grueling uphill, and the stream was underwhelming. The area was very windy so it felt kind of cold at 40F. Also we were disappointed that we didn't see any big horn sheep :/ (saw a lot of their poops though).

After getting back we ate Thai takeout and Abby did her chemistry final.

Overall, still had a lot of fun though!Leggi altro
