Mineral Creek Beaver Dam

After a great day of photography and fishing, we ended up and the end of this canyon road and saw this. We've been exploring the back country around Silverton, CO and this road was close to the town. Our goal was to reach Clear Lake to take pictures and get in some fishing.

 

What an amazing day. We had spectacular views around every turn and to get to the end of the canyon and see this was a perfect way to end a great day of photography. If you look closely, you can see the den in third pond. There is another dam below my framing of this picture. The beaver pond took up several acres of this meadow. I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow.
