Some Colorado flood damage

10/10/2013

Comments

 
Decided on doing my 10 mile run on my favorite never-fail Marshall Lake/Eldorado Springs since I heard it opened up. However, I didn't realize only certain sections were open and when I got there I saw that the main parts of my run were still closed.

I didn't have time to search new trail routes, so I decided to run the closed parts (which is dangerous and sometimes damaging, you probably shouldn't do what I do).

And here's the look of them. I don't really have too many pictures of the actual trails PRE flood, but you can probably see the significance of the damage anyway. I imagine these trails won't be open until next season... and maybe even longer than that... It's sad =/

That's a landslide full of trees and bushes blocking the entire path. I had to crawl on top of this to where the trail opened again
Picture
This is looking down from the the trail. It looks like a river went through the bottom. I had no idea a stream or river was even near by
Picture
Looking across the valley I noticed another landslide

Once i got to the bottom with the newly formed river, I had to super obstacle course to get to the trail on the other side.

I came across this about five times.

    I have no idea what to do with myself, so I try to blog to organize my head.
