Sequoia National Park: the Muir Grove Trail

For those used to long distance hiking the Muir Grove Trail is nothing more than a stroll in the woods. For the rest of us, it can be considered a challenge. Four miles doesn’t sound like such a long way until you start hiking it. Then, as you lumber along a forest floor trail, climbing…

Three Days in Bluff, Utah

A part of my Four Corners Vacation 2011 We pulled into the town of Bluff at dinnertime. “Town” is not really an accurate word to use when describing Bluff. When I think of a town, I expect to see a Main Street lined with brick building businesses such as a hardware store and a bank.…

Save a few Hours for Salt Lake City’s Red Butte Garden

After a morning bus tour of Hollywood we headed to the Getty Center. Their website tells you to arrive early since their parking garage often fills.

Visiting San Diego: Zoos “Sure Ain’t What They Used To Be”

I don’t remember the first time I visited a zoo. What I do remember is the excited anticipation of seeing wild animals that you were never going to see in the wild. That, and the endless searching, in treetops and at the back of dark, man made caves, behind boulders, and around hidden corners, searching and…
