Yesterday we went to hike in the local park. The first part of the hike is through a dried out meadow. We saw a bone in the meadow in which dad thought it was probably the bone of an elk attacked by a mountain lion. There were a lot of places of to the side which looked good for bouldering but we couldn't take any side trips because dad had to go to work in about 2 hours so it had to be a fast hike. The next part of it was a snowy forest up in the mountains which all of us put together fell about 5 times because it was really icy. We could also slide about 5 feet which was fun. The whole time we thought it was a perfect place for mountain biking, but in the icy parts it looked just about impossible to get through. The next part of the hike was up on the mountains, but out in the open so there wasn't much snow. It looked awesome for mountain biking. It had an amazing view of the town and the mountains in the background. We then went back into the meadow and proceeded to go back to our car. This blog is relatively short because the hike was only about 3 miles and nothing happened after that. There's a trail that goes to the very top of the mountain which would be an awesome view but that would be more of a day hike. On our way back we saw a group of elk. They looked a lot like deer except their necks were a lot fuzzier. I don't think there's any deer in Colorado but there are tons of elk.
