This stamp mill near Nederland, Colorado, which was used to pound rock into powder as part of the mineral extraction process, is the only one I have ever seen. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #ruins #history #photography

It's hard to say if Kali could actually appreciate all the amazing scenery we saw during a hike west of Boulder, Colorado, but she sure did spend a lot of time looking at it. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #scenery #photography
A white dog stands on a grassy hillside with rocky terrain, surrounded by fog and mountains in the background.
After many hours of scrambling over sharp rocks on the steep slopes of 12,304 foot Sawtooth Mountain, which is on the Continental Divide west of Boulder, Colorado, it was a relief to get back on soft grass. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #scenery #photography
An overhead view of an abandoned wooden structure on a rocky mountainside, with a white dog exploring nearby, and a large building, barely visible in the distance below.
We had to climb over a mountain to get to this mine perched on top of a cliff west of Alma, Colorado, because other than the cable car that was used when it was in operation, there was no other way to get there. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #ruins #history #photography

The most interesting things we found during a hike near Empire, Colorado, were in a narrow valley that we followed for no other reason than to close a loop. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #ruins #history #photography

Water is great, but the best way to get Kali to smile is to go for a hike in a blizzard, like we did on this day, east of Empire, Colorado. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #scenery
An abandoned, rusted bulldozer on rocky terrain with some snow, and a large white dog walking nearby.
It didn't seem like Kali really cared all that much when we unexpectedly found an old bulldozer on top of a mountain south of Montezuma, Colorado. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #history #artifacts

After a long hike west of Alice, Colorado, during which she was always in the lead, Kali finally decides that sometimes it's okay just to lie down and enjoy the view. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #scenery
A small rustic cabin sits on a snow-covered hillside, surrounded by green grass and mountains under a cloudy sky, and a white dog is visible near the cabin.
Snooping around in an old building would normally be a priority for Kali, but on this late spring day, while exploring the high mountains east of Breckenridge, Colorado, sliding around on a crusty snow bank was irresistible. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #scenery #history #ruins #photography
A fluffy white dog lying on the ground, chewing on a large bone.
Kali stops to gnaw on a bone during a hike near Rollinsville, Colorado, that she probably led us to while giving me the impression that I was leading the way. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #photography
As far as Kali was concerned, the deep snow and temperatures well below freezing that we encountered on a hike near Jamestown, Colorado were ideal. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #photography
Not wanting to get too wet before a long hike, Kali carefully wades through a small pond in the mountains west of Boulder, Colorado. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #scenery
Kali looks across a deep valley towards 13,164 foot Kelso Mountain, which is west of Silver Plume, Colorado, to see if we had missed anything interesting when we climbed it several weeks earlier. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #scenery #photography
On a particularly snowy hike along an old railroad grade south of Georgetown, Colorado, Kali seemed to spend more time licking snowflakes off her nose and chewing the snowballs that kept accumulating between her toes than walking. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #photography
"The Kuvasz is part of a group of ancient Hungarian dog breeds. They’re an intelligent dog breed that was originally bred to guard livestock. This explains their large size, steady and watchful temperament, and guarding instincts."

Having endured over a century of wind and harsh winters, this cabin north of Montezuma, Colorado lost its roof soon after this photo was taken, and over the next few years, completely disintegrated, leaving nothing but broken boards. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #ruins #history #scenery
This glacial lake north of Empire, Colorado was too shallow for swimming, but Kali was happy just to splash around. #kali #kuvasz #dog #scenery #photography
Kali licks snowflakes off her nose next to a hundred year old water pump that we found at a mine near Gold Hill, Colorado. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #ruins #history #photography
Kali was definitely more interested in the water, but she had seen enough ore carts to know that this one, that she found on a mountain north of Alice, Colorado, might be of interest to me. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #artifacts #history #photography
Apparently, Kali could tell from the smell that this powder house near Black Hawk, Colorado was no different than any other she had ever seen, because none of her footprints were anywhere near it. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #ruins #history #photography
