Mr. Nye's journey west

By tnye3
  • Go to California

    When I was in the sixth grade, my parents, sister and I took our first vacation out to California. I had my first "taste" of the mountains.
  • Frist ski trip

    When I was in my first year of college, I went to Big Sky, Montana with the ski club and was overwhelmed by the mountains.
  • The "realization"

    Shortly after graduating from college, I began guiding bicycle tours and went to Rocky Mountain National Park for my first trip. This was the point I realized I had to live near the mountains.
  • Living in Montana.

    Shortly after the tours ended for the summer, and I had spent one more cold winter in Minnesota, I had the opportunity (thanks Ben and Jesse!) to move to Missoula, MT. Although there was a drought that winter and very little snow, I knew the mountians were for me!
  • More bicycle tours!

    More bicycle tours!
    After spending the winter in Montana, I deceided to work as a tour guide again. I had the chance to explore much more of the western United States!
    This is me rolling into a very small western town. Can you find it on a map?
  • The move to Colorado!

    The move to Colorado!
    Yay! I finally made it to Colorado! Then the snow fell:-)
  • Starting school, again...

    Starting school, again...
    I started school again, this time to pursue my Elementary Education degree. It keeps me very busy, but I love where I live!photo
