LeftHand Canyon Cooloff

August can get fairly hot around Colorado which temperatures sometimes reaching into the low 100s.  There really is only two ways to beat the heat: 1) find some water and 2) head to higher elevation.  In this case, we decided to do both!  This is up Lefthand canyon after a hot long run that I took.  We pulled over at this mountain preserve that has a river running through it and I turned the guys loose to explore.

It didn't take me long to find a nice cozy spot to cool off in.  I figured why not just jump right into the river!  There was this natural "seat" that seemed to be formed out of the rock and you could just chill right in your own little personal waterfall.

Gage decided to try his hand in the same location and was quite thrilled with the experience.  The water was quite cool as it is glacier fed from up the canyon but just a perfect way too beat the heat.

Gavin was a little bit downstream making this nice catch pond out of rocks that he could just lay down and float in.  We are very thankful that no toes were lost in the creation of the lounge pond!

Here is one last picture of Gage up in the waterfall seat.  I am certain that we will make many trips back to this location of the years, as this was quite the hit!
