Give ’em the Shaft

With snow still nested upon the areas in Colorado above timberline, I desperately searched for adventure in lower areas. Though Tyler, now working a sweet gig for Chatfield State Park, could not join, adventure was still to be had. Luckily, my friend Anica from high school decided to join me on a hike from the […]

Campbell Ramble

Hi everyone! I know it’s been a few months since we posted anything, but we are not gone. Now that winter is on the retreat, we’ll soon be back to a more regular hiking schedule. That means more amazing pictures and uninspired writing for you all! For this particular adventure we made the short hike […]

The Year in Review

We don’t only write about and photograph our adventures – Skyler also has a tradition of compiling footage from what we do to make a video based “compilation of adventure” which (for this Fall semester) can be seen right here! The Year in Review: From the desk of Tyler Greetings loyal fans and casual perusers! It’s […]

Oh Henry, Where Art Thou?

In a previous post, Order of the White Lottis, an account was made of trying to reach Henry Lake in the Fossil Ridge Wilderness. That attempt didn’t work out, and so we decided to give the South Lottis trail another go this last Saturday (October 24th). We departed Gunnison around noon and made the drive […]

A Path Less Traveled

As indicated by the lack of recent posts from either Skyler or I, school has started!  In our finite wisdom, we both decided to sign up for a class that took place during the two weeks prior to the official school start day. It was called Colorado Ecoregions. Essentially, this upper division biology course would […]

A Coal Day in Hell

Like many great days, this one started with… classes? Yes, this adventure actually happened on a Thursday, so Skyler and I were hard at work until the afternoon. Upon fleeing geology lab, Skyler suggested that we actually go and do something, rather than a spend another evening working on projects. I couldn’t agree more, and […]

We All Needle Little Love

Good day faithful followers and casual perusers! What follows here will be a fascinating account of excitement and intrigue… in two parts! Read in awe as the Overcast Adventurers brave the Black Canyon of the Gunnison not once, but twice! The Black Canyon is an ancient geologic feature in the Southwest quadrant of Colorado, roughly […]

Order of the White Lottis

Yes sir, that says lottis. Not lotus. Although, you might as well pronounce them the same way and save yourself the embarrassment of sounding weird when you discuss this post. Why the distinction? Because we’re about to go on a journey down the South Lottis trail, kids. It’s been a bit since we last made […]

Pinnacle-ada

With a pun that great, you’re probably expecting this post to be hilarious. Well, drop those expectations right now. The sooner, the better. What we do here is serious business. Anyhow, the morning began with an unsuccessful run of us trying to sight Bald Eagles north of Almont, Colorado. Or, rather, Skyler tried to find […]
