Here are a few shots from a trip to Denver we took early in November. The pictures were taken along the Lariat Loop Trail, which we picked up in Morrison. Our first stop was at Red Rocks, scene of many wonderful memories over the past 30 years. It’s hard to resist taking a break alongside … Read more
Red Rocks Amphitheater, west of Denver near the small town of Morrison, is a majestic place to see a concert, or for that matter, just to visit. Red Rocks! Just to hear the name invokes fond memories for almost all deadheads, as the Grateful Dead were known for performing some amazing concerts in this unbelievable … Read more
Ever since seeing a photo of Maroon Bells a few years back, I’ve wanted to go see them in person. We usually go the Boulder area when we visit Colorado, so I knew it would take special planning to visit a location that’s a good 5 hour drive from Boulder. We initially planned to stay … Read more
I managed to get in two bike rides during a recent visit to Colorado to view the fall colors. The first was a decent length ride in Aurora, similar to a ride I did a couple of years ago. (Same trail, just didn’t ride quite as far.) The second ride, while much shorter, was unique … Read more
In June we went to Boulder to catch the Dead & Company shows on Friday and Saturday. That was fun, as expected. The weather was great, the music was hot and it was great to be there! On the Thursday before, we were out visiting the Rocky Mountains, and drove out to Bear Lake. I … Read more

The road is 11 miles long, and it took us about 90 minutes to travel. It was a … Read more
When we visit Boulder we usually stay in Louisville. It’s only a few miles away and we like the hotel where we stay. There are some bike trails in Louisville, and this last trip I explored them quite a bit. I’ve ridden the trails in the area a few times now and am finally getting … Read more

Though it was threatening rain when I started it ended up being so nice I wound up riding to the end of the trail before turning around. Nice ride,13 miles, ending at 235 miles total for June, … Read more
After half a winter with virtually no snow, we decided to head west to the mountains of Colorado in late January. Of course, during the few days we were gone Lindsborg received a (light) winter snow; go figure. In any case Boulder, Estes Park and the surrounding area was beautiful as always, and there was … Read more
