Horsetooth Mountain Open Space - Falls Trail
Horsetooth Mountain Open Space outside of Fort Collins is a good place for families to hike. We take the Horsetooth Falls trail. It’s a 2.25 mile hike (round trip) that leads to some falls, rocks for scrambling on and a small/cave overhang. The falls does slow down to a trickle in late summer/fall. The trail has lots of fun ups and downs and crosses a creek.

Beware of company when climbing Mount Powell
Ran into company while climbing Mount Powell the highest mountain in the Gore Range at 13,560 feet. I was on a ledge taking some pictures and heard some foot steps. I turned around expecting to see some fellow hikers but a herd of wild goats was curious. I wasn’t sure of their intentions so I avoided them as much as possible. This delayed things a little but after a while they left me alone for the most part.

Eccles Pass (Meadow Creek) hike
We hiked this pass yesterday. Though it is slightly longer than 9 miles round trip it is highly recommended. After about 3-3.5 miles you find yourself in a beautiful alpine meadow with panoramic views all around. An abundance of green is evident because there are no stands of lodgepole pines decimated by the bark beetle and there is still plenty of melting snow to nourish the vegetation.
