Our Copper Canyon adventure wasn’t at all what we imagined when we planned the road trip from our cozy home office in Canada. My vision of admiring views across the copper-coloured canyon while hiking along a quiet trail in the crisp mountain air was not to be. Not this year.

There’s something about Colorado. It’s the jagged, snowy peaks, the little mountain towns, the outdoor sports and adventures, the high-elevation pine forests, it’s… everything.
