September 11, 2013Steve & I are on another Lazy Daze motor home trip. The plan was to spend a week in Creede and Lake City, Colorado. After watching the weather and seeing how much rain was predicted for the beginning of the week, we decided to change our destination.
We are staying at Elk Creek Campground on Blue Mesa Reservoir! Great campground and we have Loop A all to ourselves!
Today, we decided to hike the Curecanti Creek trail. Definitely, a great choice! We were the only ones on the trail. The trail goes down 800 feet and eventually meets Morrow Point Reservoir. Beautiful trail, green moss on the rocks, two bridges to cross the creek, waterfalls, bushes covered with rose hips.
Steve is really starting to take many of the photos with the camera. I take lots of pictures with my iPhone ~ Instagram. I have been posting many of those pictures on Facebook.
The only mishap on the trail is when I "propped" my hiking poles on the bridge and one of them proceeded to fall off the bridge down into the creek. It was quite the adventure climbing down "carefully" to the creek to rescue my pole. All turned out well and we hiked on down. We then got caught in quite the downpour. Then the sun came out and Steve got some great photos of the rain running off all the rocks.
Lovely day/lovely hike!
After the hike, we spent time at the trailhead, totally enjoying the incredible views.
