A while ago, I posted about a garden known as Pathway through the Bible. When we visited this attraction, we were actually on our way to Yellowstone National Park via Beartooth Pass. However, before we made it to Yellowstone, the charms of the pass were too much, and we stopped to enjoy its almost tundra-like [...]
From most of what you’d see of Rocky Mountain National Park in the summer, you would think that everywhere you turned you would see crowds of people milling here and there looking at the same scenery you are. However, if you work at it, you can get off the beaten path and still see some [...]
So you’ve seen Yosemite Valley and you’re looking for something new. Or else you’re visiting the park during the summer or fall and the famous falls aren’t falling. Whatever the reason, you’re looking for another trail that’s different from other hikes in Yosemite National Park. Let me give you a suggestion: try hiking around the [...]
I often write about trails that can be hiked in various parks. However, this week I’d like to take you on a driving tour of Crater Lake—you don’t have to even get out of your vehicle! You’ll enjoy it more if you get out and walk around the viewpoints, but if you’re looking for a [...]
This week, I’d like to touch on a hike that isn’t very long. In fact, it’s only half a mile round trip! And, the trail is paved! Still, even though it’s a short walk, it is well worth it to see the falls—only a misty veil in the fall, but a ragging torrent during the [...]
One of the things I’ve realized about Glacier National Park is that they don’t tell you about all of the trails that are out there. You look at the literature they give you, and there’s a lot of hiking, mostly to lakes. However, the scope of hiking in the park goes far beyond what’s in [...]
If you’ve ever read the Ideas on Free Camping page of my website, you know that I much prefer free campgrounds to campgrounds that charge a fee. Part of this is due to the size of my group (many campgrounds have limits as to how many people can camp in a certain campsite), and part [...]
The Old Fall River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park isn’t open much of the year. In fact, of the five times I’ve visited the park, it’s only been open once to car travel. However, when it is open, it can be a fun hike, as well as a nice drive. The road is one-way [...]
Glacier National Park has always been synonymous in my mind with rain. From my experience, “Partly Cloudy” means “Pouring Rain All Day”. However, on our last trip to the park, Glacier redeemed itself: although it did rain two of the three days we were there, it never downpoured, and we never got soaked while trying [...]
Usually, I write about hiking. Long hikes to awesome views and pretty places all over the US. However, when I’m traveling, I don’t always hike. Sometimes, the best views are to be seen without hiking, and this can be terrific for those who either can’t hike or don’t want to. Today I’d like to tell [...]
