Elevation’s strayed daughter
Devotedly arrives home
Following cloudy pleas
Fiercest welcome, beckoning
Wilderness claims her willingly
A foggy, earthy morning
Whispers her name adoringly

I just read this one again and realized it’s outside of Boulder – where I’m headed on Saturday! Will be visiting my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson – YAY! I’ll have to ask them about this trail. Such beauty.

No way! Oh Shari, if you can, find the Hessie Trail. It is located up Boulder Canyon and outside the small village of Eldora. I grew up staying in a family cabin there with my grandparents during the summer. My great greats worked the Hessie Trail bringing logs and rock town that mountain for generations. My great grandfather a local physician in Boulder. Have a wonderful time!!! Yay! Please let me know if you go, even just for the drive. There is a breathtaking waterfall in Boulder Canyon you can’t miss.

Audrey, thank you for the insider’s tip. I’ll definitely suggest this as an outing. We’ll have an 8-month old with us so most likely will be a road trip at this point. Love waterfalls, this sounds like a great idea.
My dad was a physician as well. I’ll have to sleuth for evidence of a red haired doc who once healed cowboys and inspired young poets! Heh heh heh
