When I woke up this morning, I had a hankering for hiking so my first thought was...Calypso Cascades. I googled it to find out where it might be located...because back when I was twelve, I only remember being there...not actually getting there. So we took our directions, geared up, and headed out. Here's where we ended up:
Nice, right? Nice, but unfortunately, not Calypso Cascades. This is actually Boulder Falls. Apparently, I should have printed a little more detailed directions before attempting to find the old Cascades. We drove and drove and drove and finally gave up & stopped there. But...whatever. It was a lovely drive up Boulder Canyon & watching rock climbers and taking the short hike to eat granola bars by the falls satisfied my mountain-yearning. But excuse me, now I must go google Calypso Cascades...again!!!

Great photos. I love the leopard (?) twins.
Wow how totally fun!
It might be a little snowy but the road to to Wild Basin trailhead might be closed (adding a mile to the hike). Could always call RMNP and find out.

yah-I noticed that in my second research attempt...maybe a good thing we didn't get there. And Boulder Canyon was closed today because of a rock slide at Boulder Falls!! What timing!
