Reservoir Ridge Natural Area: Bobolink Spur to South Loop

This morning Noelle and I made the drive down to Fort Collins. We headed to the Bobolink Spur parking are off of Overland Trail and started our walk, headed west towards Horsetooth Reservoir.


The lower portion of the trail is pretty flat, but it heads towards the foothills it passes a few trees 

and a crosses a wetland on a boardwalk.

We reached the base of the hills and started climbing.


When we reached the crest of the ridge, we made our way over to a picnic area overlooking the reservoir, mostly to use the restroom.


We ate a snack and then continued on our hike. The hike through rolling terrain offered great views of the pleasant scenery.




Just before we reached the flats at the bottom of the hills, Noelle spotted a large spider perched on a rock.


We finished the descent,


and said hello to a friendly horse before returning to the trailhead.
