Terrace with Meditation Bench, pathway and steps

The stone terrace with meditation bench is made of broken granite gathered from the mountains. It overlooks a deep pool that small trout enjoy. Views up and down river are lovely and serene. Two spillways that were built form cascades. An image of one is in the lower right photo. During the spring runoff from melting snow in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the river can rise and completely cover the spillways and reach the top of the adjoining retaining walls. The torrent of water can be exciting and the cascades are heard everywhere!
