I highlighted everywhere I drove in blue, the places I hiked in pink and the places I slept at in orange. My plan was to go all over Colorado but I picked the wrong time to do it. Southern Colorado is excellent in the beginning of June, but Central and Northern Colorado, not so much, [...]
I have always wanted to see Aspen. Now don’t make fun, but it happened after I watched dumb and dumber about 10 years ago. It just looked beautiful on the film and I always wanted to see it in person. Now I have, and it is just as beautiful as I hoped it would be. [...]
Telluride Colorado, is a small, kinda hippy town with huge mountains surrounding it. These mountains are so serene, and ginormous!!! I never heard of this town until I was searching “best hiking in Colorado.” Of coarse the regulars pop up such as Rocky Mountain National Park, and Mesa Verde National Park, but Telluride stood out [...]

I have lived in Buffalo NY, pretty much my entire life. Now, it may not be the most luxurious spot to be brought up in, but it did have some perks. Buffalo chicken wings, great pizza, great food and beer in general, great history, bars open till 4am (us buffalonians like to party!) and one [...]
At nineteen years of age, I decided to pack up and head to Alaska, to live in Denali National Park, a 6 million acre park! I did not know what to expect. I knew no one there and I had no idea what I was in for! So here I am with no money, broke [...]
