Hiking to the Summit of Pikes Peak
Back in 2022, on the second day of my attempt to conquer Pikes Peak, I fell short, coming within a mere 2 miles of the summit.
Fast forwarding approximately two years, I made another attempt on Day 2 to reach the summit, and this time, I succeeded. However, some of the challenges I faced on my previous attempt resurfaced.
Despite these setbacks, I am thrilled to finally announce that I have successfully summited Pikes Peak.

My Return to the Barr Trail
มุมมอง 2828 วันที่ผ่านมา
Back in October 2022, I embarked on my first attempt to conquer the Barr Trail and reach the summit of Pikes Peak. At that time, it was my inaugural 14er, and I was utterly clueless about what to expect. A whirlwind of events unfolded within a single day, from waking up from work to the grueling 5 1/2-hour drive from Grand Junction to Maintou Springs, and of course, the daunting elevation gain....
Decaliborn Trail - Colorado's Quad 14ers
มุมมอง 21หลายเดือนก่อน
The first time I hiked not one, not two, not three, but "four" 14ers in one day. Welcome to the Decalibron Hike, where you tackle these "Four" 14ers in one trail. Yes, you may have noticed that I put the word "four" in quotes. That is because while you can reach the summit of Bross, it is technically off-limits to hikers. So put on your gloves, hat, and warm hiking gear and tag along with me an...
Hiking Grays and Torrey's with Two Co-Workers

This is one of the first hikes I did with some of my co-workers since starting my new job along the Front Range. We decided to tackle not one but two 14ers, Grays & Torrey's. The hike was amazing, though I was struggling after hiking 11 miles the previous day with my hiking group.
Hiking to the Skaguay Abandoned Power Plant

It's another Hiking with Friends in Colorado with a new introduction and hike for most of us. Nestled deep in the forest just southwest of Victor lies an Abandoned Power Plant that requires seven water crossings, some bouldering, and going through some dense forest.

Hiking to the Summit of Mount Blue Sky
มุมมอง 202 หลายเดือนก่อน
I have always wanted to do this hike, and I finally got to conquer it before they shut down the highway for over a year for road repairs, beginning on September 3, 2024, and won't reopen until Memorial Day 2026. From crazy wind chills to windy conditions and getting lost a few times, the journey to the summit was an experience. On top of that, I met some fantastic people along the way. The hiki...

Dropping 1,000 Feet Underground in the Mollie Kathleen Mine
มุมมอง 8762 หลายเดือนก่อน
I have always been fascinated by mining experience from the 1800s to the 1900s. Mining back then was different, and I learned everything that miners did: the insane work, countless hours of manual labor, the harsh conditions they worked in, and the little sleep they got to try to make a living. This mine tour surprised me, and it's no wonder why the Mollie Kathleen mine Tour is one of the best ...

Get ready for the Cripple Creek adventures to continue with Part 2 from Memorial Day. I decided to take the Cripple Creek Railroad to learn about the history of this fantastic town. However, there was something a little different that completely blew me away. It was the number of mines the city of the cripple creek had and being able to see a majority of them. Tickets to Cripple Creek Railroad:...
Donkey Release of Cripple Creek
มุมมอง 872 หลายเดือนก่อน
Many different activities happen around Memorial Day, and one of them that the small historic town of Cripple Creek does is a donkey release. There is a lot of history behind the town's donkey release every year. In the mining days, donkeys were used to transport all the ore the miners extracted. Many donkeys never saw daylight as they worked in the dark mines 24/7. Around Memorial Day, Preside...

Despite being super tired from the day before, I still made it out to a place I hadn't been to before: Old Colorado City. This was part of my journey over to Cripple Creek where I made a pit stop here to see one of my best friends as it was the last day of the Terrority Days festival.

Come along for the trail with me as I tackle an enjoyable little loop trail in the Red Rocks area. This trail is called the Red Rocks and Morrison Slide Trail.

So think of the loop as the balloon and the path leading up to the intersection as the str...
