HIKING BIG BLUESTEM LOOP - Boulder, Colorado’s South Mesa Trail

One of my favorite things about Denver is that I don’t have to travel far to get away from the city.

    Thanks, Beth. Since I started carrying the video camera, I’ve taken much more care to look for the birds doing all that lovely singing. It slows me down a bit, but it’s fun.
