We hiked the most difficult trail in Golden Gate Canyon today. The trail is actually not bad. What's difficult is descending boulders with a 70 pound dog trying to pull you over every cliff.

Exploring Zapata Falls in the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado. This made me realize how much I miss visiting waterfalls in the Carolinas. Check out that blue ice. 😍

We dropped by a very crowded series of natural hot springs along the Rio Grande this weekend. This would have been better to do very early in the morning or very late at night. And without the annoying dog.

Finally made it to Great Sand Dunes. It's hard to capture the scale here with a camera. The highest dune is over 700 feet tall. It's a taste of the Sahara in southern Colorado.

Great little hike around the west rim of the Rio Grande Gorge in New Mexico. Check out the wary friend in the last photo.

This is a nice view of the Rio Grande Gorge, but I'm pretty sure the guy in the hot air balloon has the best view.

Explored St Mary's Glacier today. This is close to the majestic Chinns Lake where we camped last summer. This area is an embarassment of natural riches not very far from Denver. #hiking
Last photo from Moab, Utah: This one really spotlights the snowcapped La Sal mountain range on the horizon. I can't wait to get back there and venture deep into the backcountry.
*Sorry for the oversaturated filter; I couldn't get a good contrast between the mountains and the clouds without it.

Arches National Park is one of those places where a phone camera can't quite capture the epic scale of the vista. You really have to be there.

We did the Rim-to-Rim Loop at Dead Horse Point near Moab on Saturday. It's right next to Canyonlands National Park. Canyonlands doesn't allow dogs and this park was a wonderful substitution. Absolutely majestic. We'll go back and explore Canyonlands, but this park is not to be missed.

Great little weekend in Moab. This is the arch that's on the Utah license plate.

We finally got around to hiking the Incline in Manitou Springs, Colorado. To put this hike into perspective, if you climbed the Tallulah Gorge and Amicalola Falls on the same day, they would add up to a little over half of the steps on this one trail. It was fun! #hiking #selfie
