Kollbaum Mountain Adventures

Hiking in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado


“It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.”

― Sir Edmund Hillary

Every moment I spend in the mountains feels like a timeless gift, waiting to be unwrapped. The mountains have a silent power to amplify each and every experience through their graceful beauty, limitless possibilities, and relentless challenges. It's the thrill of each mountain adventure that draws me back year after year.

The San Juan Mountains, with their rugged grandeur and eternal majesty, have long held sway over my imagination. Like ancient guardians of a forgotten realm, they whisper secrets of adventure and exploration, enticing me with their siren song. Each summer spent amidst their sweet embrace only deepens my reverence for their beauty, their peaks becoming not just landmarks upon a map, but waypoints on the journey of my soul.
