We flew in and stayed the night in Great Falls, Montana and the next day we drove around to check out a few areas of the park. We also did… Continue reading Glacier National Park Trip

I cannot get enough of the fall leaves here in Colorado. In September and October, we took a few hikes, a back packing trip, and a… Continue reading Fall and Halloween 2021
This hike actually took place about 4 weeks ago. We just love to torture ourselves by getting up at 3:00 am to hike a 14er at the crack of dawn (to avoid any afternoon thunderstorms)! The 14er we hiked was at Grays Peak, located about 2 hours west of Denver. The views were beautiful and… Continue reading Hiking a 14er

Last Thursday, we celebrated Galentine's Day at my house eating pizza and watching The Bachelor. I made these cute… Continue reading CO Ski Trip and Galentine’s Day

It is hard to believe that summer is almost over! But that only means ahead of us is cooler weather, fall leaves, and pumpkin spice! We decided to spend another holiday weekend up in the mountains camping. But not backpacking, car camping! We went up to Jones Pass, which is about an hour away from… Continue reading Labor Day Camping
