We hiked into strawberry springs to get in free! It’s a back road hike that leads you twisting and turning to the back doors of strawberry springs! It was beautiful! #adventure
About 30 minutes outside of Steamboat Springs. There is a lot of national forest with free camping and lots of cheap $10 camping as well. #WeekendGetAway #Colorado #Camping #Hiking

Fish Creek Falls - about 5 miles out of the Steamboat Springs township... this was at the end of winter so a lot of snow melt... nice easy hiking paths take you to different elevations to view the falls... don't forget to take some cash to pay for your entrance - there is no signage on the way telling you there is a fee and I had to circle back to town as the rangers are constantly checking the parking lot #AquaTrove

Patrolman Chris Logsdon was killed in a vehicle accident after being run off the road by another driver. He was responding to a call of the drunk driver on Interstate 25 north of Wheatland. When he arrived on the scene the suspect vehicle was driving towards him on the wrong side of the road. Patrolman Logsdon swerved to avoid an accident, causing his Camaro police cruiser to flip several times. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect turned out to not being a drunk driver, but rather a 92-year-old man who was confused. Patrolman Logsdon is survived by his wife and four children.

On the way down the mountain, after an evening of a recent shoot, this scene presented itself to me. I was lucky to get it before it disappeared.
