The first Discs-n-Dabs Fall Classic came bright and early on the last Saturday of September 2018. Check in started at 8am and more than 90% of out attendees were checked in and ready to play before opening announcements. As players showed their ID’s and signed waivers, they were given collectible passes, shirts and lanyards commemorating…
It’s been one hell of a season, crew. This last hike was nothing short of spectacular, with temperatures in the mid seventies, the trees changing colors, and fall in full swing, the crew had much to be grateful for as we prepared for a four mile loop through Golden Gate Canyon State Park. We…
I cannot tell you how excited I was to find a location for Discs-n-Dabs events that was within an hour of Denver and Boulder, even before I’d ever played it. Having the option of nearby courses for single day and special events makes it much easier for people to commit to coming out and playing…
For the fifth hike of the season, our crew ventured out to Betasso Preserve in Boulder to hike the first of two loops along the Betasso Preserve Trail. Attendees began arriving shortly before 4PM to find very limited parking in the main lot near the trailhead, and many carpooled from the overflow lot or walked…
Our fourth hike of the season kicked off with beautiful summer temperatures and some eventful encounters with the Park Rangers.

No one likes a cranky hungry camper, especially after having trekked multiple miles with 30+ pounds on your back. While food is essential, water…
Our second event of the year was a huge success in spite of the rainy weather! The plan was to hike the entire Mountains Sanitas & Mount Sanitas Valley Trail Loop, around 3-4 miles in total (Depending on how many excursions you take). While many worried if the rain would hold up long enough for…
With the right preparation, hiking in the rain can be a great chance to explore your favorite trails in a new light, and with a whole lot less people to crowd your experience. Rain deters the casual walker and hiker, but for the properly prepared, rain is nothing but nature turning on a mister to…

For entrepreneurial types like Laura Loewy, that’s exactly what her profession looks like. She’s the Founder and Owner of Backcountry Yoga, an outdoor adventure company with a focus…
