On our second day of snowshoeing, we decided to explore a "real" trail. This trail starts at Columbine Campground and is located about 8 miles west of Red River on State Highway 38. It is about 8 miles long and follows Columbine Creek. We crossed 4-5 picturesque Japanese-looking bridges. Above is a view of the sparking clear water and ice formations we encountered all along the trail.
We made it in about 2-2.5 miles when we decided to stop for lunch. Geoff and Patty enjoying sandwiches made with Marlin's New Year's Day southern BBQ'd chicken. As you can see, no need for gloves. It was a warm, comfortable day with exceptional scenery. In indian file, Geoff, Marlin, Jim, Katy and Patty.
Most of us took a tumble at some point. Here is Geoff taking a turn.
