This past week I took a quick trip to Utah. I went biking in Snow Canyon just outside of St George. Swam outside in an outdoor pool (I miss that), and then headed back to Colorado through Zion park and Bryce Canyon.

There is a lot of beautiful scenery in Utah. The southern [...]

Today, for the first time in a long time I swam, biked, and ran (and even in that order). It was an absolutely beautiful day here today, mid 60’s with just a slight breeze and only a few clouds. I really enjoyed the bike, but I had forgotten how much biking impacts [...]

Today I ran up Mosquito pass again. Not sure how many more times that will happen this year, there was a fair amount of snow and it was very cold and windy. This past week was very cold. It never even made it to 40 a couple of days. There was [...]

Let me know what you think of the new look. Also, I have only tested this on a Mac, so if it looks funky on a PC, let me know.
Thanks!

Today I finished up a Wilderness First Responder (WFR, pronounced woofer) class. It’s somewhere between an EMT and Advanced First Aid. I’m a big proponent of the ignorance is bliss school of thought and this class only reinforced that. I was much happier going out into the mountains before I knew all the [...]

Sorry for the long delay in posting. The last 14ers I climbed were Mount Harvard and Mount Columbia.

I was initially just going to do Mount Harvard, but on the way up I met some people who said they were going to hike the ridge from Harvard to Columbia. That sounded like a good [...]

This past weekend I hiked 2 14ers. Mount Massive is the 2nd highest and La Plata is the 5th highest. I hiked Mount Massive first and found it to be relatively easy. La Plata I found to be more challenging, but I’m not sure how much of that was due to being [...]

This past weekend I did the Leadville Trail 100 (a.k.a the race across the sky). It starts in Leadville, goes around Turquoise Lake, along the Colorado trail to Twin Lakes, then over Hope Pass to the ghost town of Winfield, then after a nice 50 mile warmup, you get to turn around and go [...]

Today was the Leadville Trail 100 mile mountain bike race. It seemed like every car in town had a bike rack. I thought about signing up for it when I first moved here until I found out how big it was.

The cycling fans among you may recognize the guy in black in the [...]

On Tuesday I climbed to the top of Huron Peak (14,003′). It’s one of the shortest 14′ers, but since the trailhead is also one of the furthest from a paved road, not too many people were doing it. It was a very nice hike to the top and the views were awesome.
