On the suggestion from my friend Dawn (who was super helpful with suggestions during my time in Colorado), Rich and I backpacked into Rattlesnake Canyon for one night. Actually, I guess I should back up the story a little bit right there… We originally were…
As promised, some alpine flowers and plants. I was surprised to see the succulents up there, but I found them really cool.
Alright, kind of a weird post here… and I normally am not one to do this much post processing on photos – either they are good in the camera or they get deleted. I mean sure, sometimes if the subject is really good I’ll do…
An earlier stop on my drive to Colorado was a night in the Okeefenokee Swamp in Steven C. Foster State Park in southern Georgia. It is listed as a great place to view the stars because of its remoteness and lack of light pollution –…
During my drive from Florida to Colorado, I passed through St. Louis and figured I might as well stop at the Gateway Arch. Thankfully it wasn’t crowded and I took a handful of photos, though oddly enough the one I like best was a quick…
I honestly didn’t do very good at taking advantage of photographing sunrises very much. I often would try to get to places close to sunrise both to avoid the hottest part of the day and to catch the morning shift of wildlife, but rarely was…
This is an odd one for me, and I’m not sure if it was Google Maps or AllTrails that I was scrolling around looking for places to check out and randomly the trail for Doc Holliday’s Grave Trail popped up. It is located in Glenwood…
If you haven’t seen Part 1 of this series, go check it out for photos of the trailhead and the beginning of the hike. After climbing up to 13,207 feet, we reached the Argentine Pass. This is the location where a wagon trail actually used…
Alright – I’m going to try mixing things up and getting a variety of photos from Colorado while also continuing to get through my extensive backlog of photos (and videos!) from Florida… heck, I still have stuff from my travels to Bali, Timor Leste, and…
Alright – as promised, here is the really cool thing I found during my first hike in Palmer Lake, CO. After hiking up Chautauqua Mountain, I was down in Limbaugh Canyon returning back to my AirBNB. At one point the trail runs right along a…
On Saturday I decided to do a much more substantial hike. It actually turned into a 15 mile trip that visited thee different mountain summits, two different reservoirs, and one natural monument landmark. So for today I’ll share a handful of panoramic photos from atop…
Ok – I took this photo yesterday when I was out playing some disc golf. I just couldn’t help sharing it off schedule it makes me laugh so much. Apparently they play disc golf differently here…
This is the third lake in Palmer Lake – the one in the photo from the other day is the lowest and is right in town, and there is another small one a bit lower down the mountain from this one. Of the three though,…
So if you’re not aware, my next digital nomad adventure has brought me to Colorado. I’ve traded my scuba fins for hiking boots. My first stop is a small little town called Palmer Lake which is south of Denver. And my first challenge was Mount…
Just a few more photos and a short video to add to yesterday’s post…
