Walking at Fabulous Fabish

Posted on April 29, 2023No Comments on Walking at Fabulous Fabish

After a four month break from hiking and writing, I am finally back in Colorado. Perhaps this new physician will find the reason for my inability to hike at altitude without a racing heart rate. Hopeful. Cautiously hopeful. My last walk in Texas is at Fabish Park outside of Brownwood. This 100 year old pecan … Continue reading Walking at Fabulous Fabish

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

Grand Wash in Capital Reef NP

Posted on December 3, 2022November 9, 2022No Comments on Grand Wash in Capital Reef NP

Flat walks are also fun. Especially after a big climb and lots of steps the day before. After breakfast, we proceeded to Grand Wash which we had seen when we drove into the park. There is no gateway into the park, therefore many people never visit the Visitor Center and pay to park. We were … Continue reading Grand Wash in Capital Reef NP

Capital Reef National Park

Posted on November 19, 2022January 18, 2023No Comments on Capital Reef National Park

Weird name for a National Park known for its red rock formations. There is one white grouping of rocks that resembles the US Capital. The Reef name came from the waterfall rock ripple in the earth that traverses 100 miles to Arizona and can be seen from space. We were only 62 miles from Lake … Continue reading Capital Reef National Park

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

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

Cottonwood Lake Lesson

Posted on August 20, 2022August 20, 2022No Comments on Cottonwood Lake Lesson

Out of Buena Vista, Colorado lies one of my favorite roads leading to Cottonwood Pass, and Crested Butte.  It follows a beautiful creek, has Hot Springs and some of the favorite hikes of my past.  Denny Creek parking lot was very full, so we traveled on to the Ptarmigan Lake Trail.  Starting at 10,000 feet, … Continue reading Cottonwood Lake Lesson

Live to Hike Another Day?

Posted on August 6, 2022July 18, 2022No Comments on Live to Hike Another Day?

The sign stated “Live to Hike Another Day” at the beginning of the trail in Palo Duro Canyon in Texas.  This was followed by a sign telling you how much water you should have for each hour you expected to be hiking: 1 Gallon for each person and pet for a six mile hike.  High … Continue reading Live to Hike Another Day?

Elders Remember

Posted on July 9, 2022June 18, 2022No Comments on Elders Remember

Visiting a cousin in Mineral Wells, Texas was stepping back in time. My father became acquainted with her just one year ago when she came to a “Stinson Memorial” gravestone ceremony in Evansville, IN. She has been researching the Stinson name for 50 years. This is before Ancestry and 23andme were even a thought. She … Continue reading Elders Remember
