Wed 6/5 @7am Landscape SIG Outing to Roxborough State Park
The Landscape SIG outing to Roxborough State Park, SW of Denver is scheduled for Wednesday, June 5, 2019. We will carpool from the NW Harmony Park and Ride at 7:00 a.m. The drive down should take about 1hr and 30 min., depending on traffic. We could hike one or two of the trails in the park and take photos until about 12:30 p.m. I would suggest the Willow Creek Trail (1.4 miles) for birds and the Fountain Valley Trail (2.3 miles) for the rock formations and ruins of an old estate, or just the second one if we want to concentrate on the landscapes. A good description of the park and these and other trails in the park can be found at https://dayhikesneardenver.com/roxborough-state-park-hiking-trails/. We plan stop on the way home for lunch. One suggested place on the above web page is the Waterton Tavern in Littleton, not far from the park. By 2:00 p.m. we should be on our way back to the Harmony Park and Ride, arriving about 3:30 p.m. depending on traffic. Please email Frank Ethridge (franke129@msn.com) or Deborah Cowan (cowandesign27@gmail.com), if you plan to attend and would like to carpool from the Harmony Park and Ride so we will not leave anyone behind.

The Goats can be anywhere from a few feet away to a hundred yards or more. I generally have two lenses to cover anywhere from 24mm to 400mm. For carpooling we will be meeting at the Harmony Rd Trans.
