A bench in Moraine - Rocky Mountain mational park

Rocky Mountain National Park is located in the north-central region of the U.S. state of Colorado. It features majestic mountain views, a variety of wildlife, varied climates and environments—from wooded forests to mountain tundra—and easy access to back-country trails and campsites. The park is located northwest of Boulder, Colorado in the Rockies, and includes the Continental Divide and the headwaters of the Colorado River.The park contains 359 miles (578 km) of trails, 150 lakes, and 450 miles (720 km) of streams. The park contains over 60 named peaks higher than 12,000 feet (3,700 m), and over one fourth of the park resides above tree line. The highest point of the park is Longs Peak, which rises to 14,259 feet (4,346 m; surveys before 2002 show 14,255 feet (4,345 m) The lowest elevations in the park are montane forests and grassland. The ponderosa pine, which prefers drier areas, dominates, though at higher elevations douglas fir trees are found. Above 9,000 feet (2,700 m) the montane forests give way to the subalpine forest. Engelmann Spruce and Subalpine Fir trees are common in this zone. These forests tend to have more moisture than the montane and tend to be denser. Above tree line, at approximately 11,500 feet (3,500 m), trees disappear and the vast alpine tundra takes over. Due to harsh winds and weather, the plants in the tundra are short with very limited growing seasons. Streams have created lush riparian wetlands across the park.

2009/265/279 Have Bowl, Need Dog

Yes, sadly, I remain dogless. It's not for lack of desire for canine company; it's that my schedule keeps getting more filled with travel that make it feel unfair to take in a dog and then be boarding him/her 50% of the time. It's hard to avoid the pleas from the Humane Society shelter in Payson, the stories of good dogs needing homes in the local papers, and the bulletin board photos outside the Ponderosa Market. But maybe its time to get more creative, or start saying "no" to travel, and get my priorities in order. How can the "CogDog" have no Dog? I would be just a Cog, and at that, I am not biking all that much, so then you can just call me ""!. Yes, sadly, I remain dogless.

Arizona Trail: Anderson Mesa AZT-30

Ascending to the top of Anderson Mesa from Marshall Lake through a shady section of oak and ponderosa pine. The Arizona National Scenic Trail Anderson Mesa Passage (AZT-30) traverses Anderson Mesa in the Lake Mary area southeast of Flagstaff. The passage begins northwest of Mormon Lake, crosses Lake Mary Road near Pinegrove Campground, and ascends Anderson Mesa, passing near several small wetlands on its way to Marshall Lake, the most well-known of these magical and important wildlife habitats. Between Vail and Prime Lakes, the trail skirts around observatory facilities to the edge of the mesa, providing a stunning panoramic view of Lake Mary. On Coconino National Forest maps, the Arizona Trail is labeled as trail number 87 for its entire traversal of the Forest. This photo was taken in August 2017 by Deborah Lee Soltesz during a day hike from Marshall Lake to a point just west of Vail Lake. Credit: U.S. Forest Service Coconino National Forest.
