Life in Boulder 2 (Rocky Mountain & Mt. Huron)
Boulder is located at the base of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 5430 feet (~1655m). Besides I have a friend here who can drive and also love outdoor activities. Therefore I climb one mountain at every weekend.
These photos consist of 4 parts:
1. Gregory canyon (No. 01 ~ 05)
2. Rocky Mountain National Park (No. 06 ~ 21)
3. Climb the 14er – Mt. Huron (No. 22 ~ 39)
