| Andy drove Matt and I up the canyon |
 |
| down the gang plank |
 |
| alcohol & swimming & cliff jumping don't mix |
 |
| This is where the hike begins |
 |
| one bridge to cross |
 |
| last look of the Poudre |
 |
| pretty wild flowers |
 |
| we didn't see any rattlers |
 |
| up the road and out into the sticks |
 |
| didn't have to climb that thing. |
 |
| this way |
 |
| finally the DAM |
 |
| hoofin it up the dam elevation |
 |
| saw a few kids jumping down there.. |
 |
| but we wanted the real cliff! |
 |
| saw some bikes stashed way up on the trail. andy knew the dudes |
 |
| and then we were there! |
 |
| Matt scopes the high point |
 |
| then he flipped off it |
 |
| I chose the lower ledge for the backflip |
 |
| my top rope front flip started out looking good |
 |
| but soon turned not so pretty |
 |
| after the long hike in, the water felt great! |
 |
| I was curious how fast I could swim out to the island |
 |
| at first I thought 10 mins, but soon revised that to 5 mins |
 |
| turns out it only took 2 mins 15 secs |
 |
| drying off and prepping for the hike out |
 |
| all the flips blew out my swim trucks...... |
 |
| part of the area burned last year |
 |
| almost back to the dam |
 |
| saw this bull snake back in Gateway Park |
thanks for taking us ANDY... it was a day to remember!
