I love hiking Colorado’s amazing peaks over 14,000 feet. In a sort of love-hate way that is. I actually feel fairly terrible the entire time: out of breath and slightly delirious due to a lack of oxygen on the way up, cold from crisp mountain winds on top, and then knee pain and leg instability while hiking down miles and miles of steep terrain that is slick due to small rocks on top of loose dirt. But the views! The air! The thoughts you think! Being on an adventure with friends! That cold beer when you reach your car and the meal you eat later that day!

In September, my husband and a couple of my parents and I headed to Vail for a weekend. It was so nice to see the fall color, go mountain biking down the ski hill**, and stay right in the heart of town. I loved go swimming in September at the end of Colorado thanks to that warm high altitude sunshine (certainly not because of the crisp air temperature or the cool water), eating at a German restaurant, and having cable (and a t.v. in our bedroom!). Thanks Dad and Mary for an awesome weekend!


I love to travel, and this past summer I did plenty of it. I especially love going to new places, so clearly my visit to Oregon was one of my favorite events of the summer. I went there to photograph a wedding at a bed and breakfast in Eugene, Oregon (images featured soon), but managed to drive about 1500 miles while I was there, from Portland into Vancouver, WA (do I get to count Washington as a state I’ve been to if I didn’t get out of the car?!) then onto the Oregon Coast (my favorite was Cannon Beach and buying cheese in Tillamook), then down more roads to Eugene.

I’ve been so busy on weekends when my husband and friends are free that I’ve spent under 24 hours in the “back country” camping, and that was way back in early June. I’ve only done a couple of hikes, certainly not any 14ers (and certainly not glissading down any 14ers like I did last summer for my bachelorette party). Luckily I have a few weeks to set things right and hopefully tackle Mt. Elbert, La Plata, or some other 14,000+ peek. I have a few more weeks to head into the mountains before I am faced with snow, and if I don’t get to enjoy the Colorado Rockies…
