Mt. Audubon

Quick 1 min highlight video of Mt. Audubon.

The trail starts at the Beaver Creek Trailhead at the north end of the parking lot. The first third of the trail is mainly in the trees and ascends very gradually. At this time of year, we saw several types of wildflowers blooming, including Indian Paintbrush and Columbines. As you get to treeline. . . (more)

Into The Wild

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;

There is a rapture on the lonely shore;

There is society, where none intrudes,

By the deep sea, and music in its roar:

I love not man the less, but Nature more. . .

Hell's Hole & Garden of the Gods

Hell's Hole is actually a trail head near Mt. Evans where we decided to explore the changing leaves. The colors were amazing especially because of the light rain that seemed to sprinkle saturation on the fall setting. The second part of this video was shot at the Garden of the Gods near Colorado Springs. This half of the video became emotional for me because my grandfather played his piano at this location many years ago for a Easter Service. The piano in this piece matched with these images of these great monuments is my humble tribute to his creativity and his life of service and inspiration even after many years of his passing. I wanted to get there early for sunrise and I am glad I did.
