Beautiful Barn on Parker Road Colorado


I love this barn.  Its so beautiful with the windmills and the mountains in the background.  I took this picture a while back when we went to Castlewood Canyon. 


The picture is a little bit difficult to get from the highway.  We pulled off the road, and I hiked up the hill to take the shot.

Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge

Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge is a great place for flat ground hiking. 

Sometimes it can be difficult to navigate toddlers and strollers on more difficult trails. 


This place is great for the little people.


The boardwalk adds an extra measure of fascination.

I love how this barn sits back nestled up against the hillside.  It's located in Castlewood Canyon State Park  on a charming little ranch.

Poudre Valley Canyon is a Beautiful Daytrip to take from Denver. 


We stopped at Arrowhead Lodge Visitor Center, and were delighted at the wealth of information they had to offer.


We enjoyed seeing their humming birds.
