Postcards from the Capital 💐

A collection of favorites from over the years around Crested Butte, not only the best place to see alpine wildflowers in all of North America, but also my favorite place in the whole world.. there truly is nothing quite like it at its peak.

Which shot is your favorite (1-10)?

Golden hour golf at Rodeo Dunes, America’s most unique new golf destination nestled on thousands of acres of sand in the high plains of Eastern Colorado - a land often overlooked, but not to be forgotten about. People from all over the world visit Colorado for its incredible landscapes and recreational opportunities, but rodeo dunes is the first of its kind combining world class golf, mountain views and sand dunes, all from the eastern plains. Rodeo Dunes is a walking only course, allowing you to fully take in and appreciate the beauty of the landscape this course was built on. Currently only open to founders, rodeo dunes will open to the public in May of 2027, on its way to becoming one of the new major golf resorts in the country 👌🏼

A stormy day in the San Juans I’ll never forget 🌈

After waking up next to the lake to thunderstorms surrounding me on this particular morning, I wasn’t sure if I had any chance to get any light at all, but before I knew it the sun broke through the horizon and put on a show unlike any I’ve seen up until that point. What I didn’t know that morning was that this display of light and color in the high country would be topped the same day at sunset as I was treated to multiple rainbows serving as a backdrop to the Red Mountains.
