Exploring Colorado Nature

What is there to say about Colorado nature that hasn't been already said?  Poet Walt Whitman, President Theodore Roosevelt, Lao Tzu, several bloggers, artist, and aspiring writers all lend their craft of word and hand towards the beautiful mountains, streams, forests, and wildlife of Colorado.

As we drove up and down the mountainside, we were awed by the general splendor and majesticness of the wild.  It was if mankind had yet to touch the naked land and yet, log cabins and RV Parks spotted the countryside reminding us that there is nothing man has yet to put it's mark on.

Colorado seemed to draw out the adventurers in us and despite the usual planning of a vacation we decided to hop in the truck and leave the day to exploring and well, getting lost.  One particular site that we found was called "Cottonwood Pass."  We drove for what seemed like forever up and down the winding roads. Finally, we were half way up this rugged mountain when a lake appeared.  It was so calm, peaceful, and quite, that all we could do is stare in silence with only the "jumping fish" breaking the sound barrier.

We leave you with the following quote: 

"I swear to you, there are divine things more beautiful than words can tell"~Walt Whitman
