Hiking Thomas trail


A few weeks ago, I and Al Spinks hiked the Thomas trail in the small town of Green Mountain Falls, about 15 miles west of Colorado Springs. The trail goes through Pikes national forest (North of Pikes Peak) and is around 3 miles round-trip. One will see a lot of waterfalls and extremely narrow passages in some places above the steep canyon. It was a beautiful hike. Here are some pictures from that hike and finally my hiking buddy. He is a six year old, 14 lbs Yorkie Poo named "Manu".

Great shots. I think the second waterfall photo is my favorite, and of course the cute one of Manu.
