Yesterday I was invited to help ride horses with Avalanche Outfitters at Redstone Stables. What a beautiful ride! With snow still on the mountains and the bluest Colorado sky you can imagine we rode past spring run-off waterfalls cascading into Coal Creek up through pine and aspen forests to stunning alpine meadows with spectacular views. These meadows will soon be full of wildflowers. Right now we are riding through the run-off that will make these flowers flourish. As we came to the snow line the horses were past knee-deep in the snow and willing to keep going but we turned around as we have kids coming home from school… I wish I had photos to share but I had left my phone in the car – just trust that the views were more breathtaking than I can describe.
