I live in Golden, CO which is a small town just West of downtown Denver. As you can imagine, some of the best things about living in my town are the beautiful views, hiking opportunities and the wildlife I see nearly every day I am lucky enough to be home. Here area a few of my favorites!
I am looking forward to seeing where my fellow bloggers live via the WordPress Phoneography Challenge!
This is a hiking/trail running trail called Mt. Galbraith – it’s a great 5 mile (ish) balloon loop that is 5 minutes from my house and is one of my local faves. The views of Golden are amazing from this trail!
This second image is of a summer day sunrise. I can’t believe I was actually up this early to capture this from our deck!
We also have a very large herd of elk (about 70) who pass by our front yard at least 50 days, if not more, a year. They are the reason I love Golden so much. Here is an image of some of them resting in a meadow near our house. There has to be a Far Side caption to describe this scene! lol.
Just love this! I’ll be in the Denver area late september/beginning of October to go hiking (some of those 14ers we talked about!) and discover more scenic places as the ones on your pictures! those are gorgeous again! I can’t wait!
Nice! If you have any free time at all – we should grab Lexi and have coffee!
It would be awesome! I’ll be there on my free time (!!!) if you have any, we could also go hiking together! 😉
We are IN! Keep us posted!
will do! 😀

Do you go elk hunting?
I don’t, but it would be like shooting fish in a barrel in my hood! Lol
amused by your elk visitors!
I have the greatest image of them in the snow but can’t seem to find it! If I do will drop u a note! They are incredible!
