Cinnamon air and a hike to Boulder Falls

There is a song about Cali that says "where the good things are free and everybody's smiling.." I believe it more pertains to the canyons of the Rockies.  Everyone drives a Subaru, smiles and gives Peace signs as they drive by.











Woke up refreshed after a recovery day to Mountain Huckleberry tea and hot oatmeal with walnuts.  Note to self- no matter if you are in the Rocky Mountains with chilly nights, noon is never a great time (heat wise) to begin a hike.

I remember always passing this waterfall section of route 119 when driving up to Nederland.  Decided to find it on foot.

This place is definitely a great and easy place to hitchhike but that would defeat the purpose of the walk:) -which was longer than expected, a few miles up the mountain, but with fresh mountain air that smelled like cinnamon and butterflies everywhere...and the falls, it was absolutely worth it.

Had a breather at the falls, some water and a banana, then made it back to the cabin. Because Boston now believes he is a mountain dog, we go down to the river daily so he can explore...did the daily exploring...taking a long shower, listening to Michael Franti, and enjoying just being.  Happy Wednesday.
