Between Game Wandering Along the Yampa
My younger son had a baseball tournament in Steamboat Springs, CO. That’s one awesome place to have a tournament. However, there are not enough fields in and near Steamboat, so some of the games were about an hour away in Craig, CO, which is on the Yampa River. In between two of the games, I grabbed […]
Finch Lake Trailhead to Pear Lake
Yesterday, I got a late start for what would turn out to be a great hike. I hit the trailhead a little bit late, and considering that I have not done as much hiking as I want this year, I was unsure as to how far I would hike. The clouds were hanging low, no […]
State Trust Lands & Arapaho National Forest
This last weekend, my younger son, Brandon had a baseball tournament in Steamboat Springs, CO. Since the boys would be traveling with their mom to the tourney, I decided to head out early and so a little wandering. One leg of my journey took me through some Colorado State Trust lands and Arapaho National Forest. I […]
Eagles Nest Open Space
Near Livermore, CO is Larimer County’s Eagles Nest Open Space. Through the years, I have driven by the sign pointing down a dirt road and have always meant to go check it out. Finally, this week, I did. I was not disappointed at all. The open space features over five miles of trails, through rolling hills and […]

Sandbeach Lake In May
A blog post about my hike to Sandbeach Lake in May. The Lake was still frozen, and the weather was crazy, but I got some great pictures and had a wonderful hike.
First 2014 Wild Basin Hike
I headed up this weekend with a friend for a quick hike along the Nighthawk Trail at Hall Ranch. Within a mile, the red, slippery mud was getting annoying. On a whim, I announced that we should turn around and head to Wild Basin in Rocky Mountain National Park. Since we didn’t have much cold weather gear […]
Finally a Warm Hike
The temperature is finally moving into the range for hiking in shorts and t-shirts along the Colorado Front Range. I have to admit that I am getting really anxious to get up in the high country and start hitting some of the high peaks. I mentioned that I was going hiking to a friend […]
Good Good Friday Hiking
The foothills here in the Colorado Rocky Mountains are melting off and drying up. On Good Friday, my friend Mike and I headed up to Lyons, CO to Hall Ranch to do a little hiking and take some pictures. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Friday than hiking in the Rockies! […]
Snowshoeing Alone to Two Rivers Lake
A Solo Trek to the Frozen Wild The day started off beautifully sunny and almost warm, but by the end of the day, a winter storm chased me down the mountain. Through the years, I’ve driven by many people gearing up to head into the winter conditions in the Rocky Mountains. I’ve always admired those […]
