Greetings Fellow HE Traveler's,
This last month has been another one crammed with activity.
I hosted another successful SW Colorado Gay Dude Ranch adventure tour this month. The horses were great, and the food was spectacular! I’m not going to lie, I put on a few pounds. Colorado is always a ton of fun, and the nearby town of Durango is one of my favorite western

Hello fellow HE Travelers,
I’m sitting on the balcony
of the General Palmer Hotel, a historic hotel in downtown Durango, Colorado.
I love this town, and I love this hotel! My view looks like something from a movie set. Up the street is the Strater Hotel, which has been visited by many US Presidents. We’ve stayed there before, but General Palmer has nicer rooms, better

Rivers of Ice
Glaciers are ice fields on mountain slopes that remain ice throughout the year. They appear to be stable, but they are continually following gravity down the mountain like a river of ice. On warmer days, the front of a glacier “calves” into the ocean or other bodies of water. In colder seasons, new snow on the upper reaches replenishes the ice that has melted or

Testimonials
“Our Iceland trip was great. What a unique and fascinating place to visit—from the glaciers and the tectonic plates, to the waterfalls, geysers, and lava tubes. Great guides and a great group of guys.”
“Our trip to Machu Picchu was the best adventure that we have experienced. The knowledge of the staff and accommodations were A-1. They made our 20th anniversary trip a memorable one.”
“This trip was incredible. I put my fear aside and allowed myself to play and be a kid jumping, running, diving, and exploring with such enthusiasm. I feel renewed.”
“The location was amazing. It’s hard to choose what I loved most about this destination, the food, the locals, the diving, hotel was amazing and friendly staff. Our hosts were most accommodating and every F&B place that we attended served an amazing dinner, the trip should be called Dine and Dive. If you’re looking for amazing views, diving and want to feel like a local, Saba is your place! I cant wait to return.”
“Seeing the Taj Mahal and the Mt Everest flight were on my ‘bucket’ list. It was my 16th (I think…) trip with HE travel and my 6th with Andrew as guide. Y’all must be doing something right… :=) Now if my bank account could have some time to catch up! The Kathmandu pre-trip was very good and the Everest flight was a dream come true.”
“The tour was a wonderful mixture of upscale lodgings and views of authentic life in each country.”
