Stough Creek Pass, in the far south of the Wind River Range of Wyoming, is only known because it’s en route to the more famous Stough Creek Lake Basin. But the pass is certainly beautiful enough to be a destination…
It’s official! I’ve published another travel book – “A View Junkie’s Guide to Dayhiking Washington” by Anne Whiting! This one takes day hikers to Washington, where (per the back cover) they can experience some of the best scenery Washington has…
While we’re on the topic of waterfalls, I thought I’d post about another little waterfall, this one in central Colorado. Although Horsethief Falls isn’t the most spectacular falls in the country, it’s a great little hike (2.6 miles RT) if…

I own a Canon PowerShot SX150. It’s a great camera; I mean, really, really great if you’re looking for a point and shoot that takes fabulous pictures. (You can read my review of the Canon 150 here.) But two of…
