HIKING AS TYPE II FUN
As I reflect on this past year and the activities that filled it, I look back to writing this post on embracing childlike joy early on.

WHERE TO SEE THE BEST WILDFLOWERS IN COLORADO

My all time favorite season is wildflower season so I was very happy. Different seasons can change the look and feel of hiking trails significantly. The pop of color lining the trailsContinue reading “WHERE TO SEE THE BEST WILDFLOWERS IN COLORADO”
