  9. A game that took me to Colorado’s peaks!

    I spent two weeks on a beautiful adventure exploring mountains, and I have 14ers to thank for it. Read about my journey from a novice climber to reaching peaks of over 14,000 feet, all from the tabletop!

  11. We have a mountain range about ten minutes from our house. A young man from Minnesota successfully summited the 13,000 ft. (3962 meter) Cloud Peak Sunday, July 29th and hasn't been heard from or seen since. 🙁

    They've got all kinds of resources out looking for him but it's not looking too optimistic at this point.

    Still happens I guess. I wish it didn't though.
