Miller Rock


Phillip, who moved to Texas a year or so ago, is in town visiting and wishing to get out to the mountain trails. Matt recommended a favorite trail of his - Miller Rock. It offers some reasonable challenge in spots along with good Colorado scenery. Weather was generally quite enjoyable with "almost top down" temps. Mixed cloud cover for much of the day which provided some nice pictures.

There was a bit of a ledge at either side of the creek. The creek wasn't overly high.
