I just got home from summiting Mount Bierstadt and I’ll have a story about it later this week but I wanted to update the blog real quick! Mainly I wanted to post a few pictures because although it wasn’t the most stunning hike I’ve done thus far it was certainly very pretty.
I summited solo in about an hour and forty minutes which makes me feel pretty damn good because even though it’s a pretty easy hike as far as 14ers go I absolutely killed it up that beast. I had intentions of hiking the ridge between Bierstadt and Evans but decided I’d save that for another time. When I got to the summit and could see that it was much more difficult looking than I had hoped.
You can see it here to the left side of this picture here, it’s not as knife’s edge as it seems but it was more gnarly than I felt capable of today.
Anyway that’s the quick update nothing new travel wise and other than a couple more 14ers to hike in the next couple of weeks nothing else to report. Take it easy out there!

My name is Zach Snead and I grew up in Kansas in a rural suburb of Kansas City. From a young age I had an extreme curiosity for other cultures but as I grew I became more concerned with normal dumb teenage things and temporarily lost that wanderlust. However when I turned 23 I lost one of the most important people in my life, my Great Grandmother who passed a week after my birthday just shy of 101 years old. It was during this time I rediscovered old photos from various slide shows she had of her past travels with my Great Grandfather, my Grandmother and even my Mom and Uncle. This reignited a flame in me that burns strong today and pushes me to explore the far reaches. Little by little over the 6 years since I have gone to new and exciting places and I don't plan to stop. I created this blog to share my experiences with everyone and hopefully be the spark that ignites the flame in all of you out there unsure whether traveling is right for you. I will try to post daily updates and weekly stories, follow me on instagram, YouTube and Twitter the links are in the menu. Never forget to keep wandering!
Zach
