How I Climbed the “Wrong” Mountain
It happens. Your mind can get lost in the beauty of the place where you are, and before you know it, you’ve climbed the wrong mountain!
Smokey and a Real Bear!
After hiking for many years in the Colorado Rockies, I’d never seen a bear while on the trail. That finally changed while hiking on the Sandbeach Lake Trail.
Hanging Out with a Bull Moose in RMNP
I was extremely lucky to get to spend an hour and a half with a bull moose in his own world, in the wilderness of Rocky Mountain National Park.

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 […]
