Fort Collins: Horsetooth Reservoir


On Sunday, after we visited a nice church in Fort Collins, we decided to go out to Horsetooth Reservoir County Park to take a little stroll.  Horsetooth is just a few minutes outside of Fort Collins, and it is a lovely place.  The reservoir is large and scenic, and there were many boats on it while we were there.  It is surrounded by land with beautiful hiking opportunities, and last time we were in Fort Collins we did a real hike there.  On this trip, we contented ourselves with a 1.2 mile walk down to the reservoir and back.


The weather was cool, sunny, and breezy.  People were out on the water, skiing, swimming, tubing, and sitting on party barges.  It looked like lots of fun.  We sat under the tree in the above picture to watch the action on the water.


The photo above gives you an idea of the terrain in Horsetooth Park and the area around Fort Collins.  I think it is a beautiful sight.
