Midway Geyser Basin
Leaving the Paint Pots we noticed even larger plumes of steam towards the South. As we got closer we figured the majority of the steam was coming from the Grand Prismatic Pool. On my last visit to the park I didn’t get a chance to see the Grand...

As we continued South along the Western portion of the loop we started noticing more and more geothermal activity. Having seen a geyser pretty close to the road we stopped to take a closer look. After finally finding a parking spot we walked...

Entering the Mammoth Hot Springs area we decided to take a quick detour to the North entry gate so I could get a National Parks Pass. When we arrived earlier in the day the East entry station was empty so I couldn’t get a new National Parks Pass....

The Loop
As we drove north along the Loop we neared Dunraven Pass and noticed quite a few people looking up the mountain. Being curious to what they were looking at, we stopped alongside the road and inquired to what was there. They informed us that up...

My friend, Frank, and I decided to go on a little road trip for this weekend. He recently graduated from the Architecture graduate school in Albuquerque and had a little bit of down time. The last time we met up was at his wedding the prior...

Denver Calm
Waking up early this morning my Father and I headed to the Denver City Park. Located just west of downtown the park offers wonderful views of the city as well as the mountains. Along with the rather pleasant sunrise it was nice to see the...

My Father and I decided to head to Mount Evans for this morning’s sunrise. We left town around 4:30am and it wasn’t until we were near Idaho Springs that we spotted a sign that said Mount Evans would be closed from 9am-2pm for a bike race....
