Yesterday, after I returned home from work and we consumed dinner, Garrison asked me if we could take a walk through the "nature park". The "nature park" is what my boys call the Bear Creek Green Belt that is across the street from our house. I said yes and we headed out. The boys took along the walking sticks that they made in Durango, because what is a hike without a walking stick? We went to an area we've never been to before that is across another street from where we normally go. At first, it was just a straight dirt road, but then a trail veered off to the left, which led us to a heavy forested area, some small ponds, and some very secluded areas. I could hear Bear Creek babbling in the distance, but we couldn't get to it before it got too dark to continue exploring. We plan to go back and explore some more, when we've got a little more daylight. It was neat to explore this area that we've never been to before. There were far less people here and it was quiet. We saw lots of animal scat that the boys kept stopping to analyze and guess what it was from. I'm thinking coyotes. When we were returning back home, I took this picture of the sunset. It was pretty and I couldn't resist snapping a shot with my camera phone.
