It was miserably cold and windy in Denver. Erin and I wanted to feel some sunshine, so we drove to the end of segment 1 of the Colorado Trail and hiked back towards Denver. We had her dog, Sappho, with us, so we went for as long as the dog wanted and then turned around. Which turns out to be about 10 miles total.
Some parts of the trail were dusted with snow and we could see various animal prints. Other dogs, humans, some kind of mouse/rat, and rabbit. Everybody loves the Colorado Trail!
