I’ve visited the Red Rocks Trail in Boulder often to either paint or just hang out. It’s a fun trail to get to, a little hard to find parking in the summer.
I liked taking photos on this overcast day, the colors of the rocks stand out when the sky is gray.
Every now and then I paint here, it’s very fun because the shapes of the rocks are so different. I’ve really liked every painting I’ve made at this trail or from sketches that I brought back to my studio.
I visited Red Rocks in the winter recently because I’d never been up there with the snow! It was totally deserted and very beautiful. For once, the trailhead parking lot was empty - probably because it was about 5 degrees out.
It was a little difficult to get up on the rocks, I wouldn’t recommend this hike in the winter without studded shoes. It was also easier to get up the rocks than go down - definitely a beautiful place to go and good to be careful.
