Alternative Super Bowl Sunday. Beaver Creek Snowshoe ». Breckenridge – Peak 6. February 15, 2014. 8220;Is it going to be this windy over the pass? My brother asked me as we drove from Fairplay to Breckenridge. 8220;Oh no. Don’t worry. Usually the weather is opposite from what it is here. It’ll be great. I promise.”. I am such a liar. 8220;I’ve been impaled! 8220;It’s okay. I hit limbs all the time. Just brush it off and keep going.”. Replied my riding partner. 8220;Oh. Well. That sucks.”. Note: Due to th...

Beaver Creek Snowshoe | High Rockies Explorer

Breckenridge – Peak 6. Log Rolling ». March 4, 2014. Just minutes northeast of Fairplay is a delightful hiking area on Pike National Forest. I simply call it Beaver Creek. The body of water that streams past the trails, even though I think its technical name is a series of numbers. I like my name better. My favorite sight was coming across a primitive teepee atop a hill, overlooking the mountains surrounding us. Sometimes I struggle to know how I feel about people leaving a trace such as these. I...I abs...

Alternative Super Bowl Sunday | High Rockies Explorer
https://highrockiesexplorer.wordpress.com/2014/02/07/alternative-super-bowl-sunday
Powder Day at Breck. Breckenridge – Peak 6 ». Alternative Super Bowl Sunday. February 7, 2014. Sitting around the TV, eating chips and dip while watching the Broncos get pummeled. I’m so glad this wasn’t how my past Sunday played out. Expecting the out-of-doors to have low attendance, I headed over to Buena Vista to try out a new trail. I’m super familiar with this location in the summer, using it as a great free camping spot (shhh…. don’t let the secret out. Much) The Colorado Trail. Own path was very h...

Monthly Archives: March 2014. Saving the World through Mushrooms. I just went to a presentation by the wondrous Paul Stamets. This guy is one heck of a speaker. PLEASE go to anything offered by him in your area. You will not regret it. Scout’s Promise. Almost a minute into the video, there are some mushrooms that I think have such personality. They seem to shyly peek up from behind a log. Too cute. Enjoy. March 27, 2014. Note the beagle in the lower left for scale. March 18, 2014. Instructor Sam Hadley h...

Grouse Creek Hike | High Rockies Explorer
https://highrockiesexplorer.wordpress.com/2014/01/21/grouse-creek-hike
Climbing Hills & Rocks ». January 21, 2014. I went on this hike over the weekend in Minturn, Colorado while visiting a friend. The trailhead was easily accessible and quite popular. Even though the temperature was just at freezing, the full exposure of the sun’s rays really made the hike warm. I even de-layered to the bare minimum. Even though the parking lot was next to a busy road, the noise pollution quickly. Our 5 Mile Route, Marked in Purple. This Post was posted in Outdoor Recreation. You are comme...

Powder Day at Breck ». Climbing Hills & Rocks. January 28, 2014. Volunteering is an activity that brings great joy to me. It had been a while since I had an opportunity to do so. My mother and I made plans to lead a guided snowshoe hike at Mueller State Park. Our Route, Marked in Yellow. We reached the bottom in a leisurely 40 minutes. Now for the uphill climb. The trees surrounding us brought real snow to our path! Well wonderful. How do I like to celebrate a hike-well-accomplished? Route one. Boom!

Saving the World through Mushrooms ». March 18, 2014. Note the beagle in the lower left for scale. Leave little treasures for future explorers. Sergio was so proud and happy to share his tree-friend with us. Slowly swinging myself down, I figured we were just about to head out. I dusted pieces of bark off myself, turning my back to the tree. When I turned back around, the two super-adults were up in the tree; what a surprise! This Post was posted in Outdoor Recreation. And tagged Bristlecone Pine. On Nev...
