Holy wildflowers! If you can catch this trail at the right time you’ll be rewarded with thousands of brightly colored flowers along the way. Even without the flowers, the views are stunning! This trail starts out winding through a neighborhood before it opens up near some powerlines (don’t worry, they aren’t close up for long.) This has a fair amount of elevation gain but it’s never too challenging.
Dogs are allowed on leash!

Snowmass is one of my favorite spots in Colorado and every time I go I fall more in love. On the slopes I had one of my best ski days ever (long, spacious runs without the crowds but incredible powder.) To visit in the summer was an absolute delight. It has all...
I almost hate to tell anyone about Frisco because it's one of my favorite towns in Colorado and I feel like it's a little overlooked by visitors coming in for the resort towns nearby. Located just off I-70 nestled in between the mountains and Lake Dillon, it's the...
Finding the right pair of hiking boots can be a challenge. Everyone's feet are different so what works well for one person may not for another. I've worn $400 boots that hurt my feet terribly and $30 outlet boots that I wore until there were literal holes. I...
Like everyone who steps foot on the island of Maui, I have absolutely fallen in love. Of course there are the pristine beaches where sea turtles sunbathe, the delicious and impossibly fresh local food but then there's the hiking and like the rest, it's in a league...

I can be a total Colorado snob when it comes to hiking, but sometimes it’s nice to mix things up and I’m so glad I made the 5 hour trek up to the Black Hills in South Dakota! Thank you to my dear friend, Jennifer who suggested this safe, socially distanced road...
It's here! I've wanted to do hoodies & beanies for Approachable Outdoors for a year now so it's exciting to see them finally on sale! They're incredibly soft - I've been living in my blue hoodie & the pom beanie.Just as last year, all proceeds are going to...
I haven't spent any substantial time in Colorado Springs in years, so I was so delighted to take a weekend and totally relax in this very beautiful part of our state. I hadn't explored Garden of the Gods since college but it's as beauitful as ever. However, my very...
I've dreamed about going to Banff for years. I had pictures and videos saved on Instagram and Tik Tok knowing one day I'd see that crystal blue/turquoise water in person. And it absolutely didn't disappoint.I'm hard to impress when it comes to mountains but I was...
After the Wine & Wildflower Hike at the Vail Wine Classic, I couldn't wait for the event at the Breckenridge Wine Classic in September. And this one was extra special because it was my very first time leading a guided hike! The Wine & Wildflower Hike is one...
“To be honest, the idea totally terrifies me.” “Well, then you have to do it.” It was 4:00am and I was getting ready in the Green Room at Fox31 with my co-anchor, Ashley Ryan. As we were applying the obnoxious amount of TV makeup required to go on air I was filling...
This was my first year at the Vail Wine Classic and it was an absolute blast. As expected, the wine was exceptional and getting to meet the people behind the wine made it all the more special. But maybe the best part was the Wine & Wildflower hike! I'm going to...
