Where in the Woods to Write, Think, Breathe, Knit

This is one of my favorite spots in the Flat Irons -- Woods Quarry on the McClintock Trail.  Originally someone had the idea to quarry the slabs of rocks on the mountain's face at about 14k feet. They probably should have thought more closely about the logistics of hauling tons of weight in rock slabs down the mountain. It was eventually abandoned, and now some wonderful hikers have over time, created benches and throned-seats out of the slabs. This one was tucked under a square of four trees and I defintaely plan to return here -- often when we move here -- and bring my books, my notes, my knitting (plan on learning how to knit while hiking -- shepardesses did it all the time in the 19th century) and just breathe in the scent of pine and wild flowers.
