Below is another image from my first stop at Arches National Park in September of 2023. I really want to go back there in the future. I’m curious about how it looks in the winter with snow all around… Snow removal on Tioga Pass in Yosemite is making good progress. The latest report says the […]

Below is another image I took while hiking the Bear Lake Corridor in Rocky Mountain National Park in September 2023. Just about everywhere you turn there is an amazing view while hiking in the area. Definitely wasn’t a disappointment at anytime. Also below is an image of the trail sign that splits off to go […]

Below is an image I took on the return hike from Emerald Lake to Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park in September 2024. The lake in the image is Dream Lake. As John Muir says: “…the mountains are calling.” I have to say they are really calling me and I can’t wait to get […]

While doing my first hike in Rocky Mountain National Park in September 2023, I saw so many great views! The hike to Dream Lake especially had some great moments. Below is one image I took while on the trail to Dream Lake. The Rockies sure are inspiring! Looking forward to getting up to the Eastern […]

Below is another sandstone structure that I saw in Arches National Park on my way up to Rocky Mountain National Park last year. Arches does have some incredible arch structures, but some of the other sandstone elements are just as impressive. I can’t wait for Tioga Pass to be plowed so I can get up […]

While driving to Arches National Park last year, on my way to Rocky Mountain National Park, there was a rest stop off of HWY 70 that has some really nice views. It’s known as the “Sand Bench Viewing Area”. Below are a few images from the rest stop. The Sand Bench you can see in […]

Ever since I got back from my trip last year from Arches, I’ve really been thinking of going back. I’d like to go when there is snow or when another storm pattern goes through the park. I’ll have to start researching that. Below is an image I took the first day I went to Arches. […]

Below are two images regarding what is left of the Cedar Breaks Lodge that was up at Cedar Breaks National Monument. I saw the plaque and cabin while hiking one of the trails along the top of the monument in September last year. I like little surprises like that! 🙂 Have a great week everyone!

I’m going back to Crater Lake in October. I’ll be up there three nights which will be better than just the two I did last time. I’m also going to add a couple of nights around Lassen Volcanic National Park on the way back. While I won’t be going back to the Redwoods, I still […]

I may be returning to Crater Lake National Park this year. I’d like to make it a multi park trip, but somehow I don’t think that’s going to happen. So far the only place that seems to be calling to me this year is Crater Lake…which may be a good thing. Below is an image […]
