Poudre Valley River-Wading

Poudre Valley River Canyon is the perfect place to take an afternoon drive. Hiking is great, but when I can take it all in from the front seat of my car. Even better!




We found a great place to get out and play in the water.

{This is my skywatch picture this week.}


I love snapping pictures of rustic little cabins.


The scenery is spectacular.


Those who choose to can experience the water up close.


There are even a few rapids.


Day drives are such a nice way to experience nature.

  7. I have a friend who lives in Vail and her boyfriend is in Frisco. She is always taking amazing pictures like you did. I really need to go visit her in CO soon. I think I'll wait until summer as I wouldn't have a clue how to deal with snow being from South Louisiana. :)
