Trip Report Livin' it up in Trinidad and Tobago

Post by Scott P »

It's not in Colorado, but I hope you enjoy the trip report. My wife and I were in Trinidad and Tobago last month to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We climbed several peaks and saw lots of wildlife including monkeys and a boa constrictor.

Now it's time for some cold weather adventures in Utah and Colorado!

Nice photos of the wildlife! Colorado would be more interesting if we had some alpine monkeys. Perhaps we could import some of these Japanese Macaques:

Shhhhhh...that's our winter escape for warmth and beautiful waters without the crowds and americans. I think the roosters scare them away.

Thanks for posting, looks like an adventure!

Interesting report, thanks for posting. Your wife is a trooper. That jungle looks pretty creepy.

Thanks for the report! I enjoyed it.

I can't believe you used the fixed rope at Argyle Falls. I'm sure people fall to their death all the time when the rope breaks. Come on man. :lol:
