I made it to Red Rocks today after an hour walk. To get there look up Red Rocks on Google at the beginning of the trail continue to hug to the left. There is a sign that says parking and leads to the beach, pass that. Also pass the pump house. Continue on until there is a small trail that eopens from a slanted rock and follow to the end of the cliff.
I chose this place honestly on a whim. When choosing it, I hadn’t even come yet and did not realize the distance I would trek. For my first visit I decided to walk from Church St to Red Rocks. This is about an hour walk. Although really relaxing it did take a slight toll on me. I think the reason I chose this place was to find a serene place that very far from campus but also something familiar. I had heard about it but never went. After havig come here I’m super glad I did. The rock face is gorgeous. The place I chose looks out in more of the smaller part of the main lake. During my time I was able to see maany boats sailing by on the waves. Today is incredibly windy and hot for a October day. From my elevation of around 100 ft above lake surfave the waves looked massive. The wind was almost knocking me back. However it was still very seriene. The place I chose has a natural bench too. A rock slab that is perfect for sitting. Looking forward I can’t wait to come back here. Although part of the rock fact has been tagged. It is for the the majority untouched. Looking into the future I want to know what rocks make up the ground I am on and if it is the same as say Rock Point.
After writing the past 2 paragraphs, I began to head down the cliff side a little bit. I sat on the edge, and noticed small flowers in the crevices. On my way back up when I jammed my hand into a hold a plate of rock loosened up. Eventually I was able to remove it and find a bunch of grubs! I took the piece of rock and am going to examine it as a constant in seeing how the rock changes.
