The Longmire Trail is a very family-friendly beautiful trail that winds around the Longmire Farm area. It goes past old cabins, wetlands, hot springs and has incredible views of both the Ramparts and Mount Rainier itself.
One of the best short day hikes in Georgia is up to Cowrock Mountain from Tesnatee Gap. However, the hike…
This photo is from Peachtree St looking at I-85 right where it merges with I-75 to form Atlanta’s Downtown Connector.
Mount Shasta is a potentially active stratovolcano in Northern California. I got to see it on the drive from Crater Lake National Park to Lassen Volcanic National Park.
The Southern Appalachians are known for their waterfalls. There are tall, famous ones like Duke’s Creek, Amicalola, Ruby, Jack’s, etc but I also love finding smaller ones along an off-trail creek.
On my visit to Crater Lake National Park, I got to explore some of the Park outside of the rim & the eponymous Lake. It had never really occurred to me that…the water in Crater Lake goes somewhere. Like, it never fills up and it also never sinks down. However, it maintains its level via rain / snowfall, evaporation and some seepage into the porous rock at the top.
However, even though no water leaves the caldera, the rim is incredibly steep, incredibly high, and incredibly snowbound. So it’s the source for a lot of creeks. And these creeks all run through volcanic soil, which creates some beautiful, complex canyons all around the Park.
Acadia National Park is small & compact, but very underrated. It’s a very special Park.
*like, sometimes I publish…a lot :O – though you can pick what categories you want.
