Dear Traveler,

The sun is out. The sky is blue. The temperatures are just hot enough that dipping a toe in a chilly high-altitude swimming hole sounds like a great way to cool off. August is here, and with it comes lots of opportunities to make the most of summer’s delightful adventures before the season winds down. These long summer days offer up plenty of excitement, whether your preferred flavor is a rugged mountain bike ride or a scoop of Rocky Road on the way back into town.

Stay cool out there.

See you in September,

-The Adventurist
