We set out for a long weekend at the Difficult Campground in Aspen. We hit the road around 2:30pm on Thursday and landed here to site 30, our reserved site for 3 nights just south of Aspen – some place warm, where the beer flows like wine & the beautiful women instinctively flock like the …
We set out for a quick overnight backpacking trip in the Lost Creek Wilderness from the Rolling Creek Trailhead just outside of Bailey. We were looking for a pretty easy trail for our first backpacking trip since Andrea’s knee surgery and my injured achilles/sciatic nerve. And we found it! After a quick 1.5hr drive after …
A quick post today! These first photos are from camping south of Guanella Pass in some dispersed camping sites. Beautiful but VERY busy. Lots of people driving by all weekend. This shots below are from another weekend of camping & riding near Salida. Beautiful leaves and great riding! Mozzie! -Kyle
Well, I decided to take on bikepacking the Colorado Trail in 2020. I’ve thought about it off and on, and have biked a good portion of it already, but have never put it together in one stretch. With the coronavirus, our time off this year for vacations has been sporadic at best. I took a …
In the middle of July, 2020, we decided to head out to California to visit my brother and sister-in-law, and their new baby Graham! We flew out on July 10 during the pandemic, which made it a pretty interesting trip. Luckily, our Southwest flight had only 60-ish people on it, and we just tried to …
The last time Kyle and I took off work was for a hut trip back in February. A vacation was long overdue! With a trip planned out to California mid-July, we decided to take the week before 4th of July off. Since we were taking a week off, we decided to go explore South/Southwest Colorado. …
After our beautiful mountain bike ride from Molas Pass, Andrea had to do a little work. Mozzie and I took the opportunity to hike a few mountains over thirteen thousand feet that were right near camp. We ended up hiking Spencer Peak (13,087′), Grand Turk (13,160′) and Sultan Mountain (13,368′). I think the hike ended …
This post covers the mountain bike ride along the Colorado Trail from Molas Pass (actually Little Molas Lake where we camped) up to the intersection with Engineer Mountain Trail, then down the Engineer Mountain Trail. Starting early, Andrea and I started from Little Molas Lake, around 10,900′. I had a cool new camera clip that …
After getting back from a fun few weeks back in Missouri, we were itching to get out into the mountains. We decided on a quick and lazy overnight backpacking trip, mostly because getting back into the gym after 3 months (covid closures) kicked our butts! We ditched work around 12:30pm and headed out US-285 into …
With the weather looking dry(ish) and warm in early March and reports of dry trails, we decided to get a jump-start on our desert season with a trip out to Fruita. After a slow day at work on Thursday, we took the long drive all the way across the state. 4.5 hours later and a …
