Impossibly, I am now the (part) owner of a lil miner’s cabin in Idaho Springs, Colorado. I *could not* be happier. It is perfect. It is epic. I love it. I want to hug the cabin itself (and almost could). I want to hug the view, but simultaneously fling my arms wide because I couldn’t…
!Y feliz cumpleanos a mi amiga de la aventura! My last Mexico trip of 2022 brought me to the beautiful if touristy Cabo San Lucas, Mexico … where I got to swim with schools of fish and snorkel with a sea lion! I ate on of the best meals of my life at Manta, which…
100% Recycled Down! How cool is this?? Patagonia has created their signature jackets and vests with recycled down. It’s a mix of 600-fill-power goose and duck down reclaimed from used items (mostly quilts and pillows), which is cleaned, sorted and resurrected. It offers identical performance benefits to virgin down. As if I wasn’t obsessed with…
You guys, I know I’ve fallen in love before—with Lake Tahoe over the 4th of July two years ago, with Lake Ear or whatever it’s called in Sandpoint, Idaho—but this time it’s really real. I am in love with a cabin. On Aspen Mountain. That you get to by riding in the back of a pickup…
Last weekend’s trip to Idaho was mind-bogglingly perfect. Literally everything went right. We packed a ton of fun stuff into one long weekend, but the most amazing part of the trip was the people: five near-strangers (Bromance and I already had a, well, bromance) became instant best friends (#bestspuds). From the moment the guys picked…
This is real life. #nofilter More reasons to go to Idaho: Go to Idaho: Lake Pend Oreille (pronounced: pond-ə-ray) Deer Ridge Lookout in the Purcell mountain range Small House Winery Eichardt’s. I hear they have a great salad (get the garlic fries). Trinity at City Beach. I call it Tripity, ok? P.A.T.I.O.
I’m back home (one of ’em anyway) for the wedding of yet another couple I successfully set up! I can’t wait to watch these two get married in the beautiful mountains. I’ve been here for a few days, and there’s just no place in the world like Aspen.
It’s hard to leave Aspen. Which must explain why in the three summers I’ve spent in Aspen, I’ve never made it to Telluride. However, nestled in the very-different-from-the-Rockies San Juan Mountains, Telluride (elevation: 8,750 ft.) lies in a box canyon, surrounded on three sides by 14,000-foot peaks, which makes for something awesome. Plus it connects to…
Last summer, I was coaching boot camp and using the abundant hiking trails in Aspen as training tools. The hiking in Aspen is absolutely incredible, but what’s even more incredible is the fact that we don’t even have to get in a car to embark on some great hikes. Here’s a rundown of five hikes…
A few days ago, I mentioned that I was in San Diego for a conference. I also talked about how I couldn’t get enough of the beach. I literally could not get enough. I went to PB (as the cool kids call it). I went to Coronado Beach. I went to Corona del Mar Beach.…
