My Amazing Trip Through the Rocky Mountains

By Dexter Yarbrough. Oh, yes. I have been to the Rocky Mountains for short day trips. But this time I am going to rough it! Just me and my camping supplies and cameras. I am going to spend two days out in the wild - communing with nature in God's country!

Text module

The Rocky MountainsYes. I am a city boy by birth, but my heart belongs in the south (Georgia/Mississippi) and the mountains. "City of Big Shoulders," "Second City," "Hog butcher for the world," and "That Toddling Town" aptly describes where I have lived for years. It is a great city with its skyscrapers, museums, nightlife and "The Lake." As for the food, it doesn't get any tastier than that which you can find in the "Heart of America."

But with the good comes the bad and "Sweet Home" has its share of humidity, crime and silliness. It was time to take a trip! Time to find a place where there will be few people and beauty for miles around. I decided to head to the Rocky Mountains!

My Amazing Trip Through the Rocky Mountains - Part 1
By Dexter Yarbrough. Oh, yes. I have been to the Rocky Mountains for short day trips. But this time I am going to rough it! Just me and my camping supplies and cameras. I am going to spend two days out in the wild - communing with nature in God's country!
My Amazing Trip Through the Rocky Mountains - Part 2
By Dexter Yarbrough. The great thing about Roosevelt National Forest in the southern Rockies is that if you plan a decent route, you are bound to run into a camping area with toilets. After my encounter with the cows, I headed off in the direction of the nearest camping area.
My Amazing Trip Through the Rocky Mountains - Part 3
By Dexter Yarbrough. At the end of Part 2, you may recall, I had laid down among all the night time nature noises to get some much needed rest. After falling down and being watched by deer earlier, the happenings that day really took a toll on me!

    I would love to visit the Rockies someday soon. I have only seen beautiful pictures so far, but I'm sure pictures can't replace the feeling of actually being there!
