A long weekend basecamped at Cutty's Hayden Creek Resort, tucked into the Sangre de Cristo foothills outside Coaldale, Colorado. Days spent chasing the Arkansas River, the old Cotopaxi general store, the dark-sky towns of the Wet Mountain Valley, and a whole lot of nothing in the best way. Photos and video straight off the trip — and still growing.
