I was scared to share my grief journey publicly. But this special thing has happened since I started sharing…

You’ve shown up. In ways I couldn’t predict.

My posts on grief have reached hundreds of thousands of people. People who understand and feel the same. ❤️‍🩹

In my hardest moments, when I’m drowning and it feels like too much, I read your comments. I read about your dogs and loved ones that you’ve lost. And it makes me feel less alone.

Somehow having this community to share in my grief is healing me in ways I didn’t expect.

It’s agonizingly beautiful.

None of us want to be in this club. But I’m grateful we can be here together. And sit with our pain in community.

Thank you for being here and for understanding. Thank you for loving Yoshi with me.

At the end of the day we are all here together, just walking each other home. ❤️‍🩹🫶🏼

Adventure season is officially loading… 🥾🏔️☀️🏕️

I’m so excited to be teaming up with on Pearl Street for a special in-store experience that celebrates local artists, the upcoming hiking season, and the gear that carries us there.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! ⬇️

⏰ When: Feb 28th from 1-5 pm

🗺️ Where: The North Face on Pearl Street, Boulder Colorado

🎉 What: loads of fun at your favorite outdoor apparel store! There will be drinks, food and prizes. Come celebrate with us!

The really fun part: If you’re an XPLR Pass® member, you can have custom hand-painted artwork added to your The North Face gear by local artist right in the store. 🎨

Each guest can choose from six exclusive designs, all created in the artist’s signature style (must be a new $75 purchase to qualify).

This event is all about community, creativity, and excitement for new adventures.💥

Whether you’re planning spring travel, hoping winter finally arrives (looking at you Colorado), or just love supporting local artists, this event is worth stopping by. I hope to see you there!

I knew losing him would break me. And rather than run away, I loved him harder every day.

If there’s one thing I’ve done right, it was loving him with my entire being every second of every day. He knew it too. I just wish he was here to pick up the pieces with me. ❤️‍🩹

Can you relate to any of this? If you can, my heart breaks with you.

SAVE this secret waterfall for later (happy hunting) & for more Colorado gems follow 🩵

It was 2017 when I first saw a photo of this waterfall online… 💦

At the time it didn’t have a name. There was little info about it available. Geotagging didn’t yet exist. And I spent my free time trying to hunt it down on Google maps.

2 years later…

In 2019 I drove my family 7 hours. We rented a cabin & spent an afternoon wandering the forest trying to find it. I remember what it felt like when I first saw it. Two years of research later… and there I was standing at “my” secret waterfall!

Last summer I got to return. It took less than 10 minutes for me to track it down. The waterfall was more teal than I remember. And equally as special.

It has a name now. There’s a little trail that leads to it if you know where to look. I’m guessing someday it will be on AllTrails.

But for now it’s still relatively unknown. A gem amongst the greatest wilderness area in Colorado.

Hidden in plain sight.

I love knowing places like this still exist in Colorado. Not yet overrun. Pure. And pristine.

It’s an honor to get to experience this place. If you know where it is, fantastic! If you don’t, happy hunting. 😉

The fun is in the chase. If you put in the work… you can discover beautiful & serene places like this too.

Welcome to… Colorado life! It’s the best 😉

Hi I’m Kara. I’ve lived in Colorado for 10 years and love sharing adventures of all types: easy hikes, hard hikes, outdoors activities and an occasional cute coffee shop.

I just lost my dog of 17 years and share a lot about grief too. If you like outside and dogs, you are welcome here.

(Happy to share trail info, just dm me!)

⚠️ Always respect hiking etiquette and leave no trace when visiting these amazing places.
