Flatirons

by Ryan Behner


Flatirons

My friend Ryan took this last week. This is why we live here. This is why I feel so lucky to have found this place.

The spot the photo was taken is off of CO-93, just south of the town of Boulder. Eldorado Canyon (a state park, known for its rock climbing) is on the very left of the photo, Bear Peak (one of my favorite in-town hikes is the tallest visible peak, and the town itself starts just of the ridge, out of sight, on the right side of the photograph.

See more of Ryan’s photos on his photo blog or click the photo to head over to his flickr.

Mount Evans Rainbow


Mount Evans Rainbow

I was looking for something the other day and ran across this scan. According to the file, I scanned it back in 2002, but I think I took the photo sometime in the nineties, when I was in middle school.

It’s not that great of a photo technically-speaking, but it’s personally significant. Mount Evans was one of the first places that I really connected with when my family moved out to Colorado. Coming from the East Coast, it’s a huge part of the beginning in my romance with the West.

I took this on an early summer hike last year in the Indian Peaks Wilderness just west of Boulder. I’m ready for spring, summer, and more awesome adventures in places like this.

(a little video from the same hike.)

Training in the Aspen area


Can’t embed this one because it’s on Facebook, but I’m posting to make a quick point: videos like these are what make social media fun. Lance Armstrong consistently uses social media well to connect with his fans. As one of those fans, I’m loving it – and, sadly, I haven’t been on a big regularly in a couple years.

Castleton And Diamond Free Solo

Steph Davis on Life & Climbing


I’m blown away by the climbs that Steph Davis does and the apparent ease with which she tackles huge challenges like free soloing and base jumping. I got to meet her briefly when she dropped by to visit my officemate, Andrew Hyde. As he says, “[Davis] is certainly my most badass friend.”

If you enjoy the vid, check out the first minute of this other one and watch her free solo a tower in Utah and then jump off of it.

Awesomeness.

On a Perfect Day.


Third Flatiron

Ok, I’m a bit bummed that I haven’t done any new photography in a while, but we just had a cold, light dusting of snow in town over the night, and the flatirons looked exactly like this today, minus the sun.

Sandbeach Lake

hiking in rmnp this fall


Sandbeach Lake

Did a nice fall hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. We caught the fall color perfectly. I have to say, Sandbeach Lake is probably the oddest high-mountain lake I have ever seen. In general, mountain lakes aren’t known for their sandy beaches. And this one not only has a beach, but it’s large, yet confined to only one side of the lake. Very weird.
