My Colorado Love

My Colorado Love

In 2012, my childhood friend, Duffy, got married. Luckily, he asked me to photograph the big event. How could I say no? After all, I had never visited Colorado before. So, I booked my trip making sure to include several extra days to travel. Duff was gracious enough to let me use their Jeep. The cliché was complete; me, my camera, and the open road. After being in Colorado Springs for the first few days, I was ready to head north to Denver. I called another childhood friend from my formative years, Eric. He picked me up at my hotel, and we hung out reminiscing until the wee hours of the morning. From there I stopped by Red Rocks, then headed south along the western side of the Rockies to the Great Sand Dunes. I was all alone, and it was magical. The dunes are massive; much bigger than they look from 10-miles away!

I definitely want a Jeep now. I drove to Cripple Creek one day and checked out some old mines and small shanties. I found a jeep path that went all the way back to Colorado Springs. It was narrow, but beautiful through the aspens. It was only wide enough for one vehicle.

Lancaster County is one of the best places to ride; a great mix of hills, rollers, flats, and super fun descents! That’s my buddy Brent back there.
