Hiking up above Palmer Lake

Last week before the snow storm we took a hike about 10 min. from our house.  We went up to the 1st Res., took a right turn up 'Killer Hill', and came down thru 'Rocky Canyon'.  It was a good 4 mi. hike even though we thought we were going somewhere else.  The rock formations are beautiful and snow and ice were still on the creeks. We've already got another route mapped out which will head up to 'Rock Dome'.
