We stayed our full 14 day limit at this beautifull spot. Our usual daily pattern was a morning walk followed by watching the storms build in the afternoon.
  The road dipped onto a gully to cross a small stream then continued up. A few of the wild flowers seen in the meadows.  Indian Paintbrush  Plains Prickly Pear blooming  Pinewoods Geranium & Shrubby Cinquefoil ***  ***  Interesting cloud formation. ***  An abundance of hummingbirds kept us busy supplying home-made nectar. *** We had a short walk around downtown Salida. Would like to have spent more time but the rain chased us off.    Arkansas river flows through Riverside park at the edge of downtown.  *** Day trip to Hecla Junction and the Arkansas River Trail in Browns Canyon National Mounment.      Joan in her "HAPPY PLACE"! Love the sound of water flowing over the rocks.   *** |
There was one more heavy rain (no hail) followed by a spectacular sunset. Shavano is definitely on our list of places to return. |
