In late May, we finally made it to Moab. As a Coloradian, Moab is like our neighbor's cool playground that everyone goes too. We spent 3 full days in Moab enjoying the National Parks and playing downtown. We barely scratched the surface of things to do in Moab, so be sure to research exactly what [...]

Painted Mines 2019
On a recent visit with a friend, we ventured out to Calhan, Colorado to hike Painted Mines Park. This interpretive park is in the opposite direction of most things in Colorado Springs, you will need to leave town and go east to Calhan. I’m really great at getting lost and with the help of my [...]

Preparing for a Hike in Colorado
I used to hike a lot on my own when I lived here 4 years ago. But upon moving back I realized how unprepared I was for hiking again. Not to mention I was wildly out of shape, but I couldn't remember what I actually needed to bring for an all-day hike. I mean I [...]
February 2018 | Impact Day | Red Rock Canyon Open Space
This is my first season as a Wild Keeper and I couldn't be more excited! Initially I planned to join the group clean up at Chatfield State Park in Littleton, but as Impact day grew closer I realized I didn't want to be driving and going that far in a potential snow storm. Instead, I [...]
