4/5 - this is a very good and educational book, especially if you’re like me and didn’t know anything about Capt Cook going in. I liked The Wager and Endurance more, but this is a top 5 historical adventure for me, so far. #historicalfiction #booksky #justfinished

Perfect weather for Rocky today! Got some service time in reseeding burn areas so, YOURE WELCOME AMERICA. The aspen situation is probably a bit past peak but worth a visit still. Just heavenly out, as always. #nationalpark #rmnp #aspens

My phone jumped right off my paddleboard last weekend &now lives at the bottom of Horsetooth reservoir; new one didn’t arrive for 8 days. This is what I missed - camera, Libby, Merlin, weather and an alarm/timer. Being phoneless was kinda great & I’ll miss it. Enjoy the last pic from the old phone

Wow, very kind depictions of this almost chinless family. I’ve never actually seen a picture of Eric where he didn’t look like a consumptive pile of walking cat piss.

5/5 - i avoided this one for years becoz I’m a krakauer fan girl and he looks like a real jerk from this perspective. But this was a great read & I gained so much more knowledge about the 96 Everest disaster. Crazy how many mountain deaths start w/ small mistakes #booksky #justfinished #books

Coloradans: Make sure you get your ballot for the midterm in time to vote. Return it to an official county drop box, if possible, rather than using the mail system.

I love Horsetooth mountain. I’ve climbed this thing like 50 times and never get tired of the sights I see up here. Sometimes when I can’t sleep I hike the different routes to the summit in my head. It’s probably in the top 20 things I’m most grateful for in the whole world. #hiking #outdoors

5/5 - made me feel a lot less crazy about some of the stuff going on today. Really validates that ‘this is some nazi shit going on, right?’ feeling. Going into home library for the kids to read #justfinished #nonfiction #politicalbooks #resist #booksky

Treated myself to a little alpine time this morning on Mt Chapin (12,400 ft), since Old Fall River is going to close next month. No bears or sheep, just pika today. #hiking #nationalpark #rmnp

First time finding a rattlesnake in the dark woods at 7000 ft! Down in a dry gulch, no water, no sun at all. I wonder how many I walk by without noticing every day. Pit vipers are my absolute favorite #snakes #hiking #colorado

4/5 - I don’t know why I liked this book so much. The characters are almost all heart-of-gold types and there’s so much build-up for nothing to really happen but I’ll be damned if this 900-page (on Libby) book didn’t suck me right in. She writes such vibrant worlds #justfinished #booksky

Evening hike up Mt O. Kicked over so many cairns it felt like Christmas! FYI, if you need help route-finding on a very visible,1 mile long trail, you just need to get better at route-finding. You do not need to move rocks into piles on an already slippery and degrading slope. #hiking #fuckthemcairns

3.5/5 - a magnetic little story that moves along nicely. Dropped it down a star because I figured out all the twists pretty early on. But I did really enjoy overall and would recommend #fiction #justfinished #booksky

5/5 - a top 10 book for me. I ordered leaf-cutter bees & doubled the native pollinators in my garden even before finishing. Awakened an interest in #bees I didn’t know I had. Went into the home library immediately. Highly recommend, especially if you garden #justfinished #booksky #gardening

So, maybe we came home to a dead central A/C and a broken water main, but at least I had a really nice weekend over on the west side. YMCA of the Rockies was pretty delightful. Miles and miles of private trails! #outdoors #hiking

3.5/5 - it’s a wee bit boring. I enjoyed learning about the history of American burials and the graveyards were all fascinating. I’ve actually started looking up my local ones to learn their history, so I guess the book made an impact. The author’s quips are annoying. #booksky #justfinished

5/5 - another fiction book and I really liked it. Kind of a cross between Blair Witch and Green Room. I must be getting better at suspending my disbelief w/fiction because there were really no parts that grated at me too much #justfinished #booksky #horror

Nope, this is 100% not a trail that needs any cairns. One of the cairns was next to a sign with a directional arrow even, about 200 feet from the road 😭 I’m up there monthly, they definitely did not belong.

smfbee.bsky.social @smfbee.bsky.social · 02/08/2026
I just did a volunteer shift in RMNP and we were all talking about how much we hate the person who did this. We kicked down a bunch of cairns on Lily Mountain and it was super satisfying.

Whenever I post the elk they immediately give me way better shots within a few hours & then I feel like maybe I shouldn’t post boring backyard elk again but this time I don’t care. Look at this handsome guy! He came so close I had to get the dog out of the yard but got some nice pics first #wildlife

Got completely soaked TWICE out on Lily mountain but won’t be complaining about moisture this year. Watching the rain come for you across the valley is always a trip. First two photos are taken 6 minutes apart, same mountain (Twin Sisters, excellent summit!) in the background #hiking #outdoors #RMNP

5/5 - this book is an homage to my home. It’s set in places I frequent & the way she writes about Estes Park & Longs is as if she’s inside my brain. I’m profoundly sad I’ll never see this place how Isabella Bird did (unsettled), but what a wonderful glimpse into how it was #booksky #justfinished

3/5 I was really into this book until the end. It’s wild and original and beautifully written. I’ve never read a book set in Finland and certainly never one about Finnish ‘hicks’. It was an easy 4/5 until the finish, so probably recommend. Others might not mind it. #justfinished #booksky

I’ve got bees! I still have another chapter to read of Thor Hanson’s book Buzz, but once I read that one can order bees, I did and now have a little group of bees! They arrived & bees are using the tubes before I’ve even finished the book. One of my fav reads this year #bees #gardening #booksky
