Change often seems a slow thing in the southern Rockies. Take, for example, our reverence for the ancient community of Taos Pueblo, which has seemingly stood still (its inner core remains unchanged) for a thousand years, making it the oldest continually inhabited community in the country.

May 7, 2018 by baRb@55

A riot, revolt or revolution never remains complete without a rebel(s) to fuel the situation. These controversial leaders usually maintained an unsavory reputation as “troublemakers” at the time of their escapades. In time, northern New Mexico and southern Colorado history sometimes changes this viewpoint, honoring the leader through public memorialization. The reason for the rebellion, Read More

Do it like a kid

February 22, 2018 by baRb@55

Wouldn’t it be great if we could all have as much fun as kids do when we go outside? They’re like otters — not thinking too hard, just messing around and having fun. That’s not to say that they have no fear. But saying that adults have forgotten how to play is as silly as Read More

STRAIGHT FROM the HORSE’S MOUTH: There is no shortage of myths, superstitions, and fun obscure facts when it comes to horses.

Fat Boys Dig Cats – Extreme Skiing Monarch Style

May 13, 2016 by baRb@55

Monarch’s extreme snowcat tours of Colorado’s Great Divide are heaven for snow carnivores –  Above me on the mountain steeps, I could hear the guides call to each other as they swept through the trees making sure there were no stragglers. “Clear… Clear.” Clear, my butt.
