Take a Hike Talon Hill!

Of course we’re not telling you to ‘take a hike’ as in leave, We’re telling you to take a hike as in get outside and enjoy the great outdoors! OutThereColorado.com is organizing their first hike, and they want you to participate.

Hiking is very popular in Colorado Springs. This is mainly because of the many beautiful hiking trails around the area. For the first OutThereColorado.com hike, they are traveling up Intemann Falls.  The  hike is only 2 miles with an elevation of about 800 ft. This would be a great endeavor for a group of friends. Furry friends are welcome as well.

I think that Intemann Falls is a wonderful exhibition hike. Actually, I like anything that takes me by a waterfall; I really love the subtle beauties of nature. It’s funny how something as simple as water falling over rocks is so appealing.

The waterfall is the most appealing prospect of the hike. Even when the fall is dry, you can still sit on a log and just listen to the sounds of nature; ultimate relaxation. Even the smallest trickle of water will bring around different types of moths, butterflies, and a few hummingbirds. Just be sure to wear some repellant to keep away other unwanted critters that tend to flock around water.

This is a morning hike, scheduled for Thursday, July 22nd at 9 am. The first 10 hikers will receive gifts courtesy of OutThereColorado.com. Be sure to wear comfortable clothing and sturdy walking shoes.
