Lots of deer wandering through our back yard this week. This youngster was in front of the house at dusk last night.

It's been a busy, hot summer. Now that it's quickly drawing to a close, we can sit back and enjoy the cooler air, the bountiful harvest and the changing colors all around us. Take a deep breathe . . . and exhale.

SECOND FEATURE HIKE FOR THE WEEKEND: Gliders’ Point. Spectacular views, history, and a must to do. This hike lives up to its name, one of the best points for a bird's (gliders') eye-view.

We've been asking for shared photos and stories about your hikes. This person sent us a beautiful photo and captured the reason it was a special hike. This encapsulates our hopes for our trail users: to create memories and enjoy each step along the way to a stellar viewpoint.
"Two of the individuals shown are also on the Gliders’ Point rack card which was taken three years ago on Father’s day.

My sons and I along with my one of best buds and his son make the hike as one of our yearly hiking rituals."

Gliders’ Point
The Creston Community Forest completed and built the extension to the West Ridge Trail in 2019. This new trail provides a more direct and scenic hike to Gliders’ Point (the old hang gliding site).
DIRECTIONS: http://crestoncommunityforest.com/gliders-point/

In May of 2020, a picnic table, fire ring and bench were flown via helicopter to the old hang gliding site now known as Gliders’ Point.
The site provides a beautiful view of the valley. It is often frequented by wildlife and is a habitat for Mountain Goats.

The historic hang gliding ramps were built from wood in the early 1980’s as a launching site from Mount Thompson. Tricky winds posed a problem for many of the hang gliders and therefore this site was not frequently used.

Have a great weekend and happy hiking everyone!

Fall in the Creston Valley is so beautiful, even with the haze of fire smoke drifting across the border. The cooler nights are painting the trees in all shades of golden yellow and red blushes. Woodland creatures are busy fattening up for the coming winter. Bears are busy raiding fruit trees in the area and the deer and wild turkeys are regular visitors.

If our hillside bear ever comes this close, I hope he is as thoughtful. LOL.

A mixed June weather day teased us with sporadic large rain drops, sunshine and balmy breezes. A brilliant, brief sunset lit the evening sky.

Why not consider setting them up in our lovely ground level apartment a short drive away from some great RV parks in the Creston area. Camping for you and glamping for the folks. Make this a summer to remember for a lifetime. p.s. Don't forget the boat or lake toys. 🙂
