Tuesday, July 30: Roxborough State Park

A couple of weeks ago, we also went on a hike to Roxborough state park. It was before the smoke from the fires was too bad, luckily, though the second of the big three had just started that morning.
It was hot, but not horribly, and it was a nice day for a hike! It was also nice to get out and Do Things two days in a row.
The most exciting thing we saw:
A prairie rattlesnake! :D
I was also excited to see acazador tarantula hawk wasp. I've seen them several times, but rarely in Colorado.
Isn't she pretty?
( Twelve more pictures below the cut: )
It was definitely a nice day, and I was really glad that we got out. It turned out to be even better that we had, because this was the last somewhat clear day before the smoke got much worse. (It was late that night that the closer fire started, and the two farther north got steadily worse for a while.)
