Pure magic.

For the last two years, Erin Robertson has been Friends of Coal Creek's writer in residence. She has composed poems out of seed heads, willow leaves and creek water, and last night, she did it once more for us.

I can think of no better way to close her residency than with her feet in the water, backlit by a sunset while her words made us forget all about the nearby traffic and just about every other earthly worry.

Her ability to find those moments and hold them open long enough for the rest of us to join her is only part of what makes her so special. We were lucky to have her.

Here is the final poem from her residency, along with a picture of her leading the rest of us away without ever having to go far.

Did you know there are two separate parts of Eldorado Canyon State Park? You’re probably familiar with the Inner Canyon, but we’ll venture further west to the Crescent Meadows Trailhead where we will hike part of the Walker Ranch Loop in this more remote section of the park near Gross Reservoir. This will be an out-and-back for us, so we can decide how far we want to ramble, but I’m aiming for 2.2 miles round trip with about 500’ elevation loss/gain.

I was looking forward to reading at this but came down with a migraine on my way to Denver. 😢
