Hi, I’m Katie!

I ❤ spending time with my family exploring the mountains, tending to my garden, and traveling (back when that was still a thing).

here’s a tip.

Don’t fart in a spacesuit.

It’s been a beautiful week in #Colorado. C’mon summer. ☀️ . . . #lovewhereyoulive #getoutside #longmontcolorado Sunset over the lake. Swipe for the time lapse. #longmontcolorado #lovewhereyoulive #getoutside ❄️ Made our way to RMNP yesterday to get everyone out of the house. We played for awhile at Sprague Lake watching the snow fall. The ice was thick and there were a few groups of skaters, some playing hockey. We found a cool snow triforce left on the boardwalk, played on the ice, and then drove back down out of the snow to check out Moraine meadow and the burn area from the fire this fall. #getoutside #colorado #brrrrr #itwasagoodday #snow #rmnpadventures It was a good day. Got out for a walk around Coot Lake, picked up cheeseburgers from Larkburger, and followed up with a post-burger walk at Cottonwood Trail. #getoutside #colorado #larkburgerboulder Some low fog rolling over the lake this morning 🌄 Winter drive through RMNP with a quick tromp around Bear Lake in the snow. #getoutside #colorado #staycation #rmnp Saturday hike. Mt. Sanitas via Lion’s Lair. #getoutside #colorado #sogratefultoliveinthiscorneroftheworld #wayoverfiltered #ilostthefirstedits #sotoobadthisiswhatyouget 😂 Short walk in Boulder for some fresh air, followed by a feast from @georgiaboysbbq #getoutside #evenwhenitschilly #whatswiththewindthough #somuchgoodfood “We all travel the milky way together, trees and men.” — John Muir Last week I took my bike up to Fort Collins to ride the Poudre Trail. While I was out, the #cameronpeakfire grew tremendously, and the skies filled with smoke. There are no filters on these images. I spent yesterday on an un-rushed, 9-mile hike in RMNP that took me to five lakes and a waterfall, up mountainsides with sweeping valley views, and through quiet forests blanketed in fall colors. I emerged from the trail five hours and a thousand feet of elevation gain behind me, tired but refreshed, and feeling grateful to live within driving distance of places so magical. #getoutside #coloradolife #rmnp #fallinthemountains #grateful

quick thoughts.

“And it’s gonna get easier and easier, and more and more convenient, and more and more pleasurable, to be alone with images on a screen, given to us by people who do not love us but want our money.” – David Foster Wallace speaking with David Lipsky. 1996. (AOCYEUBY pg. 86)

The fire-red sunsets have been beautiful the past few days. I just wish they weren’t the result of the mountains actually being on fire. 😞 #colorado #wildfiresunsets #smokyskies

“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” J.R.R. Tolkien

“Wherever I am and whatever is occurring in my life, I am responsible for being there and I am responsible for changing it if it isn’t satisfactory.” – John C. Lilly, The Deep Self
