Cache La Poudre River Canyon, Estes Park, Ft Collins, CO

Last week, in addition to visiting numerous breweries in the Ft. Collins/Loveland area of Colorado, we did manage to get in a couple of hikes.  We have been up to Estes before and it is always stunning up there of course.  We had not been to the Cache la Poudre River Canyon, another beautiful scenic area.  We must go back there next time as time and the rain were not on our side this visit.
