Gallery | Climbing | Anniversary Weekend in Colorado Springs: September 27-28, 2008

For our 5 year anniversary, Mark and I spent the weekend climbing at Red Rocks Canyon, and hiking Cheyenne Canyon in Colorado Springs.

Piles and piles of mushrooms at the base of this tree
Our first three climbs - the Whale's Tale
Looking out at Red Rocks Canyon from the top of the Whale
Looking down 100ft to the base of the fun 5.9
Is it establishing routes or big rock graffitti?

Chyenne mountain - oh what amazing secretes do you hold?
Pretty fall colors in the southern mountains
We definately did not touch the water
Helen Hunt Falls - $18 dollars cheeper than the others!
