to Denver Canyon

A morning walk with Julia and Norbert up the road from their house, into the forest meadow where Rayan was grazing the goats (and 'studying' for his Math 11 exam).  Vicky with her three: Zoe, Zebra and Z…?  Xiao Xiao with her two: Zeal and Zack (three males, two females in all.)  They do all look similar, though I am sure the goat-lovers in the family (when they get here) will have no trouble telling them apart!




Rayan had to hold onto Vicky's rope to keep them from following us (Norbert) along the path.  Up Carpenter Creek, through patches of twin-flower on the forest floor, through piles of boulders that have slid down from the cliff above (more to come), and past some reportedly-good fishing spots (Diana?).  This 'lower Galena trail' ends in the spectacular Denver Canyon, where there are still concrete remnants on the vertical rock-face of a flume for Uncle Sandy's hydro project.  Who could have worked up there?
a Denver Canyon mermaid (Julia) ...
… and forest gnome (Norbert)
