Southwestern Colorado will always have a special spot on my list of outdoor adventure locations, I had always been an outdoorsy kid, my dad used to take us camping and hiking pretty frequently, but he really opened the idea of it to me through a backpacking trip to the Grand Canyon. I do have to say though, there was something about Ouray, Sneffels, and the entirety of that trip that opened some new paths of thought for me. I could plan these trips myself, and make my own adventure. The Broyles boys definitely helped set that in motion.
