A planned stop – or at least one added to the plan once we realized we were coming back into Colorado – and another National Park that Kerri had not visited but I had; Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. We had to cross the continental divide again, for...
Earlier in the week we spotted what looked like some great backpack-in trails. It became quite a possibility that we were going to hang around through the weekend so we could do just that. However, during our planning we found that all trails – that we wanted to hike –...
I didn’t do a very good job conveying just how much I have enjoyed camping up here above Twin Lakes, Colorado. We were lucky to have scored the boondocking spot we have. The place is beyond beautiful with a full 270 degree panoramic view on our own secluded hilltop. From...
We finally got to leave the “low elevations” of Longmont (only 5,000 ft) after the work week was complete. No I take that back. We didn’t just leave, we high-tailed it out of there. By 8:00 am we were dumping our tanks. By 9:00 am we were finishing up getting...
Kerri needed to fly out of Denver for the weekend so back to Colorado we went. I got to hang out with my son for a few unscheduled days while camping at the local Fairgrounds in town. It is not the coolest place to camp, but it would keep me...
Well, that’s it for Colorado. I got to spend some quality time in my home-state this year and I am thankful for it. Since I began this nomadic life I have failed to explore my own state as much as other states. It doesn’t help that the time of year...
Ever since June of 2015, hot springs have been somewhat of a let down. It was on our drive up the AlCan Highway that we stopped in at the Liard Hot Springs and soaked in easily the best hot spring there ever was. Ever since that day we have been...
Kerri and I came here knowing we would be stationary for two full weeks, mainly due to the holiday weekend. Not only did we want to not have to find another camping spot on a big holiday weekend – which always proves to be stressful – we also wanted to...
Just outside of Steamboat Springs proper is Fish Creek Falls trailhead. It is not a long or arduous trail by any means, only a quarter-mile or so downhill (although coming back up can be breathtaking, literally) but it leads you directly to historical bridge, at the foot of the waterfall,...
By chance we parked the Airstream pointing in a very exact direction. The first night camped up top of Rabbit Ears Pass I woke late at night with an enormous orange glow staring back at me up the length of the trailer. From my view in the bed, 25 feet...
