As many of my social media followers know, Ryan and I recently celebrated 16-years of marriage in Denver this month, however, that was not where we were supposed to be celebrating. Six months ago, we’d booked a trip to Mexico with the sincere belief that our nearly 15-year-old German Shepherd wasn’t going to make it until May. I’m grateful that we were wrong, she’s still here and this makes us
Last summer, when Visit Cheyenne put Terry Bison Ranch Resort on my agenda, I wasn’t sure what to think or what to expect. I’d driven by the ranch a dozen times while on my way to Wyoming via I25, but I knew nothing much about it and thought it was a tourist trap. It turns out, Terry Bison Ranch is a tourist trap but it’s also a hoot and unlike any other
‘Tis the season for dusty feet and funny tan lines; that’s right, it’s festival season and in this article, I’m going to share with you some music in the mountains that will be worth your drive time. Some of these events recur throughout the summer and many are free music festivals in the mountains.

Here in Colorado, I’ve watched the crowds grow substantially at places like Rocky Mountain National Park and the Great Sand Dunes. This isn’t a directive to stop visiting national parks. You should go but plan ahead. Midweek is the best time to visit and offseason
Vail has become one of my favorite places to visit, and I’ll be honest, a lot of this has to do with the food. Vail is tops when it comes to amazing food and I’m fairly sure I gain 10 pounds on every visit (and I don’t care). Seriously though, there are other reasons to visit Vail this summer and one reason is that it’s a true escape from everyday
Historically, Cheyenne was a thriving railway town, and in 1888, it was the wealthiest city per capita in the world (city-data.com). Erasmus Nagle built the home in 1887 for $50,000, a huge sum of money at that time, and the Nagle Warren Mansion lives up to its illustrious name—it really is a mansion.
