Ran into some grouse on our hike yesterday. A group of 3 or 4. First time I've seen them here! iNaturalist suggests these were Dusky Grouse.

Any other year, heading into late August this field would be all tans and browns, but we've had so much rain it's still green, or what passes for green in this semi-arid zone. #frontrange #rockymountains
Hike in an aspen grove yesterday.
It rained while we were out and the small clear creek that we hopped across at the start was all muddy, much larger, and involved getting our feet wet on the way back. In a normal year, this creek would be almost dried up by now, but we've had a huge amount of consistent rain.
After the rain, the white shiny bark of the aspens was all green and slowly turned white again as the trunks dried out.
Today we left the Estes Park, Colorado area and drove south on the #PeaktoPeak scenic byway. Lots of elevation gain/loss as we traveled south along the #FrontRange. Stopped in Center City befrore taking a ride on the #GeorgetownLoopRailroad. Nice to have a home made diner at our #AirBnB in #IdahoCity Long but nice day.

I love the northern #FrontRange #Colorado school districts named after the river valleys where they sit: Boulder, St Vrain, Thompson, Poudre. I don’t know if students get anything from it but it’s shaped the way I think about how places around here connect. It’s nice to have a frame of reference that isn’t all towns and roads and I don’t think I’ve had that nearly so much other places I’ve lived
Ran Rabbit Mountain this morning, first time since my kid spent much of the summer working on that trail with the #Boulder County Youth Corps. It’s close (8 mi from home) and short (4 mi loop) and not too high (trail gets to 5800’/1800m) but there’s cool biological diversity and nice views of the Thompson Valley to the north and St Vrain and Boulder Valleys to the south. #FrontRange #colorado

I added a few new relays this morning in order to bump up the available posts in the Federated feed.
The main impact you'll see is more content in your followed hashtags, so be sure to use them!
Federated is a literal firehose, so getting comfortable with how to follow people and hashtags is the key to using Mastodon effectively.
Hey #FrontRange peeps, do you know about the @frontrange.co instance? Would love to see you there!
It’s honestly absurd. The entire front range is converting field and farmland to residential housing and condo/ apartments. Yet not one facet is affordable housing. In humboldt we can’t really build much. It’s a different problem. It’s gross seeing an area ignore the poor and working class entirely with nothing but space to develop. I’ll smile when it collapses. #denver #frontrange #co #disastercapitalism

Really bad AQI here on the #FrontRange. Keep those windows closed, friends.

Perfect weather for tonight’s ride. Saw a very large elk, but had to cut the ride short due to a locked gate. Our crew was small, but mighty.

With all this rain that the #FrontRange is getting, a lot of people are concerned about flooding. Here's a fun #SoilScience fact.
Bone-dry soil is terrible at absorbing moisture, while damp soil is great at it. You can see this in action when watering your plants.
A long slow drizzle like today means the soil can absorb water faster and retain water better (until it's saturated), meaning floods are much less likely to be flash floods.
