White Ranch Park

Given the price of gas, we were thrilled to discover White Ranch Park, just 20 minutes from home. From it, we could see downtown Denver (below), and, with binoculars, the distinctive roof of the Denver International Airport, which is about 35 miles away.

And it wasn't all about the panoramic views. Recent rains finally brought out a dizzing array of wildflowers.






High above the ranches in the foothills, a lone white horse grazed, like a creature from a fairy tale.

Lovely pictures, and the horse up there by itself does have a dreamy quality.

Now that you are on this side of the country, consider a spring trip to Death Valley. It is uniquely varied and interesting, and the spring flowers are spectacular. Years ago, I camped up in the mountains close to the snow and all the views were breathtaking. I am sure you would love it.
