What's New:

The Utah/Colorado Trip

These two states are filled with so much natural beauty, you can't see it all in just one trip.  That's why I went back.  Explore Rocky Mountain National Park's clear lakes, dirt roads that lead to the Continental Divide, Utah's version of the Grand Canyon, ghost town cemeteries, and a garden fit for the gods.

Pick Your Adventure...

Hike in the Middle of the Pacific Ocean

It's California's often-overlooked National Park: the Channel Islands, off the coast of Santa Barbara.  Think of it as Hawaii, but closer.  Mountains rise up from the choppy water, and you can hike to your heart's content -- so long as you can still stand, after the boat ride.

Skiing in Yosemite National Park

Who knew?  One of America's most stunning parks may be well known for its glacier-carved valley and abundant waterfalls, but when winter arrives, you can also hit the slopes, and learn new moves at California's oldest ski-school.

Walking On Athabasca Glacier

A drive through the Canadian Rockies provides an unusual chance at a once-in-a-lifetime experience: the opportunity to safely walk on top of a huge, ancient glacier.  It's melting, though, so get your crevasse moving.

The "Other" California Coast

Most people think of the Big Sur region of California as its most dramatic coastline.  They must not have seen the Lost Coast, north of San Francisco.  A narrow, lonely road takes you to a place where cows enjoy some of America's most beautiful real estate.

Where Angels Fear To Tread

It's the centerpiece of Zion National Park, but getting to the top of Angels Landing will require some huffing, puffing, and nerves of steel.  Only a few feet of rock stand between you and a dramatic drop -- on both sides.  Just hold onto those chains, and you'll be fine.

Take The High Road, The Really High Road

Driving through Rocky Mountain National Park takes you to new heights, along the highest continuous road in America.  Oh, and the scenery will make it tough to catch your breath, too.

One Heck Of A Hole In The Ground

Carlsbad Caverns is probably a lot different than any other cave you've explored.  It's big -- so big, you probably won't feel claustrophobic.  The stalactites and stalagmites are probably bigger than anything you've seen anywhere else, too.  And, you can explore on your own -- no need to stop and go with a tour group. 

So Bad, But So Good

South Dakota's Badlands aren't bad at all, so long as you've got a gallon of water and a full tank of gas.  Here, nature is harsh and beautiful, all at the same time.  Spend an entire day captivated by erosion.  Seriously, you can.
