My wife and I just got home from a week-long vacation to Colorado (RMNP, Poudre Canyon, Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak) and swung through Mount Rushmore/Black Hills and the Badlands National Park on the way back. Should have planned an extra day or two there, it's my new favorite place in the country. I went a little landscape crazy since Chicago is lacking anything even remotely resembling this.

Also caught my first fish on a fly, to my eye a brook trout. 100 yards from the Continental Divide and at the headwaters of the Cache La Poudre River

I really need to find a job to move west...

Nice pictures! I grew up on the Poudre Canyon and the pictures of Lake Agnes sure bring back some memories. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Thanks all. If you hear of someone needing a corporate/private/due-diligence investigator-photographer-IT person in the west I'll start packing after I get home from work today
