Friday, July 13th kicked off NORML Summer Camp 2018 in Guffey, CO and this year was even better than last year. The property was easier to find, easier to access, and incredibly private. With more than 120 acres surrounded by BLM land, it truly is a cannabis camper’s paradise. Campers began arriving mid day and…
Our fourth hike of the season kicked off with beautiful summer temperatures and some eventful encounters with the Park Rangers. We arrived at Main Parking Lot #2 just before noon to set up and stake out our spot. Garden of the Gods is a very popular tourist destination, and traffic proved to be heavy due…
Well, we have finally entered those Summer months. If last week’s hike was any indication, Summer is in full swing, and the 90+ degree temperatures are hitting Boulder and Denver and much of Colorado. Luckily for us, Evergreen experienced a bit of a cool down period before our third hike of the season, so the…

If you’re going to be spending multiple nights in the backcountry, it’s important to plan out your meals and water situation, as these items are crucial to having a great experience. 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…
