Dear Colorado, you have totally captured my heart.
Annie and I just wrapped up an amazing three-week adventure in Colorado, and wow, was it an unforgettable experience! From weddings to reuniting with friends to, best of all, hiking through one of the best backpacking trails in the country. I took tons of photos, videos, and time-lapse photography on the trip, and the footage is sure to make the upcoming season of CoreVibe content shine. It’s going to be a busy month, but I can’t wait to share more photos and stories from the trip.

We managed to walk the 160-mile Collegiate Peaks Loop in 11 days. I haven’t seen a detailed post about this route yet, so I’ll be putting together a full guide to help those who want to take on this incredible adventure. The Collegiate Peaks Loop connects the Eastern and Western Colorado Trail around the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness. The new edition of the Colorado Trail Data Book includes both routes, which makes trip planning a breeze. The west side of the loop is usually located above the tree line and is part of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. The trail is at a higher elevation and has many challenging climbs, but the scenery and rewards along the way are definitely worth it.

It feels good to be back, but I have a full schedule. Currently, I’m focusing on writing content for next season’s CoreVibe, which is going well. I really value your feedback, so if you’d like to help us create video content for the next season, feel free to take this short survey. In addition to content for the new season of CoreVibe, I will also be writing several blog posts about the Collegiate Peaks Loop and other exciting topics. Here are some of the blog posts I plan to write. If there are other topics you are interested in or would like to learn more about, please leave a comment and I will do my best to accommodate you.

It feels so good to be back home in Portland and I can’t wait to get back to the world of CoreVibe. Thank you so much for all the kind comments and emails I received while I was away. I will be responding to each of them over the next few days.
Take care and I look forward to speaking with you again!
