Nevada – Viva Las Vegas
The rocks remind me of beehives or piles of strawberry sweetened whipped cream!

Eastern Sierra Fall Colors, Take Two
When I thought about putting away the fall colors and going on to SNOW, my brain started rebelling. WAIT – there are still cottonwoods hanging on to their leaves even if the aspens have dropped theirs. And, you left some nice aspen photos that deserve a showing. I traveled with some photographer friends VERY early…

Hiking the Northern Cascades, Washington, Table Mountain
I almost interrupted this series of hikes for a post from a recent lovely autumn day but decided to save it for next week (stay tuned), as this is the last hike in Washington state. Before we reached our destination, we stopped to see a thundering waterfall. No salmon could come home to lay eggs…

The Umpqua River is beautiful, it flows…

Hiking the Volcanos and Craters of the Eastern Sierras, Oh my!
This has been a summer of exploring Long Valley Caldera (looking for natural hot springs), and traveling to different craters. In the next post, I continue to visit craters in Oregon and Washington. On the Summer Solstice, I continued my quest for a hot spring. I had found one the week before, see post about…
