Why am I doing this?? I asked as I searched for a path up the steep mountain slope. The 14,150 foot summit of Mt. Sneffels was only a 1.2 miles from the trail head, but it was scary steep and covered with loose rocks that seem to give way as soon as you set foot on them. It was anything…

Exploring Box Canyon Falls from Top to Bottom

Posted on September 11, 2013 by Philip Johnsey | 1 Comments

Every time I drove by the entrance to Box Canyon Falls, I was a bit puzzled. The entrance was off the main road and went over a small canyon, yet every time I looked into that canyon I saw very little water. I can’t imagine a raging waterfall coming out of here. However, we all know how things aren’t as they appear and…

Not Exactly Roughing It

Posted on August 19, 2013 by Lesley | 0 Comments

Beaver Creek Lodge, despite its name, is anything but an ordinary mountain lodge. Located at the base of Beaver Creek Mountain in Colorado’s Vail Valley, this sprawling, 72-one-bedroom-suite property is known for its contemporary take on a traditional mountain resort. Bedrooms are adorned with animal-print throws; gas fireplaces and leather sofas add to the rustic appeal; the atrium-style Grand Bohemian…

Most Sportsmen Like on the Colorado River

Yesterday, we rafted the Shoshone section of the Colorado River with Lakota Guides. Our raft was filled with two other travel journalists and a PR “Story Teller”, Nicole, from the agency that represents Beaver Creek Lodge. We all had a blast and although it wasn’t the most intense whitewater rafting experience, it was the most fun. Nicole’s eager willingness to…

Is This a Dream?

Posted on August 19, 2013 by Lesley | 1 Comments

Today I was asked, “Are you forgetting what your home looks like? You sure have been on the move lately!” and it made me think about my whirlwind adventures in the last two years and reminded me that this month officially marks two years of blogging. Since starting Bucket List Publications, I’ve visited more than a dozen states, four provinces, and 8 countries….

Linger Denver, A Restaurant Reverie

Posted on November 6, 2012 by kylierae4 | 0 Comments

Featured Writer: Kylie Horner A visit to the Denver restaurant Linger is like entering into The Sims game portal, where anything is possible. The concept of the restaurant is illogical—Linger is at once a refurbished mortuary and an eatuary, that serves multi-cultural street food, in a fine dining setting. And the patrons, like virtual Sims characters, follow unquestioningly along this design. That’s…

A few weeks back 3 of the kids and I went on a group hike up Mt. Elbert, the highest peak in Colorado and the 2nd highest peak in the contiguous United States. We rose at 3:30 A.M. so we could reach the trail head by 5 A.M. We were trying to avoid afternoon rain showers. It was a beautiful…
