Colorado Explored: Disappointment Falls & Deadman Fire Lookout

The Adventuring Heidi

October 21, 2022 What to do, what to do on a Friday off from work? I debated weather - mostly wind - forecasts and went to bed with no plan. I originally wanted to explore the Thunder Pass area with a possible summit of Lulu Mountain, but the wind meant being above tree line would… Continue reading Colorado Explored: Disappointment Falls & Deadman Fire Lookout

Wyoming Hiked: Bridle Trail

The Adventuring Heidi

I love after a day of meetings and work obligations being able to get outside somehow. Not all the places I am for work are great for it, but thankfully Casper is! Casper is Wyoming's second largest city, and sits on the northern side of Casper Mountain, a large mountain that stretches west-to-east. Casper Mountain… Continue reading Wyoming Hiked: Bridle Trail

It seemed like the precipitation was holding off, so we quickly packed up the wet tent as best as we… Continue reading Falling for Yellowstone: Day 4 – Norris Geyser Basin, Mount Washburn, Mud Volcano, & Yellowstone Lake

Falling for Yellowstone: Day 3 – Mammoth Hot Springs, Wraith Falls, Tower Falls, Dunraven Pass, & Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

The Adventuring Heidi

October 2, 2022 The weather was not willing to play nice during this trip to Yellowstone. Upon waking up to another chilly, rainy day with precipitation forecasted throughout the day, Eric and I took to debating the day's itinerary I had planned. Ideally, we would be heading to Dunraven Pass to summit Mount Washburn in… Continue reading Falling for Yellowstone: Day 3 – Mammoth Hot Springs, Wraith Falls, Tower Falls, Dunraven Pass, & Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
