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 [...]
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 [...]

We left Friday after Dalton got off work. I had everything packed and ready to go. But there are a [...]
Going Camping
Friday, June 20th, 2008We decided last evening that this weekend we would go camping. Now, I haven’t been camping in 11 years or so. I don’t know if these old bones can handle any primitive camping, but I sure am game for it. It’s all part of my training to prepare me for the ‘Big Hike’ on [...]
The Longest Hike I’ve ever had…
Sunday, June 8th, 2008I’m beginning to feel like my youngest son, who’s an MP in the Army. I keep telling myself this is not PT, as he calls ‘his long hikes’. On Saturday, Dalton and I decided to take another hike. We went to the Routt National Forest near Kremmling. For the most part, we were on [...]
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 [...]
