Carpenter Peak

     A couple weeks ago, Nick and I revisited Roxborough State Park to climb up Carpenter Peak. At 7160ft above sea-level, it is a rather small mountain comparatively. The hike is 6.4 miles round trip, so it was moderately challenging. The real draw of this area is the rock formations, which are the same that make up Garden of the Gods, Red Rocks State Park, and The Flat Irons. It was a gorgeous day, but it was a bit hot.
