Monday, July 21st, 2008Colorado is one state you will always have the ability to enjoy watching wildlife. It doesn’t take the average person very long to locate any deer, antelope, or elk.

Sunday, July 20th, 2008The Flat Top Scenic Byway runs from Meeker, Colorado in Rio Blanco County to Yampa, Colorado in Routt County.

Hiking Bear Lake, Yampa
Saturday, June 7th, 2008We went hiking last evening at the Bear Lake Area outside of Yampa. We scouted for wildlife while there, and sadly, only seen two deer as we entered the Routt National Forest and one red fox as we were leaving. No signs of Elk, Moose, or Bear which I would have liked to [...]
