Hike: Water

I went for a hike after church yesterday up Catamount Creek just five minutes from my house. I had been there before, at least on the first half of it, but instead of going all the way to Catamount Reservoir, I turned around near the the top. Just past the Garden of Eden Meadow, I found a "side" trail, unmarked. I took it out of curiousity through the trees and discovered it followed Catamount Creek as it fell steeply through a narrow, deep, dark canyon of pine, towering rock, turning leaves, waterfalls, and half-light. It was as if I'd left a sunny Colorado afternoon and entered a magical autumn evening. I hope you enjoy a few of these glimpses.
