I could See Forever.


As summer in Telluride comes to an end, I have made a list of activities I'm trying to fit in. One of which was to hike the See Forever trail. This trail is originally a ski run known for its gorgeous views of mountains. You can see all the way into Utah! Since I was in awe of the view in the winter, I made a promise to myself that I would see it in the summer. It was a steep hike but well worth it. After I made it to the top I decided since I had hiked up the worst part I would continue on and do the See Forever/Bear Creek loop. It was a wonderful 8 mile hike filled with tons of wildflowers, gorgeous views, and some wildlife. The loop was my first long solo hike and I'm damn proud that I did it!

Hikes & Thoughts

I've been feeling a little out of my element - feeling like my boot stompin' self does better near a city. I have been missing the energy of a fast paced life and I've been missing having a Target closer than 1hr away. Luckily, a few hikes and a game of Cards Against Humanity with new friends helped change my mind. I'm beginning to think that spending a year a little off the grid might be just what I need.

I wanted to share some photos from my hikes last week. You can see how the seasons are a little confused here. One hike was so reminiscent of wintertime, whereas the second hike was right on cue with fall. Personally, I'm digging the fall colors. I still have yet to satisfy my pumpkin flavored everything craving, so I'm glad I have a little more fall left!
