Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Strawberry Park Hot Springs is located 7 miles north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. It is on my list, ‘I want to visit’. The hot springs consist of three pools, each varying in temperature and are open year round. Five water falls are incorporated into the rock architecture creating one of the most attractive mineral [...]
Hiking on an Elk Trail
Monday, July 28th, 2008On an earlier occasion, Dalton had seen a huge bull Elk as we were driving and sightseeing. This big daddy bull Elk was headed into a secluded, elongated valley where there weren’t any roads. Now Dalton being the big hunter that he is, and me being the photographer I am, decided we would hike [...]

Sunday, July 27th, 2008Open year round, the Steamboat Springs Campground is THE place to stay if you’re RVing. They are the only full-service campground just outside of Steamboat Springs. They also have camp sites available across the Yampa River. The campground is located at 3603 Lincoln Avenue in Steamboat.
Hiking Rabbit Ear’s Pass
Saturday, July 19th, 2008You often hear the phrase, ‘A picture is worth a thousand words,’ and also the phrase, ‘The picture does not do it justice.’ Both those phrases comply with hiking Rabbit Ear’s. I could never in a million years express the view from the top of Rabbit Ear’s, nor do any of the pictures I [...]

Passing Through Meeker
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008Meeker, Colorado is home to only 2200 people, but they have got to be some of the luckiest. I found Meeker not so meek. To me, it was quaint, with an old western feel. It is also close to the entrance to the western side of the Flat Top Wilderness Area and houses some [...]
Rabbit Ear’s Mountain Range
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008
Look familiar? It should because it’s the picture I used to make my header. Dalton and I traveled over Rabbit Ear Pass to get to Steamboat Springs, Colorado back in May, before we moved here.
Rabbit Ear’s Mountain Range runs east and west just south of Steamboat and is a spur of the Front Range [...]
Fish Creek Falls
Sunday, June 29th, 2008This is the most awe-inspiring place I have ever been. To achieve this, you have to hike 5 miles up steep, rocky paths, along side of cliffs which I thought I’d never do being afraid of heights, to reach the pinnacle of this trip. The falls at the bottom are pictured first, you only [...]
Routt National Forest Camping Weekend

What do you get when you put a 50 year old woman in the woods without any modern conveniences??? One tired, bug chewed, broken nailed, dirty old blond. Would I do it again?? You betcha!!
We left Friday after Dalton got off work. I had everything packed and ready to go. But there are a [...]
