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. Stats

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