Sometimes we put ourselves in the way of beauty. Sometimes it is simply put before us ❤️❤️

Get ready for a serious dose of adventure guilt. Don’t look at Marisa’s feed if you’re not immediately ready to throw your gear in the car and go do something half as cool as what you’ll see in her shots.

This badass skied all 58 Colorado 14ers and (lucky for us) brought along a camera.

Everyone has a dream lake shot and I really do try to avoid it and visit other places when I can. However there is no denying, it’s a beautiful place to watch the sun come up. Cheers

I challenge you to spend a few minutes on Eric’s feed and not either book a ticket or contemplate moving to Colorado.

Spectacular hiking shots mostly from Southwestern Colorado. Think pristine mountain lakes and eruptions of fall color.

Missing these summer hikes!

A lesson in light. Lots of sunrises, sunsets and #cloudporn mostly from Rocky Mountain National Park.

“I just want to use your love, tonight. I don’t want to lose your love, tonight.” I love stars and the milky way. So sad the season is coming to an end. Well here is 45 minutes of this planet spinning at 745mph! #coloradotography #canon6d #colorado

This dude LOVES the Milky Way…and he’s damn good at capturing it bursting above shadowy mountain ridgelines.

Colorful Colorado✌🏼️

Camping, skiing and ridiculously good sunsets mixed in with the occasional shot of an adorable adventure pup named Stella.

Fly-fishing and SUP in the summer, powder days in the winter from the chief photographer at the Aspen Daily News.

From mountain biking and skiing to camping and yurt trips, this guy consistently shows off the best of the Colorado outdoors.

Explosions of powder and sick shots of downhill mountain biking from the magical adventure playground of Crested Butte.

#ColorfulColorado basically sums up what you’ll find on this feed.

I absolutely loved the Narrows hike in @zionnps. Amazing views around every corner and we met a few nice people along the way too. Unfortunately a down side to the hike was the crazy cold water and freezing canyon temperatures (despite wearing proper boots, neoprene socks and waterproof pants). Having a hot shower and being able to feel my feet at the end of the day was like heaven! // @taonline_

Beautiful photos of beautiful people standing in beautiful places…from the tops of sand dunes to the shores of mountain lakes to fields of blooming sunflowers.

A relative newcomer to the CO Instagram game and deserves a whole lot more followers.

Gorgeous light, shadow and mountain snow from the Indian Peaks and the foothills west of Denver.

Heck Of A Summer Pulling All Of These Beautiful Fish Out Of Alpine Lakes. I’m Never Ready For Backpacking Season To End. But It Has Been The Best One Yet With My Backcountry Flyfishing Buds @zchayes @jordiekarlinski. #cutthroat #flyfishing #troutporn #catchandrelease

Mountain lake reflections, the Milky Way and fly-fishing from Colorado, plus bonus content from Patagonia.

Simply showing the pristine beauty of this place we call home. Also, he has a huge beard.

My heaven would consist of alot of #fall in #Colorado Pic inspired by the amazing @aubrymarie

Why do yoga in a studio when you can have actual trees behind your tree pose?

Snow Day…Hell Yes. School’s already canceled for tomorrow but here’s hoping the house looks like the Rambouillet Yurt, circa 2011. #yurt #yurtlife #Colorado #snowday

Shameless plug from the author who also happens to live in Colorado and occasionally posts photos of people doing things in the mountains.
