Into the Mountains




I've made my way out of the grasslands and into higher elevation! I had a beautiful transect this morning just outside of Golden (home of Coors) on Lookout Mountain. The name made me feel like there should be some "See Ruby Falls" signs around, but I didn't see any. What I did see was some beautiful views and a whole new community of birds. And a lot of woody plants I couldn't identify, although poring over my field guide helped. Also, the steep winding road heading up the mountain seems to be a mecca for cyclists and there was even a paraglider taking off and circling his way over the city. Pretty sweet for a morning at the office!
