While camping in on the North Rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, an interaction with a Stellars Jay gave me a moment to reflect on our place in nature.

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.

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 Read more…

Hall Ranch Hike with a New Pair of Crampons

ONE MORE EXCUSE GONE!!! In my continuing quest, to eliminate my silly excuses for not hiking in less-than -perfect conditions, I added trail crampons to my growing gear arsenal.  It was just too easy to say, “Oh, the trails might be too icy, or snowy, or  muddy.” With these bad Read more…
