Telluride, CO: A Traveler’s Perspective
Telluride is without a doubt the most interesting town I have ever been to…and definitely one of the most beautiful. Prior to 2013, I had only heard of Telluride in relation to the Telluride Film Festival that I read about in my grandmother’s highly educational tabloid magazines. I never thought about Telluride again until I was living in Colorado Springs. I was googling “hiking in Colorado” when I saw the Telluride scenery for the first time. I wasn’t sure because I had never been there, but I was pretty certain I had just discovered the most amazing place since the New World. It took me three long years before I…

Hiking Telluride’s Bridal Veil Falls
So, just to recap, Telluride CO is a must-see destination for you and your loved ones or really anyone that you know. I took the picture below in the middle of town!! I mean, who gets to experience that kind of beauty just lollygagging around town?? That’s right…Telluridians. (I totally just made that word up.) And maybe Switzerlandians. (Or Swiss… but I like my word better.) Once again, I digress! While there are many, many activities that I could recommend for you to do while in Telluride, I think if you only had time to do one thing before skipping town, it should be hiking up to Bridal Veil Falls. It’s not just the…

Telluride’s 33rd Annual Hot Air Balloon Festival
Guys, if you haven’t been to Telluride, CO, then things need to change. ASAP. By no means have I been everywhere, but I have been a few places! I’ve never seen forests as beautiful as Oregon’s, and I’ve never seen a mountain town more majestic than Telluride! The town of Telluride is nestled in a box canyon surrounded by tall white-capped mountains. The mountainsides are covered in aspen and evergreens, and a rushing river flows through the middle of town (no big deal). It’s pretty much Valhalla, except real…and on Earth. Most people have heard about Telluride in relation to the Telluride Film Festival, but not everybody knows that Telluride is home…

Telluride’s Best SECRET spot!
Guys, I’m not even gonna lie to y’all…this place is the closest I’ve ever been to having my own “The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music” meadow. What makes a place beautiful? Mountains? Trees? Meadows? Wildflowers? Majestic Views? A Woodland Stream? Check, check, check, check, double check, and check. All it’s really missing is a waterfall and a couple of unicorns. Ok, I don’t wanna oversell it, so I’m just gonna go ahead and tell you how to get there. Disclaimer: You will want to take this ride in a car that can handle rough roads. The footpath that we found was not fenced off, it didn’t have posted private…

Top 5 Tips for Visiting Pagosa’s Hot Springs!
I recently had the fortune of traveling again through Pagosa Springs this summer, and I decided to make good on a promise I made to myself in December…I would not leave Pagosa again without relaxing in the hot springs! Pagosa Springs is definitely one of our favorite travel destinations. It’s worth a stop all on its own, but it’s also a good one-night-stop as you travel on to other equally awesome spots in the area! If you are coming from the south, the drive from Chama, NM to Pagosa is hard to beat…I pretty much get angry every time I see it! There’s so many things to do in the…
