The Grand Mesa

This year's Perseid meteor shower could be one of the best!

CP&W is encouraging fishing at Carson Lake before dam upgrade.

Is this the driest winter is over 100 years?

If you thought the New Year’s Day supermoon was cool, wait till you see this.

The clear skies and not having a major metro in our area makes for prime Orionids meteor shower viewing. The Orionids meteor shower peaks this weekend. The Orionids are fragments of Haley’s Comet, one of the most famous comets which last flew past Earth in 1986 and isn't scheduled to return until 2061...

If you've been following along I've spent several weekends exploring some of the amazing sights here in Western Colorado and Eastern Utah. As the year winds down I thought it would be a good time to share some of my favorites.

I knew it was coming. I also knew it would happen earlier here than it usually did back in Kansas. Today's snow falling outside my office window makes it official. I've witnessed my first western Colorado snow.

I've been on up on the Grand Mesa two weekends in a row. I was amazed how much more color there was this week compared to last. On the way up I stopped at Powderhorn. I know now why this past Saturday and Sunday it's called Color Weekend.

I had some time to kill Sunday afternoon so I figured I'd roll up on The Grand Mesa and see if there was any Aspen action. I was pleasantly surprised to see quite a bit of color. My guess is we're a least a couple weeks out from peak, but it's getting there.
