Sauntering through RedRocks in Morrison, Colorado. If you get a chance, hit the area when there is snowstorm happening. Crowds will not be found and the serene red formations with snow makes for a wonderland for hiking. Teig absolutely loves winter in Colorado’s Front Range.
Shake It Off on South Peak
Spending time exploring South Peak above Twin Lakes in central Colorado. We found small ponds left from snow melt, not uncommon for alpine elevations above 12,000 feet. Teig enjoyed a quick dip before continuing with our hike on these beautiful ridges.
Traildog Scouting the Snow Covered Mountain Trail
Teig and I get excited about exploring the Front Range Mountains of Colorado after a spring snow storm. On this afternoon we were up on Mount Falcon outside of Morrison Colorado. We saunter the trails and explore nature in this serene scene. On these days there are very few others out on the trails. I highly recommend it.
Proud in the Winterscape
Teig is looking stately in the heavy snow on Mount Falcon outside of Morrison Colorado. This photo reminds me what a fantastic Traildog Teig is and how much experience he has in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. He has logged more miles than many hikers and has summited 24 Fourteeners in this beautiful state.
Winter Fun on Morrison Slide Trail
What is better than the bright sun shining on a snow covered Redrocks trail after a huge snowstorm? I think you can tell how Teig feels about that. He was enjoying the run through the snow and I was thoroughly enjoying the views of Denver towards the east. We had the whole trail to ourselves and was playing and having fun every second!
Teig on Trail at Redrocks during Snowstorm
A snow storm came into the Front Range and Teig and I hit the trails at RedRocks in Morrison Colorado. We had a ton of fun as the snow came down and the beautiful red rock faces were all around us.
A View of the Colorado Flatirons
Teig looking at the fantastic views from South Table Mountain outside of Golden, Colorado. A great hike near sunset with the views of the Front Range and the Flatirons to the north.
Teig on Mountain Trestle
Teig posing on railroad historic trestle tracks high in the Colorado Rockies. This old abandoned trestle is near Corona Pass and is uber cool to hike. My traildog loved the snow and the hike too!
Out in the Snow Storm
Teig covered in snow on Mount Falcon outside of Morrison Colorado during a large snow storm. We love these days in the mountains of Colorado.
Traildog at Kinston Peak Snow Field
A day of hiking to Kingston Peak, Teig and I stopped over at the snow field below the summit to play a bit. He loves the snow and there was abundant amounts on this summer day in the Front Range mountains of Colorado.

Traildog in Mountain Fog
Teig and I were exploring the tree line below Kingston Peak in the Front Range Mountains of Colorado. The low clouds were moving up the slope to us and soon engulfed the ridge in it’s cool mist. The experience was calm and pleasant. I do love changes in weather when you are hiking in the mountains.

Even photographers and their dogs have fun!
Badlands Labradoodle in Black and White
Wondering the backcountry of Badlands National Park in South Dakota is an adventure. When I am in between landscape shoots I get shots of Teig wondering around the rock formations. He becomes my main model or subject when I need some inspiration. He is definitely my artistic muse.

Traildog at Historic 2-Bar Ranch
On a trip through Northwest Colorado we decided to explore Browns Park Wildlife Refuge on the Green River. We were visiting the Historic Ladore Schoolhouse and read some literature about the 2-Bar Ranch which was a mile hike from the schoolhouse. Teig and I decided to do quick jaunt over to the ranch and were thrilled to see how cool the ghost ranch was when we arrived. I had to get a shot of Teig near the corrals. I could imagine the “Old West” as we explored the ranch. A must see if you are in Browns Park.

Traildog in the Badlands
A sunny day to explore Badlands National Park in South Dakota. Teig squinting on a hill in the park as we explore the arid environment and search for the little treasures that come with exploring such a beautiful place.

Traildog on Chief Mountain
Traildog Teig on the Summit of Chief Mountain outside of Idaho Springs, Colorado. It was stormy morning with snow flurries on the way up to the peak at 11,709 feet above sea level. Snow drifts crossed most of the trail but the June morning was comfortable enough to wear a short sleeved shirt most of the way. The high peaks of Mount Evans area of the Rocky Mountains can be seen in the background.

Puppy Relaxation after Play
Rocky and Rambo had a great time playing during the Traildog Artisans photography session at their house in the foothills of Golden, Colorado. They got to play with Teig and roll around in the grass. These Bernese Mountain Dog puppies are a bowl full of energy but with Traildog Teig around we got them to relax for some shots. These brothers are inseparable and love everybody. How cute are these guys?

Brothers in the Woods
Bernese Mountain Dog puppies in the forest playing. Rocky and Rambo are brothers who love to have fun in the mountain woods of Colorado. Chasing each other and squirrels are their favorite pastimes.
