"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity..." --John Muir, 1898

Hike: Cheesman Canyon


Apparently locally famous for its gold-medal waters, the South Platte River winds through Cheesman Canyon, a mecca for fly fishermen. They were out in spades on this beautiful, 70+ degree November day. I went for a 8-9 mile "spontaneous" hike there on saturday morning, having seen the trailhead from Highway 67 about an hour out of Woodland Park. Can you hear the tires squealing and the brakes slamming when I saw the sign?
