Spring in the mountains

Today I swam 100 laps in the pool in Avon.
This is my third time in the pool this week and I swam 100 laps in about an hour each time.
It is so refreshing to be in the water.
We also took the bikes for the first time this season for a cycling trip into the Glenwood Canyon.
It is a beautiful path that runs along the river.
This time of the year the wild roses are scenting the air with their perfume and all the wildflowers paint the riverside with bright colors.
The path is maintained daily and it has three rest area with large clean toilets and cool drinking water.
I love Colorado and how well they maintain and clean everything in America's largest playground.
The rock formation in the canyon are incredible.
They tower high above the river and the road like ancient red- oxide sky rise buildings.
