Boondocking

One week in Colorado is not enough. With mountains to climb, ski towns to visit, ghost towns to explore, lakes to paddle, and wildflowers to admire, how could one week…

Moab is a busy little town. Drive down main street any given day and you’ll see sidewalks clogged with tourists, hippies, and dirt-loving, OHV driving, four-wheeling enthusiasts. Some say it’s too busy. Too…

Almost exactly three years ago we rolled in the small town of Moab in search of arches, hikes and jaw dropping views. Over the course of nearly a month we…
