After a full day of orientation at the Colorado School of Mines for my new position as an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Heather and I went on a drive around the general Golden area. We drove up Lookout Mountain Road and stopped off at the Clear Creek Canyon overlook in Windy Saddle Park. The above photo looks out to the west into Clear Creek Canyon.
Looking east toward Golden (in the little valley below) and Denver far off in the distance.
