Rifle Pond is located near the Rest Area along Interstate 70 in Rifle, Colorado. The pond is a gravel pit that was created in the early 70’s when the interstate was being built. Before that time there was a large open area here where they held the annual Easter egg...
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...
For 6 years I have lived in this city and only two miles down the road is McIntosh Lake, which I have never hiked. It is not wilderness by any means, which is probably why I have never bothered to hike it. However, Moose was in need of fresh bushes...
