Throughout the past three summers, it’s no doubt that my backpacking trips have taken me to some of the coolest spots and given me quite the shows for sunrise and sunset. Spanning across the state I’ve been lucky enough to hike outside Steamboat, through the Indian Peaks Wilderness, near the Continental Divide outside Aspen, and all the way down in the Sangre De Cristo range in Crestone. My hope is the trips will only increase year by year.
