A Colorado Summer

This summer, fresh out of college with my bachelor's degree, I took a position with the Nature Conservancy in Colorado. The internship is on a 100,000 acre cattle and bison ranch located in the San Luis Valley. The ranch is nestled between the mountains and only 15 minutes from the Sand Dunes here. It should be an interesting summer before I head off to California in search of permanent employment. Stay tuned....

Pagosa Springs


I highly recommend checking out Pagosa Springs if you are ever in south central Colorado. It is a quaint little mountain town that manages to provide all the amenities you would want without the neon lights and "city" facade. It is set off the San Luis River and it just has a really good vibe with it's sidewalks and simple architecture. It even has a public swimming pool that is actually a converted hot springs. So if the smell of sulfur in the air doesn't make you sick, check this town out. Way better than Alamosa, which is like every other homogenized city in America. The falls picture is Treasure Falls, right outside the city.
