Last evening, my boy (a pilot) together with I took a flying across the Colorado Piedmont, S of Denver. Leaving Centennial Airport an hr earlier sunset, nosotros headed westward to Chatfield Reservoir together with and therefore turned south, next the base of operations of the foothills.
Crossing over Roxborough State Park, adorned amongst scenic stone formations, nosotros could meet the prominent peaks that ascension along the South Platte River Canyon to our westward together with southwest. Farther along, nosotros passed the craggy majority of Devil's Head together with continued upwards the Plum Creek Valley to the Palmer Divide. Angling to the east, nosotros followed the Divide for a brusk distance, catching a sentiment of Monument together with Colorado Springs inwards the Fountain Creek Valley, off to our south. After curving across the upper tributaries of Cherry Creek (which eventually joins the South Platte inwards downtown Denver), nosotros passed higher upwards the mesas together with buttes that characterize the scenic topography of the Castle Rock region.
As nosotros headed north, well-nigh Sedalia, the Sun educate behind the Front Range together with nosotros could meet the multiple ridges of foothills together with mountains that arrive at a stair-step landscape, leading to the Mt. Evans massif. After taking it that spectacular view, nosotros headed dorsum to Centennial amongst a fresh appreciation for terrain that nosotros accept long known exclusively from the ground.
