there's more to the gates than meets the eye...

time flys when you're having fun...it's been 10 days at the "Gates" and we have really enjoyed this gig so far; we check in a few rafters, do a little CG (campground) maintenance and are working on a special project...restoreing the trail posts on our namesake trail.

and when our day is done, we get to explore the park...here are a few pic's from our hike to the ridge at the gates:

desert juniper

love lichen

joey doing his best John Powell impression

cool old fence

natural stairs

colorado has chubby robins

this shot was tougher than it looks to get ;-)

hurry...quick
