Tipi Living

admin January 28th, 2008

I’ll admit - the last two years I’ve spent more time in the tipis that I have in my back yard than I have camping in the mountains in one of my tipis. With this in mind, I thought I’d show you a few tipi exterior pictures of my customer’s tipis. But they have to be in the yard ;-).

OK - Tipi #1 in in Cascade, Colorado, tipi #2 is in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, tipi #3 in my good friends in Estes Park, Colorado, tipi #4 is in Franktown, Colorado, tipi #5 is in Hamilton, Montana, tipi #6 is in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, tipi #7 is near Taus, New Mexico, tipis #8 are in Malibu, California, tipi #9 is in Phoenix, Arizona, tipi #10 is in the Trinity Alps of Northern California, tipi #11 is in my daughter’s back yard in Neunkirchen Germany (we made snow angels in front of her tipi to protect it), tipi #12 is in Aspen , Colorado, Tipi # 13 is in Denver, Colorado, Tipi # 14 (pictures 14, 15, and 16) is in San Francisco , California.

Well thous are just a few of the thousands of Reese Tipis that are in folks back yards scattered across the country. Email me a picture of you backyard tipi and I’ll post it here. richard(put the at thingy here)reesetipis(put the dot thingy here)com

My love for tipis started over 35 years ago after My father purchased a small tent and awning company in Salt Lake City. I was put to work helping around the shop and I was soon helping make and setup tipis (tepees, teepees) with the family. My father sold the business when I was 18 but he and my mother continued to make tipis while I took a leave of absence from the family business to join the Air Force. After a successful career in the Air Force, I decided it was time to settle down and since mom was not getting any younger, and was having difficulty making tipis, I decided I would help. I soon moved the business from Salt Lake to Colorado Springs and have been making Reese Tipis here since 1998.

I still camp in my tipis and spend a fair bit of time in the ones in my back yard. With this blog, I hope to be able to share my tipi experiences with tipi lovers around the world.
