Bald Eagles around Steamboat Springs, CO

We are lucky to live a place were you can see these eagles on a daily basis, flying over head, fishing out of the Yampa river or nearby ponds that have been stocked.

Chicago, Illinois

I had to spend the day in Chicago in March this year and was surprise how much I enjoyed walking around this big city, it was a windy and cold day, coffee shops were on me list of stops to warm up and watch people go about their business (people watching should be a sport)

Summer and Winter time in Steamboat Springs makes a great destination for the fly fisherman with the Yampa river running through town with easy access, or you can get one of the local guides to take you to some of the private sections of the river. Ice fishing can be done on Stage Coach Reservoir.  For the none fisher person lots of hikes close by.

In the winter season skiing and snow boarding are the main sports going on in town, with the ski field and lifts just a short ride up the road on local transport, or stay at one of the many condos that are on the hill. Great restaurants and Bars can also be found in town, sushi to pub food.   

Don't ski, go cross country snow shoeing

If you find yourself in Montana and around the Flathead lake area, south of the lake you will find the National Bison Range, self drive, cost of $5. Best time to visit is first thing in the morning, less people on the road and the wildlife are more likely to be on the move, especially when the days are getting warmer. Take your time. Plus you will also get some great views of the area.
