Another #WaterfallWednesday and another capture from Rifle Falls State Park (Colorado). This time, we take a closer look at the base of one of the falls. The water at the triple falls comes crashing down 70 feet and at the eastern fall, crashes into this large bunch of rocks right off the trail. On this […]

Snow will soon be flying again and temperatures plunging making it inhospitable to man. For the mountain goats though, they are […]
