This is all about the great outdoors. As an expert on travel and adventure in the Centennial State, I share my experiences in “Explore Colorado.” Since I lived in San Antonio and Houston for a total of 11 years, and travel back frequently, I share my adventures in the Lone Star State in “Explore Texas.” The “Explore the Outdoors” section features a plethora of adventures from La Bufadora near Ensenada, Mexico to walking the Swamp Rabbit Trail in Greenville, South Carolina.

I’ve been to Steamboat Springs many times, but this was my first time to see it covered in a palette of autumnal hues. From Rabbit Ears Pass to the Yampa River, the fall colors are spectacular in Steamboat, even if you have to dodge rain showers like I did on my leaf peeping road trip. … Continue reading
