My last day in Glacier National Park was a crazy day. I had spent the night in West Glacier, just outside the west entrance of the park, and woke up at 5am. After leaving the motel 15 minutes later, I arrived at the Apgar Visitor Center at 5:30am…and yes, it was still dark out. So, […]

After hiking Grinnell Glacier, I spent the next night at the Swiftcurrent Motor Inn. You may be wondering why I didn’t stay at the Many Glacier Hotel another night. The main reason is because of the price. The Swiftcurrent Motor Inn is much more affordable and one night of luxury was enough for me. Also, […]

Last Sunday I went to see the new exhibit at the Annenberg Space for Photography. The exhibit is called: PhotoArk. I’m sure you all know I’m going to say that you need to see this exhibit…so, yes, you do! PhotoArk is a photographic project led by National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore in which he will […]

The hike to Grinnell Glacier was an incredible experience. Starting at 8:30am, at the boat dock behind the Many Glacier Hotel, I took two boats across two lakes: Swiftcurrent Lake and Lake Josephine. The lakes are separated by a small forest area which requires a 1/4 mile hike (very simple hike). At the end of […]

My first night in Glacier National Park was at the Many Glacier Hotel. I spent a little extra money to get a lakeside view room and YES, IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! Talk about an amazing view! Below is a photo of the interior of my room, #312. While it was a beautiful third floor […]

My second national park stop on my big trip was in Canada at Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta. Of course I had to take a photo of the Alberta sign and share it with you all. My original plan was to hike around Cameron Lake and the surrounding area, but unfortunately in August 2017 […]

My first stop on my huge National Park trip was Zion National Park. Nothing better than starting a trip with a beautiful sunrise! Below are two photos I took in the early morning. The one thing I didn’t know about Zion was that for the past few days before I arrived they had been closing […]

Yes, it was my Glacier National Park trip, which included the following: Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta (Canada) Glacier National Park Yellowstone National Park Grand Teton National Park Bryce Canyon National Park Zion National Park Death Valley National Park Yosemite National Park and Cedar Breaks National Monument I […]

I decided to do a blog entry today and post some of the photos I took at Descanso Gardens on Sunday. The photo of the living space was taken inside the historic Boddy House, which is on a hill in the gardens. As you can see, not only are there plants and flowers at the […]

I spent the day with my niece and sister on Sunday. We went to Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge and then the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda. Below are some photos I took at the Nixon Library. I had no idea it was such a beautiful place. The image of the small white cottage […]
