Colorado River Trailhead, Rocky Mountains - “Lost and Found”

If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?

MATTHEW 18:12 (NIV)

 

Colorado River, Rocky Mountains - “LORD, You Know Me”

 

LORD, you have examined me.  You know me.  You know when I sit down and when I stand up. Even from far away, you comprehend my plans.  You study my traveling and resting.  You are thoroughly familiar with all my ways.  There isn’t a word on my tongue, LORD, that you don’t already know completely.  You surround me—front and back.  You put your hand on me.  That kind of knowledge is too much for me; it’s so high above me that I can’t fathom it.

Psalm 139:1-6

Colorado River and River Run Trail - "My Eyes are Fixed on You"

 But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge--do not give me over to death.

Colorado River Trail- "Everlasting Love"

 The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying:  "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness."

Colorado River - "The Lord Make His Face Shine Upon You"

the LORD turn his face toward you

and give you peace."

 

Numbers 6:24-26 NIV

Colorado River in Kawuneeche Valley

 

We hike the Colorado River Trail and encountered Moose feeding in the valley.  There is a maze of other trails that spin off the Colorado River but the day was very hot.  Next time I plan to continue the hike to Red Mountain. In the Kawuneeche Valley the Colorado River is not very wide and the waters flow slowly but it provides the wildlife cool water and quenches their thirst on hot summer days.
