| Monday the 12th Bob and Brenda and I headed up to Horsetooth after work. | About halfway up here, nice view. | Brenda and I are sweating pretty hard, it was 97 in Ft Collins today. | A line of ants across the trail. | They are going in both directions. | ||

 |
||
| Interestingly when I retraced the route on Tuesday, no ants to be seen in this area of the trail. | History of the area - sign is just below the north tooth. | On top of the north tooth. | ||||

| Scrambling back down the tooth. | Deer! Too dark to be anything but a blur. | It was totally unafraid of us. | ||||

| Next day Tuesday I went up again, alone this time, made it all the way up the north tooth again (this is looking up at the north tooth). 1:15 up, 1:00 down. | Gorgeous view of Fort Collins. | Nearly back to the parking lot, bottom of the road (last turn) looking west at the sunset. | Hiking again Friday the 16th with Bob, saw a deer on the way up. | This was just before the Wathan trail intersection. | ||

| Lots of gorgeous flowers after all the heavy May and June rains. | Bench on the trail to take a rest. | Top of the north tooth. | ||||
