The Colorado Maroon Bells! Sit down. Take a deep breath. I'll tell a story...  Once upon a time, in a land far far away. There were four men looking to roam the mountains on the 4th of July weekend. Months in advance, the date was saved for this adventure. The destination, Glacier National Park. It was a place where grizzlies, wolves, moose (meese <- plural of moose) and all kind of big game animals roamed freely. https://huynle.com/traveling/don_t_plan_cause_you_won_t_be_disappointed.html Mon, 15 Apr 2013 05:47:00 -0600 https://huynle.com/traveling/don_t_plan_cause_you_won_t_be_disappointed.html Have you ever spent $30 bucks on McDonald’s for four people. Maybe you have… maybe you haven’t. But the thing is… we just wanted to drop by a pick up a ‘small’ snack before we feast in Moab celebrating our conquering of Zion. It took us a little longer than anticipated to get back to Moab from Zion, actually two hours more than the three hours anticipated due to miscalculation. https://huynle.com/traveling/zion_conquered.html Mon, 15 Apr 2013 05:04:00 -0600 https://huynle.com/traveling/zion_conquered.html Arrived at the trailhead, we eagerly jumped out of the shuttle to start our adventure. Meanwhile we were doing our last gear check, a couple next to us (the only other people that rode with us to the trailhead on the shuttle) started talking and got into a small conversation. The only memorable thing about our little chat was when the gal said “… we don’t plan for our trips, that way, we would never be disappointed. https://huynle.com/traveling/adventure_defined.html Tue, 26 Feb 2013 04:27:00 -0700 https://huynle.com/traveling/adventure_defined.html The Great Sand Dunes National Park According to Webster’s dictionary… an adventure is “an undertaking usually involving danger and unknown risks” With that definition out of the way. Let’s talk about our adventure to the Great Sand Dunes eh? A week before the trip, rumors were spreading around our youth group that there was an overnight trip to the sand dunes… started by two of us. Only a three hours drive away from the heart of Colorado, it was a reasonable place to go spend the night in the wilderness and see the next wonder of the world. https://huynle.com/traveling/we_came_we_saw_we_conquered.html Thu, 14 Feb 2013 03:00:00 -0700 https://huynle.com/traveling/we_came_we_saw_we_conquered.html Lets pick up where we left off eh? Moab. The one place where boys go to become men.. and girls to become boys. After weeks of planning to spend a few days after Christmas in The Maze District in Canyonlands National Park, we realized that we needed a back up plan. In this desolate place, the weather could be our friends, or it could be our enemy. For a good week before heading out, our eyes were glued on the weather forecast. https://huynle.com/traveling/it_s_about_the_journey_not_the_destination.html Fri, 18 Jan 2013 08:20:00 -0700 https://huynle.com/traveling/it_s_about_the_journey_not_the_destination.html Once again… we found the adrenaline rush just sitting around and planning for a backpacking trip. This time, Moab, round two. Our goal was to enter into and exit out of 'The Maze District' in Canyonlands National Park in four days. You know the reason why they call it 'The Maze'? It is the exact reason why we spent countless hours staring at all the different types of maps to make sure that we DO know this maze. https://huynle.com/traveling/father_lead_me_i_can_t_do_this_alone.html Sat, 08 Sep 2012 05:09:00 -0600 https://huynle.com/traveling/father_lead_me_i_can_t_do_this_alone.html 3rd day in Moab, Utah. For the days that we were in Moab, we relied on these rocks that are stacked together by the people who have came before us to lead the way. These rocks are called, cairn. This is of a cave at the end of joint trail, completely filled with cairn. https://huynle.com/traveling/here_s_to_the_14_ers.html Sat, 08 Sep 2012 05:07:00 -0600 https://huynle.com/traveling/here_s_to_the_14_ers.html This was taken a few weeks back when we went to hit up my first 14ers. It was shot at 5 in the morning on the way up to Mt. Beirdstadt (which is the peak on the right hand side). Here you can see the Sawtooth (in the middle) and Mt. Evans (on the left). https://huynle.com/traveling/keep_your_head_up.html Sat, 08 Sep 2012 04:42:00 -0600 https://huynle.com/traveling/keep_your_head_up.html Some times we all look forward/down too much, keep your head up and you'll be surprised. This is of a small little waterfall that feeds into Hanging Lake! https://huynle.com/traveling/modern_jungle.html Sat, 08 Sep 2012 04:37:00 -0600 https://huynle.com/traveling/modern_jungle.html  This was taken from a hotel room on my interview... thought I was going to LA. But found out when I stepped foot on the plane that I was going to Louisiana. There is definitely a big difference between the two. https://huynle.com/traveling/life_s_awaiting.html Sat, 08 Sep 2012 04:34:00 -0600 https://huynle.com/traveling/life_s_awaiting.html This is of my little cousin from Texas taking on a blue run for her first time being on the slope. She's a fast learner and got down with minimal damages! https://huynle.com/traveling/welcome_to_the_west.html Mon, 16 Jul 2012 06:29:00 -0600 https://huynle.com/traveling/welcome_to_the_west.html Just this past weekend, our TNTT chapter went to the first ever Knights of Eucharist convention. With eight regions of TNTT that makes up the 1000- people at the convention, our chapter is part of the West side. Otherwise known as.. Mien Tay.  This is the St. Louis Gateway, otherwise known as the Gateway to the West. Representing TNTT from the West Side. We welcome you. Unlike other conventions where it officially starts on Friday, this convention started on Thursday. https://huynle.com/traveling/sit_with_me_awhile.html Mon, 02 Jul 2012 17:03:00 -0600 https://huynle.com/traveling/sit_with_me_awhile.html This is a self-picture from a morning hike in The Needles in Canyonlands National Park during sunrise. https://huynle.com/traveling/long_way_home.html Mon, 02 Jul 2012 04:39:00 -0600 https://huynle.com/traveling/long_way_home.html This is a scene from Hanging Lake. This was taken on the Dead Horse trail.. After hiking this trail, we found out why it was named the Dead Horse. And no.. there was no dead horse at the end of the trail, it was more of.. a trail that had steep loose jagged rocks that was nearly impossible to go up and was impossible to go back down. The best part was that the trail stopped and there was no clear path. https://huynle.com/traveling/40_years_try_40_hours.html Wed, 27 Jun 2012 14:22:00 -0600 https://huynle.com/traveling/40_years_try_40_hours.html Just this past weekend, our youth group finished a camping trip. The camp was given a name, ‘Survival In Christ’. The theme is based off of the Book of Exodus and the 40 years that the Israelites spent in the desert. It was ironic how the Israelites spent 40 years in the desert, and we spent 40 hours in the hot summer sun. Through these 40 hours, there were blood, sweat and tear, literally. https://huynle.com/traveling/moab_utah.html Tue, 19 Jun 2012 16:18:00 -0600 https://huynle.com/traveling/moab_utah.html We spend months before that Monday of Memorial Day, thinking about the trip, gathering up the gears and getting people to be on the same boat. It was determined that no matter what happened, the trip will be started and finished that week. Before we even got to Moab, we well missed an exit to Highway 128 and drove through the dry and desert heat of Utah on an empty tank.
