This is our time at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge in Denver. This place was literally a former chemical weapons arsenal during WWII and the Cold War. After Vietnam they shut it down and turned it back over to the government and it underwent a 15 year clean up process and is now home to a bucket load of rabbits, prairie dogs, deer, bison and hundreds of species of birds. It was a really neat place. I highly recommend it if you're ever in the area. The visitors center staff were incredibly helpful and even asked us to return after our tour to see the pictures.
The other pictures are from our afternoon in Nederland. It's a super wacky little town in the mountains. They even have an annual Frozen Dead Guy festival....you should research it, it's fascinating. There is a beautiful lake and damn there as well as a small little town with lots of neat places to shop and eat.
