Red Rocks Canyon Hike in January

Today was in the 60's and it's supposed to get cold again on Monday so we took off for a hike. Shorts and t-shirts! Arn and I hiked about 3 miles in Red Rock Canyon Park which is just south of the Garden of the Gods. It's a beautiful red rock fin area where there has been lots of quarry work done for areas around Colorado. We took the trail less traveled (considered advanced but not that hard ) to try to avoid the crowds. There were people everywhere since the weather was so nice. We stopped at Amanda Fonda's and had an al fresco lunch creekside. They have the best quacamole. Hopefully with the weather change we'll get loads of snow so that we can use our cross country skis. (Didn't have my camera so the pics are off the net...obviously not the correct season).
