Clay Goforth Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 So, last year I was fortunate to be in a position to travel for work quite a bit and got to spend a considerable amount of time in Colorado Springs, which is one of the most beautiful cities in America. I was also able to take a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park and this is just a consolidation of those two trips. They aren't necessarily fishing photos, but they are "outdoorsy" in nature so I thought you might enjoy.

ness Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Nice. I recognize some of those RMNP spots. Were you out there before the flood? John
Clay Goforth Posted March 26, 2014 Author Posted March 26, 2014 Nice. I recognize some of those RMNP spots. Were you out there before the flood? Thank you. A week and a half before the flood...We had some crazy weather when we were there. The day we left, it started out at about 68 degrees and we hiked some small trails since we needed to leave by noon or so. All of the sudden, the temperature dropped and we were in the middle of the one of the most torrential rain/hail storms I have seen. Apparently, it never stopped raining after we left.

Tim Smith Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Thank you. A week and a half before the flood...We had some crazy weather when we were there.

I visited there soon after the flood. Lily Lake was still chocolate milk last fall, but the Big Thompson looked fine. Estes Park took a hit during the flood. Minus the scouring in the golf course things seem to be back to normal there. If you haven't seen houses moved off their foundations or cars covered in heaps of boulders, be sure and drive up Highway 36 when you come visit. I'll be curious to see how many greenback are left in Lily or if Roaring River or similar high gradient streams lost their fishery, but overall things seem pretty much back to normal.

Yeah, I've got my fingers crossed on that. I'm sure those business owners could really use a good season. John
moguy1973 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Love RMNP. Great pictures, esp some of the HDR ones! -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson
