Canyons and Waves

Posted on December 17, 2022November 9, 2022No Comments on Canyons and Waves

I always have wanted to hike to Antelope Canyon in Arizona to see the rocks that look like waves – too remote and too restricted. I tried to hike in Zion National Park to the Slot Canyons, but they were filled with fast flowing water on my last visit. A week in Las Vegas allowed … Continue reading Canyons and Waves

Revisit High Altitude

Posted on November 5, 2022October 5, 2022No Comments on Revisit High Altitude

Cottonwood Creek tumbling toward Buena Vista, Cottonwood Pass at 12,000 feet and Cottonwood Lake are some of my favorite places in Colorado. The majestic peaks pour their stored snow into creeks that tumble out of the heights in Cottonwood Creek to Cottonwood Lake for enjoyment. It leaves the overflow of the lake to course its … Continue reading Revisit High Altitude

A little Gem

Posted on October 8, 2022September 15, 2022No Comments on A little Gem

Near Four Mile Creek west of Divide is a ‘little’ mountain with a one track path up to a look out. It is a nature trail and that is usually easy. I decided to try to climb even with my heart issues. It took me an hour to climb a mile and half, but I … Continue reading A little Gem

11 Miles of Water Beauty

Posted on September 17, 2022September 13, 2022No Comments on 11 Miles of Water Beauty

11 Miles Canyon greets the driver with a roar of clear water after the entrance. It is located on State Highway 96 just South of Lake George, Colorado west of Woodland Park, CO. We headed into the 11 Miles Canyon (cost is $8 per car) to find a quiet place for reflection, silence and solitude. … Continue reading 11 Miles of Water Beauty

Magnificent Secret

Posted on September 3, 2022August 20, 2022No Comments on Magnificent Secret

Why would I not visit this magnificent valley in 24 years living in Colorado? I had never ventured on the Road to Jefferson through the Tarryalls from Lake George.  The mountains are at 11,000 to 12,000 feet above sea level and there are paths crossing many of them, but they are not famous.  They pale … Continue reading Magnificent Secret

Resting Well

Posted on July 23, 2022June 18, 2022No Comments on Resting Well

“One’s most effective work can grow out of first learning to do nothing well.” Backpacking with the Saints, Belden Lane P. 215 Americans only see ourselves as productive if our calendars are full and we are really busy. The pandemic hit this notion hard when we learned that the world did not revolve around our … Continue reading Resting Well

Slow Down for Adventure

Posted on April 30, 2022April 13, 2022No Comments on Slow Down for Adventure

On my yearly break from insane living, I read poetry and sacred focused writings regarding nature. My two favorite authors are Laurie Kehler and Beldon Lane. Laurie writes in “This Outside Life, p. 148”, “Why? Keeps us looking at God’s hand, going in circles. What’s next? Directs our gaze upward to God’s face opening the … Continue reading Slow Down for Adventure

“Ride Like the Wind”in Texas

Posted on April 16, 2022April 12, 2022No Comments on “Ride Like the Wind”in Texas

Christopher Cross released this song about ‘riding like the wind’ to the border of Mexico. Wind in the Spring in Texas reminds me of this song. We do not go outside to see how hot it is, we test the wind. It was really windy and the water was rough on our first Kayak trip … Continue reading “Ride Like the Wind”in Texas

Amazing Capacity

Posted on March 19, 2022March 12, 20221 Comment on Amazing Capacity

“The only indispensable item I pack (on a backpacking trip) is a capacity for amazement,” says Beldon Lane in ‘Backpacking with the Saints’ p. 91. For a moment upon meeting the my house guest husky Kemah, I was amazed. She is large, black and white and has beautiful blue eyes. Her soft hair has been … Continue reading Amazing Capacity

Peaceful Poudre

Posted on November 27, 2021August 31, 2021No Comments on Peaceful Poudre

Waiting for Taz, our twelve-year-old Schipperke dog to be treated at the Veterinary School in Ft. Collins, Colorado, we decided to sneak out for a quick hike in the nearby hills. This area had been threatened by fire in 2020 and I wanted to see how close the fire had come to this area.  We … Continue reading Peaceful Poudre
