Devil’s Courthouse is a 5720-foot rock feature just off the Blue Ridge Parkway (mile marker 422.4) in North Carolina. Although the summit requires a short, steep hike, I’m categorizing it as an attraction because it’s right off the road. There … Continued

Tallulah Gorge Sate Park

Tallulah Gorge State Park is one of the best parks I’ve visited in a long time—and I visit a lot of parks. Too many public spaces seem to cower in fear of liability (Pearson’s Falls & Glen is a great … Continued

Just finished a weekend camping trip in southern Colorado. We got to drive the famous #MillionDollarHighway and grab a beer and some BBQ in Silverton. 
The #OurayPerimeterTrail was the most rewarding short hike I have ever done. You climb up into the mountains (often on the edge of a cliff) and walk completely around the entire valley town of Ouray. It was absolutely spectacular. The foliage was in peak colors and the temperature was perfect. 
It's easy to see why Ouray is called the "Switzerland of the Americas." We got very lucky with this trip. 
The next time we go, Jenny said that she will spend the morning at a day spa while I climb the #OurayViaFerrata. Click the hashtag to see what I'm talking about. 😉

Some photos from our trip to Rainbow Lakes in Indian Peaks Wilderness over the weekend. We also visited some of our favorite places to see the Aspen trees.
