Trips
A short hike on a warm and tired day to gaze off into the possibilities of future hikes...
New hike with my friend Rob...nice December afternoon.
This is the real deal. Most mines one finds while hiking are dark pits, but this is a specacular house-sized inclusion of rose quartz within an inclusion of lava within the red sandstones characteristic of the Colorado National Monument. And within the quartz are sheets of mica, or at least what is left after the really good stuff was carved out. Go see it and take your camera.
Took the family down for the day. Had a great time but didn't back enough water for all of them.
