Trekking Torres Del Paine National Park in Patagonia

February 15, 2019 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

Trekking Torres Del Paine National Park in Patagonia

"The clearest way into the universe is through a forest wilderness.” - John Muir I like to think that John Muir was correct in many of his writings. And I also like to think that Torres del Paine is as close as it gets to the wilderness that he describes, the one that fuses the soul into the universe. Located at the southern end of Chile, deep in South America’s famed Patagonia region, this majestic national park surely ranks among the most … [Read more...]

Road Trip Part 4: The Salton Sea and Grand Canyon

October 29, 2018 by Steve Taylor1 Comment

Road Trip Part 4: The Salton Sea and Grand Canyon

In my early days of back-to-back cross-country road trips, my knowledge of photography was lacking, and my equipment was limited to a subpar cell phone camera. I have since learned the value of a good DSLR or mirrorless camera, as well as the versatility of a drone in capturing travel related photos. Still, I look back on my old road trip pictures with a nostalgia that's due in small part to their lower quality. It reminds me more vividly where I … [Read more...]

An Oasis in Death Valley is Restored Beyond Its Original Grandeur

An Oasis in Death Valley is Restored Beyond Its Original Grandeur

When exploring the vast open spaces of the Western United States, millions of travelers visit iconic National Parks like the Grand Canyon or Yosemite. For the uninitiated, Death Valley National Park may appear to simply be a wasteland with record breaking temperatures famous for frying eggs on blacktop. But dig deeper and you have one of the country’s largest National Parks with extremely comfortable daytime winter and early spring temperatures … [Read more...]

Sweet dreams are made of this: From Russia (with love) to South Korea by ferry

Sweet dreams are made of this: From Russia (with love) to South Korea by ferry

Sweet dreams are made of this. From Russia (with love) to South Korea by Ferry I get a good night's sleep after the wonderful exploration of Vladivostok yesterday. I think about taking a bus to the funicular railway, one of only two in Russia. The second one has just been built in Sochi for the recent Winter Olympics. However, I choose a lie-in and a good breakfast instead. The warmth of the hotel compared to the freezing temperatures outside … [Read more...]

Tent Camping at Point Sublime, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon!

September 1, 2017 by Craig Hebert2 Comments

Tent Camping at Point Sublime, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon!

Point Sublime, on the Grand Canyon's North Rim is located 18 miles off the beaten path.  Although a day trip is possible, we obtained an overnight permit weeks ago so we could watch the sunset and the sunrise at a place that can make one feel at peace and insignificant in the same moment. Research and Planning For several years we spoke of visiting the Grand Canyon, but never made time for the trip. Many barriers, some real and some … [Read more...]

Far and Away, Flat Out, The West’s Best Road Trip

Far and Away, Flat Out, The West’s Best Road Trip

It feels like we’re driving to the edge of the world where the water falls off. Infinity is just ahead. To the right are mountains that arc up from the basement of time. On the left, a dry lakebed now glassed with salt. This is the driest state in the country, not so surprising, but it is also the most mountainous, with some 300 ranges. If you look at a satellite photo of earth at night one of the brightest pixels is Las Vegas in … [Read more...]

Extra Fancy Sauce: Pebble Beach Food & Wine

I can honestly say that I’ve never been to an event quite like Pebble Beach Food & Wine. Over. The. Top. As I pulled up to the Grand Tasting in my Honda CRV, I giggled at the sign which read, “Free valet parking when you drive your Lexus,” and knew that I was in for something completely different at this tasting event. As I walked from my car to the enormous white tents hosting the festivities, I had a momentary concern that my … [Read more...]
