Our Adventures Through City and Backcountry
This morning I wanted to wake up super early so that we could finish hiking the three day backpacking trip unfortunately the 5 am alarm I suggested was swapped with a 6:30 alarm. Once we were up we pack up camp and hit the trail I lead today and was not messing around I was […]
Read More Day 48I am mad, I am frustrated, I am disappointed, I feel scammed and it is all because of a breakfast burrito. Please note my blog will only be on the burrito so to read about the rest of the day read someone else’s post. I was starving when we walked across the street to sugar, […]
Read More Day 46Several years ago, on our very first ever backpacking trip, we were disappointed to find the campgrounds at Great Basin National Park completely full. We drove to the tiny town just outside the park, Baker, and hoped to grab a room at the only motel. They were booked for the night, but we decided to […]
Read More Day 45: Stargazer Inn and Kerouac’sThis morning started with the best cuddles from the cutest sphynx cat in the world. I sat on the porch petting and cuddling and trying to think of a getaway plan so I could steal the cat. Anyway, I think my dad likes cats now… He made it a cat toy which is the closest […]

Two epic backpacking trips in New Mexico, two 14ers, two state highpoints. Today’s summit, Mt. Massive is my favorite of the 14ers I’ve completed so far. We set our […]
Read More Oops!…I Did It AgainThere is little doubt that today was the most physically challenging of the trip so far, and possibly of all the adventures we’ve had.

I can now officially say I have been up for more the 12 hours the alarms went off at 4 AM this morning as I said in my post from yesterday I have feelings for this alarm. […]
Read More Day 44Today was a rest day. We usually fill rest days with driving, household tasks like laundry, or smaller hikes. We couldn’t do any of those things today, but spent the day in Leadville. It’s the highest city in Colorado at 10,000 some feet and full of cute shops, outdoor gear suppliers, and some real good […]
Read More Day 43: LeadvilleAs you can see from my model today was an incredibly boring day. You get the vibe. Lots of sitting on benches wondering what we should do. Ellie and I got malts at one point. That was fun. Otherwise it was pretty boring. Ok I know this post is short but there is an old […]
