Rocky Mountain Arsenal
I’ve been going to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge for awhile, a lot of fishing in the 90’s but lately a lot of photography. I’ll post pictures here throughout the year.
In addition, I will be adding pictures from Barr Lake State Park that is very close to the RMA. Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge Colorado Barrlake State Park Colorado

Re: Rocky Mountain Arsenal
Took a 3.5 mi hike today at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, not a whole lot going on today. Here are a few shots of the Arsenal, gives you an idea of what the refuge looks like.
15,000 acres

Re: Rocky Mountain Arsenal
Nice photos and a beautiful place. Amazing to think how contaminated that place was not that long ago.

Re: Rocky Mountain Arsenal
I am a couple blocks from the arsenal and frequent Barr Lake enough I actually bought a lifetime pass for the state parks for the family
I often shoot landscapes but with the amount of birds around Barr Lake perhaps I should load up the 300mm + 1.4x extender |
