This afternoon we headed to Red Rocks Park for a short hike to appreciate the Fall Colors and the great day’s weather. As we climbed up the trail, we met several cyclists on mountain bikes, making their way either up or down the trail.

As we headed back to the car, the full moon was rising in the east. Unfortunately, I did not make a decent image of the moon rise.<\/p>\n
