Sunrise at the Grand Canyon

October 14, 2019 by Jacki UengLeave a Comment

As one might imagine, watching the sunrise at the Grand Canyon, a United Nations-dubbed World Heritage Site, is nothing short of amazing. Coming in at about 2,000 square miles, the Grand Canyon is truly massive. It’s so big, in fact, that watching the sunrise in one section of the canyon is oftentimes a completely different experience than watching it from another area. Why? The Grand Canyon has a huge variety of terrains and biomes. You can find … [Read more...]

Crashing and Burning at Randy’s Rock Rapid on the Wild Colorado

August 3, 2019 by Kevin Nelson4 Comments

On a rafting trip down the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, there are passages of high drama and excitement around every bend: House Rock Rapid, the Roaring Twenties, Little Colorado River, Crystal, Upset Rapid, Lava Falls. These are all very famous. Every guide on the river knows about them. Another rapid on the booming Colorado is not nearly as well known. You may float serenely past it without your guide even uttering a word about it, so … [Read more...]

Grand Canyon Tour for Mandarin Speakers

July 19, 2019 by Jacki Ueng1 Comment

MaxTour offers all-inclusive vacation packages to and around the Grand Canyon from Las Vegas. What makes this company stand out from the dozens of others is that all of their tour guides speak fluent Mandarin. Many tourists visiting from Mandarin speaking countries such as China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, often prefer to book tours with Chinese companies. This is also often the case for Chinese-Americans who have resided in the US for several decades … [Read more...]

Flowers Everywhere! Southern California’s Springtime Bloom

April 15, 2019 by Dave29 Comments

Driving out in the morning from Mission Viejo to Lake Elsinore mid week, I thought for sure I would have the poppy fields all to myself. I could not have been more wrong. Pulling off the 15 on Lake Street and heading onto Walker Canyon Road I soon found myself in a 'zoo'. Seemingly all of Los Angeles and Orange County had made the trek out this Wednesday morning - traffic officers were directing cars, cars were backed up all the way into Walker … [Read more...]

Trekking Torres Del Paine National Park in Patagonia

February 15, 2019 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

"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...]

Staying at Eugene Oregon’s Inn at the 5th Perfect for Exploring Southern Willamette Valley Wineries

November 14, 2018 by Steve Mirsky5 Comments

Downtown Eugene Oregon is decidedly more laid back and outdoorsy than much larger and more renowned Portland to the north. The University of Oregon's extensive in-town footprint and streets packed with local non-chain shopping make it a pedestrian haven. Strolling here especially on weekends during the warmer months envelops you in the city's music scene like a sax player belting out tunes under a cavernous overpass enhancing the acoustics and … [Read more...]

Road Trip Part 4: The Salton Sea and Grand Canyon

October 29, 2018 by Steve Taylor1 Comment

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...]
