Born in Boulder, went to CU Boulder, visited grandparents in Boulder on weekends for decades, a best friend lives in Boulder. How could I never have heard about Rabbit Mountain Open Space? Just NE of Lyons! Wonderful Lumper hike last Thursday. Thanks Sigrid!!! Stunning views of the Rockies, including Longs Peak tucked behind Mount Meeker (sometimes referred to as the “twin peaks” not to be confused with the “twin sisters” also in the range). Beautiful bird song accompanied our walk, but was drowned out near the end by an airplane doing dare-devil climbs, stalls, and nose dives straight down. Fascinating at first, then annoying as he repeated this over and over and disturbed our quiet conversation with nature. Afterward, yummy birthday cake provided by Polly Cox and great coffee at The Stone Cup in Lyons, a Lumper favorite. |
