near fort knox
This is a great partner hike if you're exploring outside of Louisville, the rolling hills and cobblestone creek beds make for a scenic drive to and from the trail head.

great place on a hot day
Its cool to get to see all the history, then take a great swim at this smaller beach. I guess a photography excursion is worth it, but come here for the beach.

best waterfall in the Smokies
This hike is worth the effort and is a right of passage of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I have visited it in all seasons.

great half day after Cheyenne
Great way to break up the Cheyenne to Yellowstone road trip. The Mountains are some of the most beautiful I have seen in the Rockies.

Do the candle light tour
I explored with the wild cave trip under candlelight. Pretty awesome, but a few tight squeezes and you will get dirty and it takes most of the day. All worth it.

one of the biggest caves on earth...in...South Dakota?
Get out of the vast grassland and take a tour to mix up your trip to the Black Hills. I just took a quick basic tour due to time constraints.

best way to see the monument imo
If you're not climbing to the top but want the best experience in the park, hike this trail.

great stop on a road trip from Denver to the 4 corners region
Grand Junction is one of the last larger areas with amenities prior to reaching the 4 corners region of Colorado. Only small towns after this.

amazing fishing
Hire a guide and catch unlimited fish here. It is a legendary trout stream for a reason.

great stop to the rest of Colorado
I can say I crossed the highest suspension bridge. Stretched my legs, took some great photos and after an hour got back on the road.

awesome to do in the am
Even with the bike lanes, if you go early you will have less crowds and can afford to look around and see the awesome red rocks of GOTG area.

easy trail to awesome falls with half the crowd
Because this part of the park has a separate entrance, this is a great hike with a lot of waterfalls. It is also a great place to see wildlife and fish for wild brook trout.

my entry into night photography
I wish I would have gotten experience prior to coming to the park. Either way, this was awesome to see the full night sky and millions of stars with hardly a sole around.

My favorite trail, and everyone elses also.
Make sure you get to the trail as early as possible. A great hike and even better photography opportunity.

make sure to get to the trail head before dawn.
This parking lot is one of the busiest in the Rockies and I always make sure to get here prior to sunrise to make sure I had a space.

Summit Counties best golden hour
After a day in Frisco or Silverthorne, make sure to find a spot in the campground or a pull out to view the sun set over the rockies. It shouldnt be to crowded to scout out a great spot ahead of time.

sea caves
Do this just to see the amazing sea caves unspoiled and not as crowded as those on the mainland.

great quick stop with a waterfall
I thought other waterfalls in the area were better, but this was a good stopping point and nice relaxing couple hours at the falls. Worth a stop.
