Friday, midnight, Moose and I are packed into the van and driving West, up the Rocky Mountains. Our destination was only to get to Ward, Colorado were we parked the van and called it a night. At 6:30 in the morning coffee was brewing and we were only a short...
Moose and I took the short 3 mile hike from our camp, up the Aspen Alley trail which then connects to the Whoop-Di-Do trail leading us back to Big Blue waiting in the shade of the pine. The Aspen Alley part of the trail really lived up to it’s name....
In a second day in a row of physical activities (aka – Conor trying to kill me) we set out on our mountain bikes to re-tackle a trail we did years back when Conor first came to Colorado; Hall Ranch. I struggled, of course, but ended fighting off a few...
Conor and I can no longer say we have never hiked in the Wild Basin area of the National Park. On Tuesday we set out to photo Ouzel Falls, roughly a 3 mile hike each way. A side benefit to hiking up in the National Park was the temperature was...

False Kiva is a human-made stone circle of unknown origin in a cave in a remote area of the Canyonlands National Park. No official trail leads out to the cave, but Conor did a bit of research and we found the start of the trail. A mile and a half,...
Another day in the Moab area and another hike… although a much smaller one then usual. The Upheaval Dome trail in the Canyonlands National Park is only about a mile round trip, but the view of this massive crater (about 5km across) is a huge pay-off for such a small...
