Mountain House Pro Packs dehydrated food

You know I do love to grill, and some burgers or chili while camping is always great but when your're out and that's just not an option, the Mountain House Pro Packs will do the trick! And you wont be eating sawdust, I mean it, these things are actually GREAT! I admit I was skeptical at first but if I had not known it was dehydrated there would have been no way I could tell, yes, they're that good. Even half way through the steaming phase I thought the concoction still looked a bit questionable but after it was all done and stirred properly, color me surprised. The breakfast scramble, biscuits and gravy and the chili mac we tried were all fantastic.With tons of options for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even desert just because you are out in the elements doesn't mean you have to sacrifice on flavor. Add water, let it do its thing and then dig in, not much to it. Eat it out of the bag for easy clean up and you only end up using a utensil and a pot for the water.

★★★★☆ 4 out of 5 stars, I had to subtract one because they are a bit pricey and not all portions are a true "2 servings" but they really are tasty.

The Aspens @ Kenosha Pass

Image
Kenosha Pass is an easier hike that gives adventurers an opportunity to see spectacular fall colors and experience part of the famed "Colorado Trail" . Lots of people will make the drive out only to hop out and take a few pictures before getting back in the car and heading back but the secret is, to see the best stuff, you have to hike a bit. This trail extends on both sides of 285, you will find bikers, hikers and doggos too. During peak "leaf season", typically late September to early October this trail will be packed with folks trying to get their best photos and experience all those warm colors before it gets cold. Last year we came about a week late. The leaves had already fallen and the aspens were bare but it made for some truly amazing (and a bit creepy) black and white shots, like this one. While driving Guanella Pass to Mt.Bierstadt last weekend we took note of the color change and made plans right then to head to Kenosha Pass the following weekend. Fee

St. Elmo Ghost Town/Mushroom Gulch.

Image
Ever since we arrived here in Colorado, Say and I have wanted to check out St. Elmo to get some good photos, video and well, check out a GHOST TOWN!!!. So finally, after a year we loaded up the car and headed out into the ether labor day weekend to see what we could see.  The drive to St. Elmo was nice, after you exit the main road you have quite the trek via dirt road to make it to the town. I'd say about 20 minutes or so driving through the national parks and forest to get there. WIKI- St. Elmo  is a ghost town  in Chafee County,Colorado.   Founded in 1880, St. Elmo lies in the heart of the Sawatch Range , southwest of Buena Vista  and sits at an elevation of 9,961 feet. Nearly 2,000  people settled in this town when mining for gold and silver  started. The mining industry started to decline in the early 1920s, and in 1922, the railroad discontinued service.  It is one of Colorado's  best-preserved ghost towns . It was certainly worth the drive for us however

Mt. Bierstadt : Our First 14'er

Image
Out of all the 14'ers in Colorado we picked Bierstadt because we had heard and read that is was an easier hike to start with when compared to some of the other more difficult and notorious 14'ers. What is a 14'er you ask? Well, a 14'er is a mountain peak with an elevation of at least 14,000 ft. There are 96 14'ers in the United States all west of the Mississippi with 58 located in Colorado.  As the day approached we spent a good amount of time mentally preparing ourselves and reading up on what we might need to pack , how to prepare and what to expect.   Trial Snapshot: Mt. Bierstadt Hike Distance -1-7 miles round trip Difficulty -Easy-Difficult Duration-1-6 hours Trail Type-Out and Back  Elevation Gain-Up to 2400' Seasons-Best Late Spring to Fall Dogs-Allowed on Leash but discouraged bc of the fragile ecosystem Hike Trail Map - Click for a Trail Map Denver Drive Time-1 hr 30 min Directions- Click for Google Map Nearest Town-Georg
