After finishing, I took a day off in East Glacier Park Village, anticipating heading into the park to play tourist. I quickly realized that I didn’t want to play tourist; I’d much rather be out in the backcountry away from people. But, I didn’t want to deal with permitting. So, I spent the day mostly…

Small town Colorado is refreshing. I woke up around 8am, and headed for breakfast at Chillin Internet Cafe. It’s a small joint. Like a movie set, I rolled in to a counter serve situation with a table of locals and the sheriff talking town gossip over morning coffee. I was greeted with a drawled hello…

It’s been hard to complain. Santa Fe has been a peaceful rest stop for the past week. My mom and uncle decided to drive 14 hours from San Diego to visit and provide company in my downtime. My mom brought out the snow gear I had planned for pick up in Chama — ice axe,…
