For over four decades, Beth and Don Paulson have traveled in and them made their home in southwestern Colorado. By jeeping or in hiking boots, they have experienced close-up the grandeur and beauty of these lands. Their adventures together in many sometimes remote and always unique places have inspired them to take hundreds of photos and to fill journals with poems.
