EXHILERATING EXPEDITION: COLORADO | CRESTED BUTTE, CO

Wow.  Not many words can be describe the sheer beauty and unbelievable experiences one can have while hiking through Colorado.  As I turned 30, I asked myself a plethora of questions.  “Where am I going?  What am I doing? Who will be there to experience it with me?”  And so much more.  In 2016 these people who will experience it with me would grow exponentially.  Namingly photographer’s within the area that I’ve worked many weddings with.  One of these individuals is a fellow who goes by Matthew.  He and his brother had an unbelievable opportunity.  Their aunt, a 30 year native to Colorado had real-estate within the small ski town of Crested Butte.  Little did I know, we would hike nearly 30 miles in 3 days of some of the coolest most awe inspiring landscapes.  I didn’t “feel” up to the task but I said I HAVE to….theres no if’s ands or buts.  Each day we hiked to 3 12,000ft summits and saw some super super radical Aspen trees that leave could electrify your views.  Most inspiring was a 13+ mile, 6 and a half hour hike from the foothills of Crested Butte all the way to Aspen.  Although Aspen wasn’t specifically on the list to visit, being able to hike there was an experience I can say I’ll hold with me for a lifetime.  The landscape is calling my name, I WILL be back.
