Descriptive Narrative of Castlewood Canyon
One of my most favorite places to go is Castlewood Canyon in Colorado near Castle Rock. The West side of the canyon is the most secluded and it has the most foot trails. You can wonder off and be alone in these trails. The bluffs are gorgeous and when I am up there, everything that seems to be problematic in my world seems to drift away. The bluffs are breathtaking any time of year but my favorite time of year to go is in the summer when I can feel the sun on my face. The area has some caves and bluffs that are beyond breathtaking and while many people go there to rock climb, I am most content sitting on the edge of a bluff and just looking out over the canyon. Everything seems so different up there - from how colors look to how the air smells. I have been there hundreds of times and I never get tired of being there. I generally take a notebook and write about everything that is going
The rocks were grey, the sky was grey, and everything had an ominous feel about it. One of the most memorable times I was there was a time in early spring. Although the storm had passed by the time I made it to my favorite bluff, I still felt like I was entering this enchanted place. To my surprise, I drive into a thunderstorm. I walked until my soaks were soaking wet from the snow and I simply could not stand the wet, cold feeling anymore. The leaves had turned and there were small blossoms on the trees on the way up to the canyon. A bluff is not the safest place to be but I thought I would just run into a rain shower. I walked down one of my favorite trails and took many pictures. The sun's reflection on the snow was very pretty in that it looked like the snow had tiny sparkles in it. Even when it is cold and there is now on the ground, I can find beauty. When I arrived at the canyon, I was surprised to find that the area had just received a fresh snowfall on which no one had stepped. It felt like I was going to Castlewood for the first time because it felt so different to me. The bluffs are the most exquisite almost any time of year. I took many pictures that turned out beautifully but I will never forget the mood of that day.
