Lake Meredith is BIG!

But then again… everything is bigger in Texas, right?

2,500-mile Texas/New Mexico excursion (keep scrolling)

It took me long enough to get back on the road, but I was finally able to take a trip. I took a longer trip this time: Southern Colorado, Western Texas and Central New Mexico.

CO-470 adventures

I did a thing a few months ago… I hiked from my place in Littleton, CO to Highlands Ranch.

New Mexico is (was) on fire

Keeping up with the journey and the quest and visiting as many National Park Service spots as I possibly can. Last weekend was Capulin Volcano NM‘s turn.

Curecanti NRA in the books

Though I would love to go back and explore more of the area.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison

Today I’m taking you to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Some say they find it more impressive than the Grand Canyon.

Western Slope adventures

I’ll have to post a map of the itinerary at the bottom of this post to show you guys what the adventures entailed. Such a fun trip!

Devils Tower, check!

I had been wanting to visit Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming ever since I visited Devils Postpile in California.

Fort Larned NHS on the Santa Fe Trail

This will be the last post from my trip to Kansas a few weeks ago.

Nicodemus NHS: the promised land

As promised, here is the post on Nicodemus NHS. There is not a ton to see, but the place is rich in history. Totally worth visiting!

4 states in 2 days (keep scrolling!)

Well… I mean. Let’s be modest and realistic here. I left from Colorado early on a Saturday, drove to Kansas and slept there at night. Then, I drove south to Oklahoma’s Panhandle and made a quick detour to Texas just to be able to say I was there that weekend. Ha!

Scenic Byway U-128

We got back on the road and drove to Grand Junction, CO from Arches National Park back in March.

The Monument…again!

I went back to Colorado National Monument a little bit ago and thought I’d create another post to highlight some of the details such as flowers, etc.

I’ve been flaky ;)

I haven’t been posting much lately, but I’m thinking I can remedy this flakiness with some… snow flakes.

Some arches are more golden than others

Yeah. I finally got to visit Arches National Park this last weekend with my friend.
