    I just moved from New York City to Denver. So I wasn’t really familiar with the surroundings of my new home and the environment here was very different from New York as well.

When My Aunt and Uncle found out I never went camping. They immediately set a date and called to reserve a camping spot in a…

    Every day I try harder than the day before. I genuinely wish this had been the case my entire life, but that is just not true. When I first began my college career, I felt adrift in a world that was rapidly maturing without me. I excelled in the classes I enjoyed, and coasted with minimal effort in those I found less appealing, assuming that I continued to go at all. My friends were contemplating the classes which would propel them into their careers, while I reflected upon the pervasive feeling…

    What I love most about Iron Mountain is you’re never too far away from the wilderness. I routinely have deer, rabbits, and other woodland critters in my yard, and it’s not uncommon to come across bears, coyotes, or even moose on the way to exams. Outside of work, there is no shortage of camping, boating, fishing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, hunting, and hiking opportunities. The Fumee Lake Natural Area, just outside of Iron Mountain, has miles of trails to enjoy scenic views, wild life and…

    Hard Work Pays Off I take many vacations, and do a lot of hiking. Though, I have to say, Ice Lake is one of my favorites. The trailhead for Ice Lake starts in Silverton/Ouray, and from there it is an eight mile hike, and a 2,430 elevation gain. We were staying in Ouray at the time, when we did the hike. Before the hike, we got lots of water, food, and candy. When we started the hike it was decent weather, but we were still dressed in layers. We kept hiking up switchbacks until we…

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be in the wild? Do you envision dangerous animals and food cooked over a fire you had to build? One way that you can have that experience is by camping on a nature preserve or at a large lake. I have camped many times while growing up but the two places I remember the most would be Wichita Mountains or Lake DeGrey. Both of the places are places that people can go camping at if they are looking to get out of the city. Wichita Mountains is a better…

    My first week at the Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation, or Camp Hohn as everyone called it, was probably one of the worst weeks of my life. The camp looked nice on paper; it was described as a 120-acre camp on the banks of the Lake of the Ozarks, with bluffs overlooking the lake and many campsites,all surrounded by a five mile nature trail. However, they failed to include in the brochure that due to the camps size, the classes available to take were extremely spread out. To get to the…
