In winter, when the normal trails are muddy or snow covered, the paved road provides a hard surface to hike on. The road may be closed to vehicles or it will have very little traffic. It is a 4.2 mile round trip to the lookout point, with the option to continue down to the lake by the boat ramp. At the ... Read Full Story

The Deep Creek Trail travels for about 13 miles along the north side of the Telluride Valley in southwest Colorado. The east trail connection is along the western loop of the Jeb Wiebe Trail .

There doesn’t appear to be any parking in the trail head area. At the ... Read Full Story

As I was thinking about our National Parks and the series I started thinking about some of the more memorable visits. I realized that the visits to each park have been memorable in their own way. One park visit which we may not ever get to repeat again, hence, an incredible special visit was to Mesa Verde in July 2006. Now we have been to Mesa Verde before but this trip was different. We’d originally planned a grandkids trip to the...
