If you want to fit in during trips to the outdoors, just look at the animals. They have it figured out.

There are two main types on here, the ones who are a clever and the ones that catch your eye. Well, I have always thought of myself as well rounded so I figured I would give it a shot!

Preparation is key to any successful outdoor adventure but it is important to remember the 11th essential...your car! Make sure your car is ready to take you to every trailhead by stopping in to Pep Boys for full car care including a Penzoil Oil Change.  You don't want your adventures to stop before they even start, so take care of your car first, then enjoy all the trails.  #ad #pepboysauto #carcare

Oh there is juat something about Rocky Mountain National Park!

Well, I can't say she wasn't right. Even if i was a little confused to start!

Well it took me about a year to recover from my last hike with my former college athlete co-worker. I thought I was in decent shape but it is always fun to get humbled by someone half your age. I am going to need an ice pack or 10. Thanks @showandkell_

You hear of all the good things about Arches but this video will show you none of those. I don't want to spoil how amazing this park is. It really is best to see with your own eyes. I love it in the winter and off seasons. It does get hot in the summer. But it is one of the moat unique places I have ever been. But dont take my word for it. Go see for yourself!

Sometimes life gives you lemons and sometimes you stumble on an amazing spot you have driven by a ton of times. Love living in a state so amazing that these little gems are everywhere. Bring on the lemonade!

Conventions can get confusing with all of the different rooms. They said go left but I headed right....out of the door and to a much better place.

A little Rocky Mountain Reset always does good for the soul!

The pace aure does change from the front of a long holiday weekend to the back. First day is nothing but optimism and by say 4 reality and arthritis are settling back in!

#funnyvideos #relatable #hiking #getoutside #screwitimtrying

Hope everyone had a safe holiday on the 4th. I feel that the plea to not set off fireworks were mostly ignored as Denver had about a million go off all night. Anyway, shoutout to the neighbors who stayed up late and paced themselves with amazing timing!

Mirror day at Rocky Mountain National Park. The rare day with little wind where Dream, Emerald, and Beear lake are still and reflect perfectly!

#natureisbeautiful #hikemoreworryless #exploremore #rockymountainnationalpark

July 2nd is National Wildland Firefighter day so lets try to make their jobs a little easier. There are fire restrictions or bans in nearly every Colorado county. Red Flag warnings trigger immediate bans in most places. Fireworks and camp fires are not a great idea this holiday. Especially anywhere that has a fire restriction in place. I can only speak to Colorado restrictions but through the west there are restrictions in several states due to drought, lake of snow winter snow and high winds. Please, please be careful and respect the firefighters who come to help us by not lighting fires, fireworks, or any open sparks or flames. Thanks.

Your type 2 friends, the ones who think yoga only work in a sauna and need each activity to cause pain, are lying to you. They arent having fun either, just hoping yo are miserable too!!

We all have that friend that ends up in the craziest situations and they all seem surprised when it happens because there were no signs. Its me, I am that friend!

Some of the simplest codes is to just change some letters. Not sure if that is what happened with cecret lake and trying to keep it a secret. Or perhaps it is just the best of typos, something I know all to well about!

Utah is juat showing off! If you think of juat Moab and the southern part, don't sleep on the Salt Lake Area. Stunning mountain views and hikes and really close to town.

There are two types of people, the ones that always say you are a half mile away and those who tell you every grueling detail of what is to come. Don't be afraid to lie a little to make us feel better when we are struggling!

#funnyvideos #hikemoreworryless #exploremore #relatable #wanderer

Wild flowers are blooming and it is nice to see so much Green in the mountains. Perfect hike to reset the mood and enjoy the outdoors!

#hikemoreworryless #exploremore #getoutside #wanderer #screwitimtrying

No matter how many hikes I do, inclines still are my least favorite part. The 4t degree incline for the last 200 yards before the peak is just completely unnecessary!

Happy Father's Day to all the Fathers out there. I had a great one and I miss him. Today is hard but I am trying to do something that he loved amd it feels like he has neem with me all day.

Nothing like seeing nature in their own habitat enjoying some breakfast before running off to nap under the trees. Not too far from my own post meal life!

Aspens are really popular in the fall but I have started liking them even more in the sprong and color for their bright green leaves and little quake!

#hiking #trees #getoutside #exploremore #screwitimtrying

I sure glad I explored a bit in western Colorado and found out that Rifle has its own Arch! It is part of a cool hike/bike trail complex but on one of the hiker only trails. Very Cool!

#hikemoreworryless #getoutside #exploremore #natureisbeautiful #wanderer

Heat is no joke and it can be as dangerous as anything in the summer. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water but also, be prepared to turn around if your water runs low. Hiking can be dangerous and it doesnt mater how in shape or fit you are, dehydration effects everyone. Be safe out there!

#hiking #dehydration #hikingsafety #hikingtips #trails

So much beauty in the world. It is nice to remember that places like this exist and the beauty that nature surrounds us with.

#hikemoreworryless #exploremore #getoutside #waterfalls #natureishealing

Why do all the best views come with hazards!

#hikemoreworryless #relatable #waterfalls #funnyvideos #getoutside

Thos hike around Sylvan lake was one of the most peaceful and recharging hikes i have ever done. I had so much fun on what was supposed to just be a quick moment to break up the drove home. It is always just the little tgings that change a day!

#hikemoreworryless #exploremore #getoutside #wanderer #screwitimtrying

Oh how those 90s music videos influenced us. They could solve our problems as much as a mix tape but we had to watch them all. When you think you drop your keys in the water its all you have to think about, until you find them again. Turns out it wasnt about keys at all!

#funny #storytime #hikemoreworryless #relatable #funnyvideos

It starts out a little startling thinking something is following you, then, you kinda just get lost in the moment. Then it is time to keep moving. This is why i only hike when the shadows are small!!!

#hikemoreworryless #funnyvideos #relatable #exploremore #getoutside

There are certain things that probably dont need to be studied!

#relatable #funnyvideos #bacon #screwitimtrying

This may have beem one of the most peaceful and calming hikes around a lake i have ever had. A good reminder that not all hikes have to be super challenging to give you the benefits of the outdoors!

#hikemoreworryless #getoutside #exploremore #wanderer #lakelife

Seeing wildlife is exciting but it can also be dangerous. Especially if there arent other people around. Make sure to keep your distance and enjoy nature from a distance.

#hikemoreworryless #funnyvideos #getoutside #relatable #exploremore

This is definitely a one star review. I mean who would want to see blue skies, pine trees, Aspen trees, rivers, waterfalls and mountains on a single hike. Maybe Colorado is trying to hard to impress us?

#hikemoreworryless #funnyvideos #explorecolorado #getoutside #screwitimtrying

Breaking news, it is a lot easier to walk over a lake when it is frozen! I almost exclusively hike this hike in winter and always just walk right across nymph lake. Took me a minute to find the actual trail hiking it in the summer. Seeing parks in different seasons is always amazing!

#hikemoreworryless #funnyvideos #relatable #exploremore #getoutside

Life is about compromise and sleep usually gets the short end of that stick!

#hikemoreworryless #relatable #funnyvideos #exploremore #getoutside

One of my all time favorite places. Usually I come here in the winter but every so often I ahow up in the summer. No matter the season, some of the best views around.

#hikemoreworryless #exploremore #getoutside #wanderer #screwitimtrying

Well the cat is put of the bag and it is my birthday. One more spin around the sun, a few more gray hairs but so many more amazing experiences and people that I have met. Can't wait to see what this year brings!

The things i do to entertain yall. My first gondola trip was a little interesting. Some winds, some shakes but alls well that ends well. Until the trip back down!

#trysomethingnew #scaredofheights #funnyvideos #relatable #screwitimtrying

Ever notice how it is always about 20 degrees colder at Emerald lake than anywhere else along the hike. Most of time it feels great...until that wind kicks up!

#hikemoreworryless #getoutside #funnyvideos #Outdoors #exploremore

I have pretty much mastered finding one specific tree on my hikes. That is the tree with the best places to sit down. In my defense, where I hike is mostly pine and Aspen so it does get a little monotonous. Hope this was helpful!

#hikemoreworryless #funnyvideos #relatable #tipsandtricks #getoutside

So much to do and so little time. That why it is important to prioritize mountain lakes over just about anything else out there!

#hikemoreworryless #exploremore #getoutside #funnyvideos #relatable

Hanging lake sure is something special. It is not an easy hike but it is worth it. Such a beautiful lake with cascading waterfalls and crystal clear water. So glad I was able to make it.

#hikemoreworryless #exploremore #getoutside #wanderer #screwitimtrying

You know you are in trouble when you have been struggling up a steep trail and you get close to the end and realize someone hauled railings up this far. That juat means it is going to get even steeper! But it is always worth it when they have railings!

#hikemoreworryless #exploremore #getoutside #funnyvideos #relatable

How do you see this photoset? Is the only person in the photo lonely or happy? Standing alone, nobody near but the fish. Wading knee deep as the sun sets over the canyon. It is amazing seeing these small moments in life but I have to know...are these photos lonely or happy?

One tank trips are the perfect way to adventure and explore all the nearby wonders while still sticking to a budget. This one-tank trip was from Denver to Glenwood Springs. Thanks to @bestwestern for sponsoring this trip and introducing me to the Antlers property. Where i could walk to the Hot Springs, gondola, adventure park and caves. Plus, all the wonderful restaurants in Glenwood Springs.

Starting to feel more like summer and hiking to my favorite places is always a great way to kick off the summer hiking places.
