The raccoons at Colorado Bend State Park are kind of working on their manners. They just forgot to put the trash back in the trash can.

Mae asks that if you take your pet out to hike be mindful of the hot temps. If the temp is 98 degrees, the rocks can be near 120 degrees. Here is an easy test. Put the back of your hand on a rock, if you can’t hold it there for 5 secondsit’s to hot for your pets paws. Hike safe!
