Art, culture, travel and adventure in Northern Colorado.
I have a blogging philosophy that goes a little something like this: get sh*t up quickly, because the next thing is already barreling down the pike. In service of that philosophy, I take all of my photos on my iPhone. It’s a decent camera. I do very little editing, because editing is not getting sh*t […]

I promise, it was not my intention to visit three different art museums over our three days in Wyoming/Montana. Tippet Rise was always our main destination (read that post here), but the Brinton Museum (post here) was a spur-of-the-moment stop. Then, during our Tippet Rise sculpture tour, our fellow tourists all but insisted that we […]

On the road again, this time en route to Montana! This adventure involves both Dan and my mountain bikes — but more on that complicated adventure tomorrow. Before we could get to Montana, we had a lot of Wyoming to cover. We passed through Cheyenne and Casper before finding ourselves in the Sheridan/Bighorn area. We […]
Read MoreThis is exactly the kind of day Dan and I imagined when we moved to Colorado. Early autumn weather, a spontaneous hike with friends, random boulder climbing along the way. Kate and her family had a free afternoon and a hike in mind: Turtle Rock Trail, Vedauwoo Recreation Area, southern Wyoming. Turtle Rock Trail is […]

Read MoreIt has been a while since Dan and I have taken to the open road for more than a 2-hour drive. This weekend we voyaged to Salt Lake City — but on our way to Utah we camped in Wyoming in a beautiful area of Flaming Gorge called Firehole Canyon. It was a perfect excursion […]
Read MoreYesterday I started a three-part series, sharing photos from Dan and his friend Nathan’s recent mountain biking excursions. (If you missed it, here’s part 1: Horsetooth Mountain.) For part 2, our friend Justin joined Dan and Nathan for a ride through Curt Gowdy State Park in Wyoming. (Red helmet = Justin!) (Stand-up paddleboarding is on […]
Read MoreWhen Dan and I took our First Day Hike at Lory State Park, we quizzed our guide Mick about his favorite parks in driving range of Fort Collins. Mick is not only involved in trail maintenance in parks across the state, but he is also an avid mountain biker. Without so much as a pause […]
Read MoreDowntown Cheyenne, Wyoming is not huge, but I find it a wonderful source of visual inspiration. I’ve saved the best for last — this mural by Jordan Dean is my single favorite thing about Cheyenne.Â
