Yucca Plants in Roxborough Park

[larryj]

Just south of Denver is Rocksborough Park, with similar rock formations to the ones in Red Rock Park just west of Denver. It is a great place to roam around and look at beautiful rock formations and native plants.

These always look like green fireworks in shots like this. Nicely framed.

Thanks Alan, Roxborough Park doesn't get as many visitors as Red Rocks or Garden of the Gods, so it is a nice place for a leisure walk and taking photographs without the crowds!

Wow! I hadn't heard of this place. I think I need to head down and check this out.

Great photo Larry!

Nice shot of the plant and the area Larry. Certainly not a plant I would see in Saskatchewan!

Thanks Jim, the best way to get there is to take Hiwy 85 (Santa Fe) south out of Denver. There is a turn off to the park about 1/5 of the way to Castle Rock. It is a State Park with a lot of scenic walking trails through the rock formations.

Thanks for the comments Trent, appreciated.

Beautiful, Larry! The biggest flower in the foreground is like a living figure.. hmm.. such flowers do not grow under the Tatras.. very nice.
