Colorado Kimmie

 The State of Colorado boasts 42 state parks, and one in particular being Rattlesnake Gulch.  I can’t wait to visit more!  Located in Boulder, Colorado, this hike is really a magical experience that takes you back in time - literally millions of years.  Maybe you’ll even get lucky and see all these guys: raptors, mountain goat, rattlesnakes, deer, + dragonflies.  The peak gives clear views of the Continental Divide (the geographic point where rain either goes to the Pacific or Atlantic - basically, where water divides 50/50).  And, there's even the semi-spooky remains of burned down hotel at the top. So, $10 gets you in the park + parking and use of all restroom facilities and hiking.  I think it's $80 to get the pass to all 42 state parks.  Either way, this little adventure is, at a minimum, $10.  Bring water, a snack, sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses “sunnies” if you're me (always), and your camera (phone)...
