Wednesday morning, after waking early, completing my morning work load and grabbing a quick breakfast, I jumped on my bike to go for a ride. Instead of the normal dirt road or trail, I opted for asphalt this trip. Hwy 191 runs North and South through the Grand Teton Nation...
Caribou Ranch is located between Nederland and the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area. The 2,151 acres of Caribou Ranch offers a variety of landscapes to explore including wetlands, meadows, streams and forests between 8,300 and 10,000 feet in elevation. The hike itself was short and sweet, with less than 3 miles...
I finally got out to the Brainard Lake area to do some hiking. I’ve been here once in the past, but did not get out of the car. This time around I hiked out to Lake Isabelle, just shy of the Continental Divide. I made sure to arrive early as...
It didn’t take much for Conor to convince me to head out for a hike, and since I always neglect the National Park, it didn’t take much more for him to convince me of the trail leading up to Mills Lake. Sadly, even after an entire night’s worth of planning...
Located outside the park entrances, Adams Falls is accessed via the East Inlet trailhead just outside of Grand Lake. It is a large and quite busy trailhead as it leads the hiker past two water falls and numerous lakes and meadows without the need to pay for the National Park...
Conor and I came up with a last minute plan to backpack out to Big Elk Meadows, stay the night, then hike back out through the Button Rock Reservoir and Hall Ranch. It would be a total of roughly 15 miles of hiking but it being broken up over two...
I have so many travel/activity ideas romping around in my head for this summer that I feel the need to put them on ‘paper’. Many of these activities are the same ones that I think of each summer but continue to pass up when something else, (usually larger and more...
I decided to go out for another mountain bike ride before a final snow storm worked it’s way through the area mid-week. Only two days after my last mountain bike ride, the original plan was to tackle two other nearby trails, but as is the norm with any plans I...
I have hiked the Picture Rock trail a couple times, and each time I had noticed how great of a Mountain Biking trail it would be. Sunday, I finally tackled it on a bike and it was a fantastic little trail. It is gently uphill for 3 miles to an...
The past few months I have been hauling around this mountain bike inside the Compact Jr trailer behind the van. With the trailer being stored I was in need of a new way to transport the bike. I did have a hitch-mount rack for the rear, but I desperately need...
