We attended the historical reenactment of the early settlers at Walker Ranch above Boulder, Colorado. This authentically dressed and outfitted early settler rode his handsome paint horse up from Boulder for the evening of photography and plein air painting as twilight fell colorfully over the Rockies.

Step back in time and take a trail ride along Rimrock Canyon. Savor the changing colors as the sun sets over Colorado National Monument. Smell the wild sage as the trail meanders into the canyons. Build up an appetite for some chuckwagon steak, baked potato, cowboy beans and steaming hot coffee. Experience these sensations as you browse the Old West themed paintings of the region's best artists at Framed Image in Happy Canyon shopping center on Hampden off I-25 in Denver, CO.
