Castlewood Canyon

We discovered that in Colorado there are a lot of state parks to enjoy. We love being outdoors and so on Sat. the 11th we decided to check out one of them near Castlerock. It was a very windy day and the hike starts out pretty high. As we hiked down into the canyon the wind went away.


The boys loved it. There were lots of big rocks and logs to climb on and they just could not help themselves. Hayden had to jump off and climb almost anything he could find.(I wonder who he got that from? DAD!!!)
Cherry creek ran through the canyon so there was water next to us. It was really nice!
Alyssa tripped and fell at the beginning of the hike which hurt her knee. So the rest of the hike she was very precocious. The rocks laying together would sometimes make little caves and the kids kept asking if we would see any bears.
We had a great time and we are excited to try out another park soon.
