This was our first hike in Patagonia and the views truly blew us away! It doesn’t get the hype of some of the more popular hikes, but honestly, it was one of our favorites.

You have to try barefoot hiking for yourself before you fully understand the difference 🥾 ad

We used to pick hiking boots based on how cushioned they were… because we thought that was the most protection for our feet. But then we learned traditional, cushioned hiking boots can weaken your feet over time since they’re restricting your foot’s movement and not activating your foot muscles.

While barefoot boots strengthen your feet over time by activating the small muscles in your feet and strengthening your arches. They allow your feet, ankles, and toes to move freely in your shoes WITHOUT compromising protection.

Myles has noticed a huge improvement in his post-injury foot pain and we’ve both noticed a big difference in stability and less foot fatigue after long hikes.

🚂 Bucket List Colorado Train Rides 🚂

We love a scenic train ride and we’re so lucky to have so many epic ones here in Colorado! Honestly, this list barely scratches the surface of scenic train rides in Colorado and we can’t wait to discover even more this winter 😍

1️⃣ Georgetown Loop Railroad: Georgetown, CO
Take a step back in time on this historic narrow-gauge train winding through the Rockies and old mining towns. This scenic ride is about an hour and operates year round⛰️✨

2️⃣ Canyon Spirit: Denver, Colorado to Salt Lake City, Utah
This luxury multi-day train trip includes stops in Moab and Glenwood Springs with hotels along the way. Enjoy on-board dining and craft cocktails as you glide along the Arkansas River and through towering red rock canyons. This is a once in a lifetime type of trip!

3️⃣ Royal Gorge Route Railroad – Cañon City, CO
Approximately a 2 hour train ride with panoramic gorge views. This train ride combines history, adventure, andlifetime jaw-dropping scenery all in one. We highly recommend the Vista Dome for the large windows!

Which one would you ride first? 🎟️
