Palisade, Colorado, makes an excellent adventure hub. You can hike the Colorado National Monument, search for wild mustangs in the Book Cliff range, and ski at Powderhorn Resort to ski. I did all that - plus visit distillery, eat great food and more. Photos by Pam LeBlanc
Next stop, Patagonia!

Hiking at Pedernales Falls State Park this week.
The campground at Pedernales Falls State Park reopened last month after upgrades to the water system. I zipped over last to do a little hiking and bird watching. Photos by Pam LeBlanc
Big changes are coming to Big Bend. Starting May 1, access to the Chisos Basin at Big Bend National Park will shut down for a construction project, and you won't be able to access the Window Trail or the Lost Mine Trail or even hike to the South Rim Trail from the basin. Check out options here.

Just checking things out over here.
