Spending the next few months working in this new mountain paradise where the beer flows like wine (so I’ve heard) and would love any and all recommendations for activities, spots, sights and debauchery! 🙏🏼🎉⛰️
Relocating to Aspen this early summer on a project, looking for any and all recommendations both healthy and hedonistic while there? TIA!
Hello everyone, my name is Gabe Crawford and I'm excited to announce the completion of this mobile slaughter truck to service the Western slope, particularly the north and roaring fork valleys. This has been a dream in the making for a few years now and it is finally getting across the finish line. I'm thankful to be a part of a local food system and support our regional meat infrastructure by offering ethical and stress free death to the livestock that sustain us, support our livelihoods and nourish us. I kill, skin, gut and quarter on site and deliver a quality carcass to a processor of choice, cutting out the transport stress and delivering quality meat from hooves to plate. Find me on Facebook at Nomad Mobile Slaughter or book an appointment via email at gabe@nomadcustommeats.com
Colorado bikepacking friends, can you help me out with some suggestions?
We'll be driving from Salt Lake City to Denver this weekend to attend a friend's graduation. Is there an overnighter close to I-70 (starting near Glenwood Springs, Vail, Silverthorne, or Idaho Springs) that you can recommend, that would be doable in mid-May 2026 conditions? There are a lot of interesting things I can see online, but I'm assuming stuff above 10,000 ft in elevation is still snowy and muddy. We'd like to do around 30-40 miles each day, with an overnight camp. We have light hardtail mountain bikes and bikepacking camping setup. We're in our 50s and are relatively fit. Any info or suggestions is appreciated. Thanks!
I have an interview coming up in a few weeks with a government agency in the roaring fork area and I wanted to see if anyone here would be willing to give me some insight as to life in the valley. It’s been my dream for 20 years to live in Colorado but I’m a bit nervous as I’d be coming from a large midwestern city. I know the weathers going to be quite a bit different but maybe some transplants could chime in about the biggest differences they noticed? Any advice is appreciated!
Specifically looking for insight on:
- boarding/daycare for dogs
- hospitals, primary care providers in the area
- how quickly are roads in drivable condition after a snowstorm?
