Rocky Mountain National Park: An Indigenous History

May 18th, 2022

Do you know who occupied the land you call home before you did? Do you know the history of languages, religious practices, community agriculture, and conservation efforts embedded in the rock and soil under your feet? Do you know who lived, worked, died, and thrived in the mountains and valleys around you before North America […]

Cameron Peak Fire – in the Aftermath

March 17th, 2022

From June to August 2021, I was a Crew Leader for the Rocky Mountain Conservancy – Conservation Corps stationed in the Canyon Lakes District of northern Colorado.

Conservation Corps Halfway Mark

July 29th, 2021

After a long Fourth of July weekend, the Moraine Trail Crew came back ready and rested for week 5. As soon as we all got back to camp, we fell back into routine, only this time with a little more awareness of the knowledge and experience we had gained over the last couple weeks. This […]

Historic Trail Ridge Road – An Adventure Through Time

July 8th, 2021

Looking at a map of Rocky Mountain National Park, one could say that there aren’t many roads in the park. Bear Lake Road, Old Fall River Road, and Trail Ridge Road. That’s it for primary roads in the park. In fact, the park is designated 95% Wilderness, and most of the lakes and peaks that […]
