Collared Lizard Day

 I went to the Colorado NM and went on the Monument Canyon to Wedding Canyon loop. Many lizards out today for some reason. I saw three Collared Lizards during the hike and numerous other types. 

Colorado River Fish

 I was riding my bike today along the Riverfront Bike Trail and saw a fisheries truck backed up at the ramp. I went down to have a look. The Grand Valley Fish and Wildlife people were releasing 850 Razorback Sucker fish into the river. Nice people who told me about the four native species of Colorado fish and told me about the hatcheries and ponds where the fish stay for 1.5 years to grow. Behind the Snooks Bottom trail is one of the ponds. Unexpected learning experience while biking!

The four native species: Razorback Sucker, Colorado Pikeminnow, Bonytail, Humpback Chub.

Spring Continues

 McInnis Canyons. Still Spring and a lot of flowers out. D7 to F1 to D4. I have been on these trails before but connected them together in a different loop today.

Holly thinks this is a Colorado Four O'clock:

Colorado National Monument

 Devils Kitchen and Echo Canyon today. Both repeat hikes but worth repeating many times! I explored a little further beyond Devils Kitchen today. Went back into the canyon which is interesting. Some water in Echo Canyon and also a 3-4 foot long snake. Western Garter Snake?
