Monday, September 22nd, 2008Thought I would share this beautiful sunrise this morning outside my deck in Steamboat.
Strawberry Park Hot Springs
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’.

Five water falls are incorporated into the rock architecture creating one of the most attractive mineral [...]

WHAT THE FREAK IS THAT?
This handsome buck mule deer posed quietly and without moving a muscle as he tried to guess our identity. I’d never seen a deer stay so long trying to figure out what we were. It’s our estimation he must have been 2 [...]
Steamboat….traffic everywhere!
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008On Monday while Dalton and I were lazily trying to make our way through Steamboat, which seems to be only on Lincoln Avenue, we were stopped at a red light. Pedestrians were waiting on either side to cross when the little hand turned green. A latecomer on a bike towing his leashed dog started to [...]
Steamboat Springs and the Yampa Valley Curse
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008The French Trappers were the first to come to Steamboat back in the 1880s and they called the area, ‘Big Bend’, mainly because the Yampa River turns west at this point in the valley. Later after hearing the chugging of the natural springs sounding like a steamboat, Steamboat Springs was born. Steamboat evolved from [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

The lowing of the cattle could be heard long before the pounding of the hooves on the pavement as the Cattle Drive through downtown Steamboat began. One hundred and ten pairs of long-horned cattle were herded down the street as onlookers waited in anticipation. Dressed in our slickers and cowboy hats, Dalton and [...]
