With my right hamstring bothering me and sore from intense workouts Monday and Tuesday, I decided I was going to power walk or hike. If we finished our shoot early enough, I was going to head over the the Matthews-Winters trail in Red Rocks. But since it was a little after noon and knowing I had a tons of stuff to get done this afternoon, I decided on the power walk at Dinosaur Ridge. That decision was also made shortly after I saw a snake slithering by on the trail as we headed up Dakota Ridge trail a bit to shoot something. It was a bull snake, which keep rattlesnakes away...but still I'm not a fan of snakes!
From the gate to the bone site on the other side of ridge is 1.5 miles. So off I went, power walking my way up the gradual incline of the ridge and over to the other side. I actually went beyond the bone site to the other gate to get in a little more mileage. Which meant I probably did closer to 3.5-4 miles.
On the way to my turn around point I really enjoyed watching the clouds roll in over the Foothills.
On the way back the view of the clouds coming in over Red Rocks was just spectacular. Definitely a right decision to workout, clear my head, and really enjoy a cool place.
