Day 2 of camping and we decided to go for a few hikes. Our camp site is at 8000 ft. above sea level so we headed even higher to take a look at a water fall near Nathrop, Colorado at about 9,200 ft. It is a beautiful area, our road cut right thru the pass of 2 mountains. We took a short hike up to the Falls. It was a cool hike with some informative signs on the way explaining the wildlife of the area as well as some of the history of the falls. We both were rather sad that we didn't pay more attention in science class as we would love to know more about the geology of the area. "Wow look at that rock! What kind of rock is it? I don't know a rock?" We then headed back to the car to move out to our next hike!
