Day Two. No time for coffee or tea. Shove in some oatmeal and pull on the same clothes as yesterday with the one extra layer I’d wished I’d had last night. The sun is still hours from rising but we have to find our spot before the elk can spot us. Yesterday, I’d learned that, “The elk are where the…

Day Five. Leaving the house early, it was a 45-minute drive to the pull-over I wanted to stop. This was my third choice of where I considered the elk would be found in the midst of rifle season. Alone, and armed only with a camera, the frozen grass shared my foot prints with anyone who would choose to follow. Blackness…

Away From The Crowds – Leche Creek Trail

Posted on October 10, 2011 by stepoutdoors | 0 Comments

When you think of Colorado the most often conjured thought are peaks jutting 14,000-feet into the Colorado blue sky. A line of rugged precipices bring “oh’s” and “ah’s” and then the gasping of breath that only climbing that elevation can bring. And while, yes, they are beautiful those of us who live here in southwest Colorado know that our South…

The Four Mile trail is one of Pagosa’s most popular hikes. Winding through a river valley to reach the Four Mile Falls, the trail has its ups and downs but can be classified between ‘easy’ and ‘intermediate.’ The biggest challenge for some may be the sum total 7 miles of hiking required to visit and return from the waterfall.

Hiking Fourmile Falls Trail in Pagosa Springs

Posted on June 23, 2011 by mmitchell | 0 Comments

By Stacy Boone of StepOutdoors Colorado I rather snickered to myself when I pulled into the parking lot. No one anywhere. Everything was quiet. From the trailhead to the waterfall that was plummeting hundreds of feet my only encounters would be of spider webs, nodding western red columbine and the shadows of the Englemann Spruce that stood strong and stoically…
