“In big waves it’s easiest to catch a breath in the trough or low point of the wave instead of the top of the wave where it’s breaking” Dave said as we all encircled him brimming with excitement ready to start the whitewater part of our Cataract Canyon trip. I was listening to the safety […]
I took off my watch and packed it away, I put my phone on airplane mode. I was officially on an adventure now. Our OARS guide Dave started explaining what to expect and what our plan was for our first rafting day. I listened as I watched the Colorado River in its muddy brown glory […]

I mean we have 58 mountains over 14,000 feet, numerous jaw-dropping alpine lakes, 3 national parks, we even have sand dunes, and an endless number of cute mountain towns.
