I live on the Arkansas River, one of the country's most popular whitewater destinations. My town comes alive in the summer, when boaters the world over come to surf the Ark's raging rapids. Dozens of outfitters dot the river from Buena Vista into Canon City. Essentially, if you want a stellar rafting experience, this is... Continue Reading →

I’ve spent years traveling the state, exploring hard to reach wilderness areas, playing on snow, in water, and among towering mountain ranges, and more recently, learning about the multitude of kid-friendly...

Could the power of Ganesh be real? I may have doubted the spirituality of India’s many gods, but perhaps its most famous has some worth to him after all. The God of safe travels was not with us Saturday, but he now seems to have made his presence known. Prior to our trip my sister... Continue Reading →
Before you step out you know a test is waiting for you. You just hope it never finds you. We weren’t so lucky. However, hard tests prove that you are stronger than you think. Here’s what we are dealing with now… We left Buena Vista yesterday morning to officially start our trip. Two hours of... Continue Reading →
