What's that hole in the ground above him?

Why shop when you can run one over.

Mountain Goats are even more chill in Washington. Check out this other guy's video.

I have a major scratch in the viewfinder from those beaver teeth. But I was noticing the same thing about their fur. Marmot coats might be the next thing.

I’ve been photographing goats, sheep and marmots between the 13,000 and 14,000 level for the past month on Mt. Evans, so the animals are getting used to seeing me. There are virtually no predators at this altitude, so they’re a little more relaxed around humans. I was lucky enough to get some close ...

Here's a short clip of the San Antonio Canyon Falls on a day when some drunken idiot pushed a four year old off the top.

That was the first one I've ever seen. They're not native to Colorado, but Mt. Evans is one of the best places to find them. 14 mile road, the highest in North America, you can drive all the way to the top.

No, they're actually pretty dangerous. They've killed grizzlies before. But they lick salt off the passing cars. This one was licking something on the undercarriage.

I've been looking for these mountain goats since I moved to Colorado.
Finally found one. He found something he liked under my car. People passing by thought I ran him over.

Apparently there's salt in the asphalt and on the sides of cars. They salt the roads up here in the winter.

Next time you're out in that area check out the Cave of Munits.

The rock wall and fence are along the way as you walk up the canyon, on the left side. It used to be a bee farm. There's also an old tipped over utility truck on the right side. The patent date was from some old machinery on the side of the hill below the steam shovel. That stuff is all still up the...

Mt. Evans is the highest peak in the Mount Evans Wilderness at 14,271-feet. The road leading to it is the highest paved road in North America. Each year the road gets damaged by the extreme weather and asphalt patches are made. Bighorn sheep and mountain goats love to lick and eat these patches, pre...

Love that place. The last time I went there bees had built a hive inside the gas tank. There used to be cults living in the canyon below.

I'm not sure how you could be rescued if you got stuck in there. There's one point where it's so narrow you can't turn your head around.

That sucks. Thanks for looking that up.

Thanks for the info. I'll try to research it.

Nice. I saw one video of a guy doing the crack at night. Looked really cool. Is Little Jamaica in St. George?

Not for the claustrophobic, this crack is only eight inches wide at it's narrowest point. If you get stuck you're screwed.

The San Gabriel Mountains are harsh. The Mt. Lowe Railway was completely wiped out by fires, flood and wind. Nothing survives for long in those canyons.

So after I published this the lady who owns that canyon threatened to have me arrested, but yes I have some great photos of Stoddard house and some of his famous friends. I wish I could have gone further up that day but that canyon is so overgrown it took forever to get that far. By the way that tro...

That trail was originally supposed to go all the way to the Forks Dam, which would have been the largest in the world, but it was never completed. There was an entire construction city built near the merge of the three forks above the narrows. Also believe it or not there was a railroad that went up...

At one time they were trying to raise money to build a self cleaning restroom next to it. Would have cost 80K and never happened.
There's also a secret helipad where Ron the owner flies in every morning hidden in a side canyon

I would have aimed for the water to break my fall. Fear not, I'm happier than ever since I left California.

WTF?

I'm too cheap to pay the hundred twenty buck. Might do it with no rope.

I watched Dirty Grandpa and had to steal this song. This footage was taken about a year ago.

I have that same newspaper article. Thanks. The guy who wrote History of Pasadena was amazing. His wife was the first woman to ever reach Thalehaha Falls in Rubio Canyon. That's like the bible of everything that happened in that area in the late 1800s.

Youre right. I was going on memory but now I remember that. You must have seen that in History of Pasadena.

That canyon used to be called Church Canyon. There was a civil war fugitive (Confederate) who got caught in California, He was tried and convicted for treason but instead of hanging him the court made a slave out of him and forced him to cut down trees for the lumber that built a church in downtown ...
