Photo
Of The Week...
This Week's photo features an
interesting rock formation, known by some local
area residents as "The Rabbit".
Found on the south side of CR
43, by the large pull-outs approximately ½ mile
east of Glen Haven, "The Rabbit" is one
of many interesting rock formations in our area,
shaped by millions of years of weathering. Softer
rock is eventually worn away by the elements
leaving behind the beautiful formations we enjoy
today.
Some of the larger, more well
known formations in our area include Chief's Head
in Rocky Mountain National Park, Indian Head near
McGraw Ranch and the famous Twin Owls near
McGregor Ranch, on CR 43 (Devil's Gulch Road) just
outside of Estes Park.
