Welcome back to the Nash Potatoes Outdoor Show! Today, I’m in southern Colorado - just 17 miles north of the New Mexico border. I plan to show you all the cool things to do in the Conejos Canyon. I had so much fun on this day as I traveled 27 miles down the beautiful Forest Service Road 250.This area is great for camping, hiking, birding, and viewing wildlife. I saw Elk, wild horses, free-range cows, and even a marmot. A truly awesome day would be renting a side-by-side UTV at the Red Bear Haus and heading out to the Three Forks Trailhead. Anyway, let me explain exactly where the Conejos Canyon is located.

ABOUT ME:
► I grew up in Kalamazoo, MI and graduated with a Marketing degree from Oakland University.
► I moved to Longmont, CO in November 2016 and fell in love with all the beautiful hiking trails that Colorado has to offer. So, in April 2012, the Nash Potatoes Outdoor Show was born.
► In November 2019, I took a 4-month camping trip in my pop-up camper. This gave me an opportunity to travel, explore, unwind, and create lots of great videos.
► In December 2020, I began recording a series of downhill skiing videos in Colorado. These quickly became popular and my passion for UA-cam was re-ignited!
► I actually had so many great memories of my first camping trip that I decided to do another one. So, in April 2021, I converted a 12-foot enclosed trailer into a camper and documented the whole process.
► In June 2021, I reached 1,000 subscribers and was able to monetize my channel.
► By January 2023, I was already at 2,000 subscribers and counting!
► The Nash Potatoes Outdoor Show allows me to share all of my experiences with you. Join me on my adventure as I talk about life, laughter, exploration, and creating content for UA-cam...enjoy!

Welcome to discovering the Conejos Valley! One of my all time favorite places to spend some time fly fishing the Conejos on my summer trips to Colorado. First discovered this valley in 2001 and have returned regularly since 2008. Spent some pleasant evenings at the Trail Creek dispersed area chasing the trout. Enjoyed getting stoked for planning my summer '24 trip to Colorado. Thanks for the memorable scenery!
