Hi everyone! I had an unexpected interruption to my travels, but I’m back to work and looking forward to sharing more content and photos in the next few weeks. Coming soon.. baby owls! In the meantime, this is Larry. He was awesome! Continue reading Canine Traveler: Larry
Anyplace where I can see moose, elk, bison, eagles and either a very large coyote or possibly a wolf, all within a single day, is definitely a place I want to hang out for a while. I had seen the photos of Oxbow Bend, and the Grand Teton peaks, but I wasn’t prepared for the dramatic imposing scale of these mountains as they seem to … Continue reading Grand Teton National Park
I was so excited to find this handsome boxer, that I forgot to get his name! He was adorable and snugly. Continue reading Canine Traveler
I had never heard of Lava Hot Springs until the day before I arrived, when I noticed it was just about the right amount of miles between me and the Grand Tetons for an overnight stop. I ended up staying two nights in this quiet little community whose claim to fame is their world famous hot springs. I arrived in Idaho after a longer than usual … Continue reading Lava Hot Springs, Idaho
Oops! How did I miss publishing this post on Death Valley? Oh well, I goofed and here it is! “Did you know Death Valley is almost the exact same size as the state of Connecticut?” That was the question posed to me by the Park Ranger as I picked up my park map and newspaper at the Furnace Creek Visitor’s Center, and no, I did … Continue reading Death Valley National Park
I made it to the West Coast! It took me two months via a crazy route, but I made it. I’m not sure what exactly I was expecting, but I think I had California all wrong in my head. My experience with the area was limited primarily to business trips through the LA and San Diego area, when I was rushed and driving from one … Continue reading Northern California
Today is the halfway mark on my four month trip around the lower 48 states. It’s been amazing! I’ve made it all the way to the southernmost part of the U.S., and to the lowest point in the North America. I’ve watched dolphins play in the Atlantic, swam with fish in the Gulf of Mexico, descended into the depths of Carlesbad, hiked hundreds of miles, … Continue reading Life on the Road (So Far)
Zion is basically Disney World for nature geeks. I’m serious. The parking lots fill up early in the day, so your best bet is to get in line for the well run shuttle that stops at every major beautiful natural attraction you may want to see in the park. The trail heads mostly start right in the area of the shuttle stop, and there is … Continue reading Zion National Park
Bryce really is this colorful. I’ve wondered about that every time I’ve seen a photograph of the beautiful hoodoos there, and always assumed that photographers were over saturating their photos, but no. I entered the area through the Dixie National Forest first, and literally had to pull over to just look at the rocks for a moment. It was late afternoon and they were glowing … Continue reading Bryce Canyon National Park
