Horsetooth Mountain Park, CO
One should not visit Fort Collins, Colorado for the first time without visiting those jewels to the west, the Horsetooth Mountain Park and its adjacent Horsetooth Reservoir. So when Kathrin and Guy came over during the weekend from Chicago, we did an afternoon hike on the Soderberg trail through lush forests packed with Douglas Fir and evergreen pine, stunning vistas of the reservoir and the red rock outcropping above, and green hills with homes embedded in their sides that inspired Kat to proclaim, “it looks just like Switzerland!”
Never mind that the Horsetooth Falls off of the Soderberg trail turned out to be more like a “water drip” than a waterfall; this was a wonderful hike. More photos are here.
