Near the Boulderfield below Mount Sneffels watching a pika dart between the rocks while climbers push for the summit. Quiet air wind and that small squeak echoing off the stone. Colorado always surprises. #MountSneffels #Colorado #Adventure #HikingLife #GetOutside

Down through the talus below Mount Sneffels watching Yankee Boy Basin light up with color. Legs burning rocks shifting but the view makes it all worth it. #MountSneffels #Colorado #Adventure #HikingLife #GetOutside

Descending Mount Sneffels with my brother through endless shifting talus. Legs burning rocks sliding but still laughing. Tough wild and unforgettable. #MountSneffels #Colorado #Adventure #HikingLife #GetOutside

On the summit of Mount Sneffels with my brother spinning a full 360 across the San Juans and the Colorado Plateau. Thin air cold wind and nothing but sky stone and peace. Pure happiness. #MountSneffels #Colorado #Adventure #MountainViews #GetOutside

Right below the V Notch on Mount Sneffels with sunrise turning the rocks gold and the air thin and cold. Every step slips but the light makes it all worth it. #MountSneffels #Colorado #Adventure #HikingLife #GetOutside

The final stretch to the top of Mount Sneffels was nothing but scree and slipping steps. Then sunrise hit the ridge and the whole basin came alive with color. All the pain turned into awe. #MountSneffels #Colorado #Adventure #HikingLife #GetOutside

Yankee Boy Basin in Colorado makes you feel small in the best way. Jagged peaks, wildflowers, waterfalls, and a sky that goes forever. I stood there speechless wondering what the fuck and feeling completely alive.

Ouray Colorado really lives up to the name Switzerland of America 🏔️ Explored Yankee Boy and Governor Basins then hiked Mount Sneffels on the standard route. Stunning views in every direction.

Time to air down for Yankee Boy Basin 🚙⛰️ I always drop to 20 PSI for off-road… never fails me. Explored the basin, then lined up a morning hike to Mount Sneffels.

Fall colors exploding along Berthoud Pass this morning 🌄🍂 Golden aspens everywhere. Then came snow, slush, and slick roads 🥶 Totally worth it.

Wrapped up La Plata Peak’s Southern Approach with zero cramps today 🏔️💪 Usually I’m taking electrolyte tablets to keep the cramps at bay but not this time. Felt great out there.

Do you deal with cramps on big hikes?

After hiking La Plata Peak I found a quiet creek and sat there letting the mountains and fresh air wash over me. Nothing more relaxing. 🏔️💧 #Colorado #Nature #MountainLife

Huh you made it up here not bad human. Thought you would fall on that last scramble but you are standing there chest out. Alright you earned this one but do not get too comfy this is still my territory. Keep moving keep climbing and maybe you can hang around for a while.
