I saw this cardboard sign on the ground next a garbage bin on Haight Street in San Francisco. Although it was cool to see the neighborhood where Jerry and Janis once hung, the Upper Haight today is mostly filled with homeless people and hippy posers. But if you make the trip, it’s worth checking out [...]

By Stephen Bugno I don’t know why I thought it would be a good idea to visit Death Valley in the middle of the summer. It’s eight pm and we are shirtless in our campground preparing dinner. Gilbert is cooking up some garlic scrambled eggs for dinner. We are sweating. Our mouths constantly feel dry. [...]

Here Gilbert readies to take a shot on the pool table in this country dive bar just on the Nevada side of the border south of Amargosa Valley. It was one last chance to gamble, shot pool, and drink a Bud in a bottle before driving down into Death Valley. The outside of the bar [...]

By Stephen Bugno 1:43 am. St. George, Utah. At Denny’s refueling. The only place in town that’s open. Two cups of coffee down. Two hours to Vegas to go. We’re getting wired for the drive. Not planning on sleeping tonight. We will hit the casino floor when we arrive. Excaliber, Luxur, Paris. We’ve got two [...]

By Stephen Bugno We camped the night before on BLM land up on the Devil’s Backbone Road, the original road from Boulder to Escalante, close to the last place in the continental US to be mapped. Up until 1940, the US Postal Service was still delivering mail to Boulder, Utah by mule train across the [...]

By Stephen Bugno Leaving Winter Park on our way south we would cross the Continental Divide three times before day’s end. A few miles before Vail we exit I-70 towards Breckenridge, where we stopped at Breckenridge Brewery’s Brew Pub to share an eight-glass sampler. Through the Hoosier Pass, we just barely descend into Alma, the [...]

We had just visited Canyonlands National Park Needles District after camping the night before at the base of the Abajo Mountains in Manti-La Sal National Forest above Monticello, UT when we were driving back through town and read the sign on the coffee shop: closed. This town of about 2,000 residents was celebrating Pioneer Day. [...]

By Stephen Bugno Out of breath, hysterical, physically exhausted and shaking from extended adrenaline and fear, I round up the final scramble to the summit of Torreys Peak. There are a few people already there. But they have come up the easy way, on the super-highway-of-a-trail from the direction of Grays Peak. My eyes are [...]

By Stephen Bugno After a big final night out in Boulder, we rolled out of town in the am twenty miles south to Golden where we picked up the keys to the condominium in Winter Park where we would be staying the next few days. Two days earlier, on the way home from Rocky Mountain [...]

We were lucky enough to be in Colorado for the peak of wildflower season. At all elevations in every place we hiked: Rocky Mountain National Park, the Fraser Valley, on Torreys Peak, we saw a beautiful diversity of species with brilliant colors. Most spectacular are the alpine flowers among the wild grasses and rock among [...]
