Just above the town of Mancos, there are endless hiking trails where you can explore and seldom see anyone.  This past weekend I hiked on some old closed off mining roads and never saw a soul!   At 10 am it was 56 degrees and after hiking 6 miles it had warmed up to 67!  Pretty sweet when Phoenix and Albuquerque areas are having record breaking heat this summer.

I am always looking for a hiking buddy!  Come explore with me and find out why Mancos is a great place to call home!!

Schools out and time to plan!  Southwest Colorado offers an array of great things to do and see in the Summer.  Some of my favorites are of course riding my caballos more!  Long days allow me to ride before work and I still get to work by 8:30 am!

I also love hiking and trail running.  Some of my favorite trails are Sharkstooth and Chicken Creek.  I decided to take up mountain biking.  So far just gone on a couple of rides.  Man oh man, did my legs ache!  Phils World, located between Mancos and Cortez is awesome as well as Boggie Draw outside of Dolores.  Both offer single track with some challenging obstacles.

I love eating outside and watching La Plata TV.  That’s just staring at the mountains.  Never get tired of my view from my deck to just breathe.

Want to find a great place to fish, or a new hiking trail?  Just give me a call, I’m here to help you fall in love with the area.

P.S.  The picture is my son, several years back and makes Mama happy to see that smile!
