I always like to think that growing up near the Rockies helped fuel my addiction and love for exploring the vast outdoors.  While every region you travel to has it's own unique aspects making it one of a kind, the Rockies are truly a force to be reckoned with!  Maybe it's the ragged peaks, or the crystal blue lakes, even the crispness of the cold mountain air; the Rockies always manage to pull you in and never let go.
