CO-470 adventures

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

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!

I’ve been flaky ;)

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

Are you a snowflake?

I tried my hand at taking some macro photographs of snowflakes yesterday.

Cloud 500

Sometimes I like to take semi-abstract shots. I thought the sky would be a good subject the other day.

Southern Colorado love

A few months ago we explored a bit of Southern Colorado and went to the dunes.

Eastern Colorado: Sand Creek Massacre

Again, Eastern Colorado is not exactly bustling, but there sure is a lot of history attached to the area.

Eastern Colorado: Bent’s Old Fort

As you might expect, there is really not much going on in Eastern Colorado, but you also know I sort of obsess over National Park Service spots… so a visit was in order.

Rocky Mountain National Park day trip

I’m glad we were able to squeeze in and visit the Rocky Mountain National Park before the winter closure.

Paint Mines: nature paints better than me

Well. That’s not exactly hard, but that place is absolutely fabulous!

The Littleton cannibalism case

Yeah you read that right. The story is old but still. I did a little alternative tourism as my friend and I call it yesterday and visited the Littleton, CO Cemetery.

Red Rocks: music on the rocks

But also dry and hot. Ha! A concert venue in the mountains… and also Mountain Park. But I mean. How cool is that?

Mesa County-bound

Grand Junction and Fruita were definitely not the purpose for this trip (see previous post about Colorado National Monument), but I love sunsets and peculiar buildings…
