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. In “Explore the Parks,” I shares my many adventures in national parks from the desert of Joshua Tree National Park to the snow covered peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park.

In other words….it’s straight up. It’s one of … Continue reading
Boreas Pass near Breckenridge is usually one of the first places in Colorado, and the country, for the aspens to start putting on their vivid display of autumnal hues. Normally, the golden aspens peaks around September 18-20 in that area. My friend Kristen and I took her Jeep out for a ride up Boreas Pass … Continue reading
