Our bikes are wedged at the bow of the bouncing boat as it speeds over the white caps, we stand ready, rain jacket hoods up over our heads. Nick, the captain of the water taxi shouting over the wind…..here it comes! Continue reading RACING THE WALL OF WATER

MAROON BELLS – ASPEN
No cars allowed. A bus, provided by the City of Aspen, climbs the steep road to a reflective lake and two giant snow-striped mountaintops, named Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak, anchor a blissful panorama exemplified by a symphony of color that changes with the seasons. Continue reading MAROON BELLS – ASPEN
UNDER THE BIG TOP – SNOWMASS
Loie lifted the edge of the Zoppe Family Circus tent being pitched at the base of Fanny Hill in Snowmass and peeked inside. She and Howard got tickets and we joined them under the big top for the final performance of the day. Continue reading UNDER THE BIG TOP – SNOWMASS
THE MAYOR OF FRISCO

IRONBRIDGE – GLENWOOD SPRINGS COLORADO
Locals refer to it as “the best kept secret in the valley.” Stunning views of Mount Sopris from some pristine perspectives. An 18-hole, alpine course where the first nine are fairly traditional and the back nine layout encompasses greens elevated above canyons deep in the forest. The golf cart path can be almost 45 degrees in some parts! Continue reading IRONBRIDGE – GLENWOOD SPRINGS COLORADO

JENNY LAKE – GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK
We thought about riding our bikes from Jackson to Jenny Lake near the Moose entry to the Grand Teton National Park…and then regained our senses and decided to drive about half way making our bike trip about 10 miles round trip. Continue reading JENNY LAKE – GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK
JACKSON – WYOMING
We spent so much time in Grand Teton and Yellowstone; we didn’t have enough time to explore the city of Jackson. Most everyone I know calls it Jackson “Hole”, but it’s just Jackson, a town in the Jackson Hole Valley of Teton County Continue reading JACKSON – WYOMING
