I Was Duped

Photo Credits lululemon-athletica

Do you ever feel like you have been duped? I received an email a few weeks ago regarding a running clinic here in Telluride.  My first inclination was to blow it off, but then several friends asked if I was going to “do it”.  My first thought was HELL NO- I quit running about...

Trout Lake

Trout Lake

We recently headed out to Trout Lake for some kayaking and fishing. In the first five minutes I somehow managed to snap my daughter’s fishing pole in half with my paddle, but that did not stop us! We did a little surgery on the fishing pole, allowing her to troll by holding the fishing...

Enjoy Your Local Beach

Ridgway Reservoir

Grab your inflatables, friends, sand toys for the little people, snacks, a comfy chair and a good book and spend the day at the Ridgway Reservoir. I promise you that your kids, regardless of their age, will sleep long and heavy afterwards.

Sidenote: Ridgway State Park Visitor Center has some great educational activities this summer. And don’t miss Huck Finn Day on July 16th at Pa Co Chu Puk.

To access the trail head, head up to Dave Wood Road in Montrose. You’ll pass the christmas tree farm, and then a bank of mailboxes on the right....

Canyonlands

San Juan Parent - Canyonlands

We recently went with a group to the Needles District of Canyonlands and camped at Squaw Flats Group campsite. Been there? It is a gorgeous part of the world, and it’s a mere a 4-5 hours away (depending which way you go and where you started from). Let me tell you – I loved...

Wind Sux

San Juan Parent - Wind Sux

Wind is nasty, horrible, evil, irritating, sanity breaking, allergy inducing, cranky making and it wins, every time.  This time of year, it blows reliably every afternoon and often through the night too. The first year I lived here I naively decided to throw an outside spring themed birthday party for my daughter in May....
