Capitol Reef National Park - Sulphur Creek Trail Capitol Reef National Park in south-central Utah protects 378 square miles of desert landscape. The park was named for its rounded Navajo Sandstone dome formations which bear a resemblance to the United States Capitol building and for its sheer sandstone cliffs, often referred to as a "reef", that presented a barrier to early explorers. The sandstone formations cover a section of the Waterpocket Fold, the second largest monocline in North America. Capitol Reef National Park is an oasis of twisting canyons, colorful sandstone cliffs, soaring monoliths, ridges, buttes and badlands. A true adventure land. Sulphur Creek is an extremely rewarding back-country river hike through a deep and scenic gorge in Capitol Reef National Park. The 12-mile out and back trail starts at the Chimney Rock Trailhead and ends at the Capitol Reef National Park visitor center, dropping over 500 feet in elevation along the way. The trail follows the labyrinth of drainages into the Moenkopi Formation. Once the dry gulch joins with Sulphur Creek you will be wading in the creek for several miles. There's a mile long narrows section with 10', 12' and 6' waterfalls, deep pools and 600 feet tall sandstone cliff walls. Sulphur Creek is rated 2C II using the canyon rating system. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5ea75af3d664255ee6dfe913/1588026144708/Escalante+River+Trail%2C+Grand+Staircase-Escalante+N.+M.%2C+southern+Utah.jpg UTAH - Escalante River Trail, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5ea654546fb8b6314075fbbe/1588026135231/Escalante+River+Trail%2C+Grand+Staircase-Escalante+National+M.jpg UTAH - Escalante River Trail, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument The Escalante River Trail traverses the 85 mile long canyon that stretches from the town of Escalante to Lake Powell. The Escalante River, a tributary of the Colorado River, cuts through remote wilderness of narrow slot canyons, white Navajo and red Wingate sandstone cliffs, natural bridges and arches. The trail requires frequent river crossing and wading. Sand Creek, Death Hollow, Coyote Gulch and Neon canyons are farther down the trail. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5ea6491580247c491e5277d7/1588034128800/Escalante+River+Trail%2C+Grand+Staircase-Escalante+National+Monument%2C+southern+Utah.jpg UTAH - Escalante River Trail, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is the last great American frontier. It is a vast one million acres of canyons, colorful sandstone cliffs rising above narrow slot canyons, natural bridges, washes, endless slickrock, monoliths, arches, prehistoric village sites and rugged, sun-drenched Utah back-country. It is a geological and paleontological dreamland. Its name refers to the steps in geologic layers of sandstone that are visible in the colorful sets of cliffs extending over the region. Several hundred Native American sites are spread throughout the protected land and fossil excavations in the monument have revealed more information about ecosystem change at the end of the dinosaur era than any other place in the world. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5ea63d67a60a2a212865377c/1587953054921/Grand+Staircase-Escalante+National+Monument%2C+southern+Utah.jpg UTAH - The Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument, southern Utah. The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM), located south of Capitol Reef National Park, currently covers roughly one million acres of America's protected lands and contains three geographically-distinct units: the Grand Staircase, Kaiparowits and the Escalante Canyons. Due to its remoteness, the area was the last part of the continental U.S. to be mapped. The protected area was reduced by almost 47 percent through a presidential proclamation in 2017. The proclamation allowed the protected public lands to be sold to fossil fuel companies and other private industries, threatening geological and paleontology research, petroglyphs, the area's endangered wildlife habitat and desert landscape. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e97901b7c4b4e20ca04c9db/1588211875571/Bryce+Canyon+National+Park%2C+UT.jpg UTAH - Bryce Canyon National Park Bryce Canyon Hiking Trails: The 8.2 miles, strenuous Fairyland Loop Trail, located in the northern part of the park, is a hikers dream. The trail begins at Fairyland Point and travels 900 feet down the rim through the labyrinths of Fairyland and Campbell Canyons. Once you reach the bottom of the canyon you will be totally surrounded by the red hoodoos (some known as China Wall), spires and other bizarre looking formations. The trail will slowly climb out of the Campbell Canyon over a series of switchbacks., providing the surreal views of Fairyland Canyon and Sinking Ship Mesa. The 2.2 miles, strenuous Navajo Loop Trail takes you 800 feet down the rim from Sunset Point into the amphitheater, winding through the narrow corridors of a section called Wall Street (a collection of hoodoo formations), passing the Silent City (a metropolis of spires and hoodoos) and an intersection with Queens Garden Loop Trail as well as the top of Peekaboo Loop Trail. Some of the best, moderate-level hikes in Bryce Canyon National Park: Peekaboo Loop Trail, Queen's Garden Loop, Tower Bridge Hike, Bryce Canyon Rim Trail. Some of the best, easy level hikes in Bryce National Park: The Rim Trail, Mossy cave Trail, Bristlecone Pines Loop, Sunset Point to Sunrise Point. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e97901306d88b1a24e92104/1587956911470/Bryce+Canyon+National+Park%2C+Utah.jpg UTAH - Bryce Canyon National Park Without the crowds of summer, and with fresh snow blanketing brightly orange sandstone formations, Bryce Canyon appears to be even more surreal and enchanted. The park is located at the elevation of 8,000 to 9,000 feet above sea level and during winter months often receives heavy snowfall which makes it a perfect spot for winter sports - snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e97900ddf462a71f20e3b00/1588272230476/Bryce+Canyon+National+Park+-+hiking.jpg UTAH - Bryce Canyon National Park Bryce Canyon, located in the Dixie National Forest in southwestern Utah, technically is not a canyon but a group of intricately eroded, horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. These amphitheaters began as piled-up layers of silt, sand, and limy sediments from the skeletons and shells of living animals. The amphitheaters, along with numerous colorful pinnacles called hoodoos, slot canyons, fins, windows and other uniquely bizarre formations, create an enchanting, maze-like landscape that made Bryce Canyon National Park worldwide famous. The colorful sandstones, mudstones and Claron limestones have been shaped by thousands of years of erosion, especially during winter months when freezing water expands within the cracks of the rock and forces the limestone to break down. The largest is Bryce Amphitheater, filled with irregularly eroded capped domes and hoodoos that are up to 200 feet high. Bryce Amphitheater is 12 miles long, 3 miles wide and 800 feet deep. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978ffd60893219486f69d1/1587603851590/Zion+National+Park+-+The+Observation+Point+%28Trail%29.jpg UTAH - Zion National Park - Observation Point Observation Point sits on top of the Navajo sandstone formation known as Mount Baldy at 6,521 feet above the sea level. The view of the Zion canyon from the highest vantage point in the park is breathtaking, although more distant than the view from the famous Angels Landing. It is due to the fact that Observation Point is located 700 feet higher than Angels Landing. Looking down into the canyon you will see the Virgin River snaking its way through the valley as well as an amazing display of stone formations - Angels Landing, the West Rim, Cathedral Mountain, the Three Patriarchs and Castle Dome to the right. To the left you will see the East Rim, Cable Mountain and Great White Throne. Farther away, at the southern section of Zion National Park is the Watchman. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978ff538a7f36cc72ac645/1587580509374/Zion+National+Park+-+The+Observation+Point.jpg UTAH - Zion National Park - Observation Point https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978fe9cdd27518fbe08f4f/1587605355532/Zion+National+Park+-+The+Observation+Point+hike+%282%29.jpg UTAH - Observation Point Trail - Echo Canyon https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978fdb0da1fb0182c5536b/1587605130561/Zion+National+Park+-+The+Observation+Point+hike.jpg UTAH - Zion National Park - Observation Point Trail The 8-mile round trip hike from the Weeping Rock Trailhead to the Observation Point atop Mount Baldy is strenuous and rather steep, with a number of long, exposed switchbacks hikers must climb and an elevation gain of over 2,000 feet. The trail embraces the side of the cliff and is often exposed to dramatic drop-offs along the switchbacks. It follows the East Rim Trail up and out of the canyon, offering great views of the lower reaches of the canyon and a glimpse into the dark and narrow slot of Echo Canyon suspended 1,100 feet above the canyon floor. A canyoneering permit is required to descend Echo Canyon. Once you reach the rim, it is less than a mile stroll to Observation Point. The area is overgrown with juniper trees and piñon pines. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978fc986eba30290eb0163/1587687494586/Zion+National+Park+-+The+Virgin+Narrows.jpg UTAH - Zion National Park - The Virgin Narrows The Narrows of the North Fork of the Virgin River, commonly known as The Narrows, is one of the most popular hikes in Zion National Park and one of the world's best slot canyon hikes. The Virgin River cuts deeply into the Navajo sandstone formations, just upstream from the Temple of Sinawava, forming a narrow corridor that winds through the northern section of the park. The Narrows begin just beyond the Mystery Canyon and from this point onward you will have to wade or swim to push on. Bottom-Up hikers can trek past the Orderville Canyon as far north as Big Springs which will make a scenic, all-day, ten-mile round trip hike. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978fad8a6f7e1c73434f10/1587521144975/Zion+National+Park+-+The+Angels+Landing.jpg UTAH - Angels Landing Angels Landing is a unique 1,488-foot tall rock formation in Zion National Park that provides a 360-degree view of the iconic Zion Canyon. The peak received its name in 1916 when a Methodist clergyman, Frederick Vining Fisher, stated that only an angel could land on top of it. The view from the summit of Angels Landing is sensational. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978f862ae4b10c11df1d1a/1587520800068/Zion+National+Park+-+Bright+Angel+Trail%2C+Utah.jpg UTAH - Zion National Park - Angels Landing Trail. Angels Landing is a strenuous hike along a steep narrow ridge and includes series of 21 short switchbacks called 'Walter Wiggles', full sun exposure, infrequent scrambling and rapid elevation gain. The trail to the summit ascends 1,488 feet over a distance of 2.5 miles and is considered to be the most dangerous hike in Zion National Park based on high accident rate. The final section climbs 450 feet up a narrow ridge featuring steep drop-offs of 800 to 1000 feet on either side. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978f757f3a9c07c22542a6/1587572242059/Zion+National+Park+-+Angels+Landing.jpg UTAH - Zion National Park - In the photograph: The view of the canyon from Angels Landing Trail. Zion National Park covers an area of 229 square miles of a vast wilderness that includes an amazing landscape of deep red canyons, expansive plateaus, mountains, sandstone cliffs, massive monoliths, buttes, arches and rivers. Before 1851, the land belonged to the Southern Paiute Indians. They used to call it Mukuntuweap 'Straight Canyon' and the name most likely referred to Zion's dramatic canyon walls. In the 1850s, Mormon pioneers who became the first European settlers in the Virgin River area named it Zion after the Old Testament name for the city of Jerusalem. Zion means 'Place of refugee'. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978f548a6f7e1c73433eb2/1587081937072/Winter+Camp+Slot.jpg UTAH - Winter Camp Slot Canyon outside of Arches National Park. Located less than thirty minutes from the outdoor mecca of Moab and near Arches National Park, Winter Camp Slot is a technical canyoneering route and is rated 3A II using the Canyon Rating System. The only rappel in the canyon is 190 feet from the canyon rim to the canyon floor. There are several anchor options on the ridge that include logs and rocks. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978f3f7f3a9c07c22539f4/1587346673356/Mohab+area%2C+Utah.jpg UTAH - Scenic drives around Moab Moab and the surrounding area are the natural breeding grounds for adventure. Driving on Moab's byways and backcountry roads provides unlimited panoramic views proving that the journey is often more important than a destination. The area's most scenic drives include Kane Creek which follows the eastern side of the Colorado River. After turning into a dirt road Kane Creek will take you to Kane Creek Canyon and eventually to Hurrah Pass. Highway 128, a 44-mile route is locally known as River Road. The road passes through a narrow red rock canyon before changing into an open desert landscape. La Sal Mountain Loop Road is a 60-mile drive through the La Sal Mountains full of alpine peaks and canyons that provide a strong contrast to Moab’s red rocks. The Potash Road, a 17-mile route takes you west along the twisty Colorado River to the site of a potash mine. The 18-mile scenic drive at Arches National Park traverses an amazing landscape of arches, balanced rocks, sky-scraping buttes and towers. The 35-mile Dead Horse Point Scenic Byway takes you through sandstone canyons atop the Island in the Sky. The breathtaking panorama of the Canyonlands at the Dead Horse Point which towers 2000 feet above the Colorado River is one of the most photographed scenes in the US. This is also the site of the final scene from the movie "Thelma and Louise". https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978f2532f7f24364736d0e/1587753405196/Utah+-+Canyonlands.jpg UTAH - Canyonlands National Park https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978f1947a3fb5089f6eacd/1587082064801/Winter+Camp+Slot+outside+Arches+National+Park%2C+Utah+.jpg UTAH - Winter Camp Slot Canyon outside of Arches National Park. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978eb947a3fb5089f6d74e/1588006496791/Canyonlands+National+Park+-+Island+In+The+Sky+-+Mesa+Arch%2C+Utah.jpg UTAH - Island In The Sky - beyond Mesa Arch Situated in the heart of the Colorado Plateau, the Island in the Sky is a massive 1500 foot mesa famous for its panoramic overlooks. Mesa Arch is one of the most popular and frequently photographed park landmarks, perfectly framing snow-capped La Sal Mountains named by Spanish explorers. In English, they are the Salt Mountains, due to salt deposits in that area. In the image, I am sitting between the arch and the edge of a 500-foot cliff which drops 1,200-foot down into Buck Canyon. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978ead3365344e6b4eb0cc/1587753430019/Canyonlands+National+Park+welcome+sign%2C+Utah.jpg UTAH - Canyonlands National Park Canyonlands National Park is the largest national park in Utah located in southeastern part of the state near the town of Moab. The Colorado and Green rivers divide the park into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the rivers themselves. The Park is known for its dramatic desert landscape formed by the currents and tributaries of Utah's Colorado and Green rivers. It is home to deep canyons, mesas, buttes, cliffs, towering rock pinnacles, arches and spires stretching across 527 square miles. Being wild, remote and exceptionally beautiful Canyonlands National Park provides great opportunities for stargazing, hiking, mountain biking, technical rock climbing, 4WD off-roading and whitewater rafting. It's a perfect playground for an adrenaline junkie. It is wild America. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978ea4cdd27518fbe04387/1587753441984/Canyonlands+National+Park%2C+Utah+-+scenic+overlook.jpg UTAH - Canyonlands National Park https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978e236e3f7f6c00580ef3/1586990652279/Hurrah+Pass%2C+Moab+-+Spelunking+in+Wind+Caves.jpg UTAH https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978e149dab7f59080364bb/1587061368324/Hurrah+Pass%2C+Moab%2C+Utah.jpg UTAH - Hurrah Pass, Moab If you long for a scenically beautiful drive, head out to Hurrah Pass. It is a 19.5 mile out and back dirt road/trail which begins 5.5 miles southwest of Moab at the Colorado River Canyon. Proceed down into Kane Creek Canyon and after crossing Kane Creek, bear right and begin climbing up toward the Hurrah Pass. You will drive by massive boulders, balancing rocks, hoodoos and rock spires. There is a number of water crossings on the trail. During heavy rainfall, Kane Creek turns into a rushing river of mud and quicksand and crossing becomes impossible. The top of the pass offers great views of Kane Creek Canyon and the Colorado River Canyon into Canyonlands National Park. Yelling 'Hurrah' once you reach the top of the Hurrah Pass seems like a splendid idea. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e978df73c1f543fe6a46f1d/1587091415528/Undercover+Slot+Canyon%2C+Utah.jpg UTAH - Undercover Slot Canyon also known as Lost & Found Canyon, Arches National Park, Utah The Undercover Slot Canyon is one of the greatest slot canyons in Moab area. It is located in a remote part of Arches National Park and getting there requires at least 80 minutes drive from Moab on backcountry dirt roads. Cows alongside the dirt road are a common sight. It is a technical canyon rated as 3AII. There are three rappels in the canyon. The first rappel is over 40 feet long. The second one is about 80 feet and the last one is an impressive 135 feet. From the bottom of the second rappel we went downstream into a section which you need to crawl through. The very narrow chimney leads to the platform where the last rappel awaits. The 135 feet rappel is anchored by two bolts on the side of the canyon. From the bottom of the third rappel we hiked to the sandy drainage known as MMI Canyon. From there we had to make our way out by climbing the slick-rock (class 3-5 rock climb) covered with sand. It may sound easy, but turned out to be the toughest part of our canyoneering adventure. It was very windy and we kept on sliding down until we finally succeeded on third or fourth attempt. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e78e4d0bf50e4266f70a0f5/1587083425944/Undercover+Slot+Canyon+in+Utah.jpg UTAH - Undercover Slot Canyon Southern Utah has the largest concentration of slot canyons in the world. A slot canyon is a long, narrow and deep gorge with vertical rock walls that are eroded into sedimentary rock. It took millions of years of erosion during which water carved the sandstone walls into surreal curves and angles. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e78e4b67792c261751a969d/1587079121478/Repeat+Jr.+Slot%2C+Utah.jpg UTAH - Repeat Jr. Slot Canyon located just outside of Arches National Park. We have made an unexpected and rather disturbing discovery while rappelling Repeat Jr. slot canyon. A caw in a process of decay was lying on the canyon floor. Poor animal must have wandered into the narrow gorge and eventually became a footstep for those rappelling down into the canyon. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e78e4a01bd64128b62b788f/1584983427291/Moab%2C+Utah.jpg UTAH https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e78e4919484e45ba0a50b28/1584983427274/Utah.jpg UTAH https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78e4747ad76d5324ba72d6/5e78e4741b2f1b47b32668e8/1587315000486/Wind+Caves%2C+Hurrah+Pass.jpg UTAH - The Wind Caves, Hurrah Pass The drive over Hurrah Pass is full of geological wonders. The Wind Caves farther down the dirt road were created by time, water and wind, just like many other rock formations on Hurrah Pass. The labyrinth of Cutler sandstone caves is very easy to access and their exploration doesn't require any technical gear. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/t/5e979f37e11f397f1c74aa1f/1586995002740/Utah.jpg UTAH http://www.thebutterflyeffectimages.com/costa-rica daily 0.75 2020-04-30 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78fefbbdc8f848d580957a/5e7bc48e02dc6e3ba6776264/1585169576100/Plants+of+Costa+Rica.jpg COSTA RICA https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78fefbbdc8f848d580957a/5e7bc101b40896614e9e9366/1585168986809/Howler+Monkey+in+a+tree+canopy+CR.jpg COSTA RICA - A young Howler Monkey feeding in the tree canopy of the forest. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78fefbbdc8f848d580957a/5e7bbe257811c16d3a871ff7/1585167915998/Howler+Monkey+-+baby.jpg COSTA RICA https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78fefbbdc8f848d580957a/5e7ba901c8d5151056db262f/1585163148037/Capuchin+Monkey+in+Manuel+Antonio+National+Park.jpg COSTA RICA - A curious Capuchin Monkey. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78fefbbdc8f848d580957a/5e7b9e3638fe862990a03405/1585159814652/Bogarin+Trail%2C+La+Fortuna%2C+Red-Eyed+Leaf+Frog.jpg COSTA RICA - Red-Eyed Leaf Frog https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78fefbbdc8f848d580957a/5e7b98c0233b0c2521b86800/1585159981681/Carara+National+Park+-+bird+watching.jpg COSTA RICA - Bird watching in Carara National Park. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78fefbbdc8f848d580957a/5e7b917c51bd3b30cb60af49/1585157482408/River+Crocodile%2C+Manuel+Antonio.jpg COSTA RICA - A crocodile approaching our boat floating in a dense mangrove forest canal, Tarcoles River. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78fefbbdc8f848d580957a/5e7aae40284dcc611efd1c45/1585098899393/Manuel+Antonio+National+Park.jpg COSTA RICA - Manuel Antonio National Park https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e78fefbbdc8f848d580957a/5e7a9e2e62d40924753483e4/1585096202600/Villas+Nicolas+-+tarrace.jpg COSTA RICA - Waking up to the view of the Pacific Ocean and sounds of the morning calls of the howler monkeys that pierce your soul.

Most of the area we now call the Garden District was originally platted as the Faubourg Livaudais, created from the Livaudais plantation in 1832. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e7e50951173962cc085472e/5e82687b699ef250abde5fd0/1585610492934/The+home+of+Anne+Rice.jpg LOUISIANA - 1239 First Street, the home of Anne Rice and her Mayfair Witches. ‘In the spring of 1988, I returned to New Orleans, and as soon as I smelled the air, I knew I was home.

It's the most intact plantation complex in the South, with thirty-seven buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, including twenty-two slave cabins. The main house was constructed in 1790 and renovated to its current Greek Revival style in 1832. It was a privately owned operating sugar cane plantation until the depression in 1930, when it became bank owned. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/t/5e83d3c8f07ae0618d6536e2/1585697740549/French+Quarters%2C+New+Orleans.jpg LOUISIANA http://www.thebutterflyeffectimages.com/arizona daily 0.75 2020-04-30 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e8cf9677a07cd31bb2fde5b/1586361837737/Grand+Canyon+-+the+Bright+Angel+Trail%2C+Arizona.jpg ARIZONA - The Grand Canyon - The Bright Angel Trail The Grand Canyon, often considered to be one of the Wonders of the World, is located in the northwest corner of Arizona in Coconino County, close to the borders of Utah and Nevada. Most of the canyon lies within Grand Canyon National Park and is managed by the National Park Service, the Hualapai Tribal Nation and the Havasupai Tribe. The canyon is 277 miles long and more than a mile deep. Traveling by car, you will have to cover the distance of 220 miles to get from one rim of the canyon to the other. Traveling by foot via the Kaibab Trails, the distance across the canyon is only 21 miles. Kaibab is a Paiute Indian word meaning ‘mountain lying down.’ If you decide to venture below the rims of the canyon, you can either hike, take a mule trip or a river boat trip. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e8cf95e7b702f769c3c99a9/1586368806462/Grand+Canyon%2C+The+Bright+Angel+Trail.jpg ARIZONA - The Grand Canyon - The Bright Angel Trail The Bright Angel’s trailhead starts on the south rim at the Grand Canyon Village, descending 4380 feet to the Colorado river. The trail follows a path that Native Americans and 19th-century explorers took into the canyon, descending through series of switchbacks to the Indian Garden (4.8 miles) and a suspension bridge across the Colorado River to Bright Angel Campground (9.5 miles) and nearby Phantom Ranch (9.9 miles). It is the best maintained route into the canyon with an easy access to rest houses, toilets, emergency phones and most of all clean drinking water. It takes four to five hours to get to the campground and twice as long to get back. January temperatures at the south rim can drop as low as 18F. During our late June hike down the canyon the temperature reached 112F and it didn’t take us long to understand how vulnerable to the heat we were. Bring plenty of water, wear loose, breathable and moisture absorbing clothing as well as a full-brimmed hat. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e88e69e05fde74b6f3b6bbd/1586224315039/Sanctuary+on+Camelback+Mountain+Resort+%26+Spa.jpg ARIZONA - Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa covers 53 acres of desert dotted with saguaros, orange trees, palm trees and colorful evergreen shrubs called bougainvillea trees. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e88e69a06e7117ae5fcbae8/1586223805549/Sanctuary+on+Camelback+Mountain+Resort+%26+Spa+-+Horses+sculptures..jpg ARIZONA - Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa The unique sculptures of the horses can be purchased. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e88e687a4e68d60670cfa01/1586223436818/Sanctuary+on+Camelback+Mountain+Resort+%26+Spa+property+grounds.jpg ARIZONA - Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e88e668138b9761ef8d08b0/1586223423511/Sanctuary+on+Camelback+Mountain%2C+AZ.jpg ARIZONA - Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa An infinity-edge pool, Zen meditation garden, and Asian-inspired Sanctuary Spa make the hotel and its grounds an oasis in a jungle of the surrounding city. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e88e65ee37ead7fc5559eb1/1586222945229/Sanctuary+on+Camelback+Mountain+Resort+%26+Spa%2C+Arizona.jpg ARIZONA - Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa Little paradise in Paradise Valley - Nestled near Camelback Mountain and Paradise Valley, the resort that consists of secluded, separate bungalows is incredibly beautiful and a desert experience it provides is truly unique.

For centuries, wild horses have roamed the Navajo Nation tribal lands, serving as the iconic image of the American West. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e88e60ebdeecc11b755930b/1588276098994/Wildcat+Trail+at+Monument+Valley%2C+AZ.jpg ARIZONA - Monument Valley - The Wildcat Trail. The Monument Valley is a part of Colorado Plateau located on the Utah-Arizona border that stretches more than 90,000 acres. A plateau is a vast, elevated stretch of a land, bordered on at least one side by steep cliffs. The Colorado Plateau has been broken down by canyons into much smaller plateaus. Mesas are flat-topped remains of a plateau rising above the valley floor. In time, a continuing erosion will turn a mesa into a butte, an isolated rock formation with steep sides and a flat top that is as tall as it is wide. Eventually, an erosion will transform a butte into a pinnacle or a spire which, too, will collapse someday, joining the layers of red sand on the valley floor. The Wildcat Trail, a 3.2-mile loop hike that weaves among the iconic formations of Monument Valley, is one of the two trails in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park that visitors can hike without being escorted by an authorized guide. The trail loops around the West Mitten Buttte, offering scenic views of both East and West Mittens and Merrick Butte. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e88e5c979e6836f5f9cc844/1586369536038/The+Ritz-Carlton%2C+Dove+Mountain.jpg ARIZONA - The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, Marana.

The tallest saguaro cactus ever measured towered over 78 feet into the air. Saguaros don’t grow above an elevation of about 4,000 feet since they can't survive low temperatures and frost. The temperature in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert often exceeds 100F and the land only receives 3-15 inches of rain annually. In order to survive saguaros had to develop special adaptation skills. One key for survival in the desert is how much water they can store. The more arms a saguaro has, the more water it can store and the more sites there are to be visited by potential pollinators increasing the plant's reproductive capacity. They may grow their first side arm any time from 75–100 years of age. Some saguaros never grow any arms. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e88e485bdeecc11b7554c8f/1586210750457/Saguaro+National+Park%2C+AZ.jpg ARIZONA - Saguaro National Park The saguaros growing within the Saguaro National Park have been protected since 1933 when the area was designated as Saguaro National Monument. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e88e479959bb658fcfc785e/1586210741964/Saguaro+National+Park%2C+Arizona+Desert.jpg ARIZONA - Saguaro National Park Giant Saguaros provide homes to a variety of birds. The gilded flicker and Gila woodpecker excavate nest cavities inside the saguaro’s pulpy flesh and use their burrows as protection against summer heat and harsh winter cold. Those birds typically wait several months before moving in to give the pulp of the cactus time to dry and create a solid casing around the cavity. Birds often drill holes to get to the water stored inside. The saguaro seals off the hole with scar tissue to prevent water loss. When a bird abandons a cavity, other birds such as screech owls, purple martins, cactus wrens, flycatchers, and finches move in. Red-tailed hawks, great horned owls and ravens use saguaros for nesting and hunting platforms. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e88e46ce83f5a00463eede4/1586210789051/Saguaro+National+Park+hike.jpg ARIZONA - Saguaro National Park Saguaros, the supreme symbol of the American Southwest, are uniquely beautiful. Having said that, one cannot forget that their beauty far exceeds the shade they offer. Summer temperatures in the Sonoran Desert can soar to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit and it is very easy to get dehydrated while chasing sunsets or other amazing vistas. Therefore, whether you are taking an easy nature trail hike or a day-long back-country trek, make sure you drink lots of water and minimize food intake - food requires water for digestion. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e88e464e83f5a00463eeb64/1586210503394/Saguaro+Nat.+Park.jpg ARIZONA https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e88e45c8c5a9226d7bc30c8/1586210723560/Saguaro+Nat.+Park+Arizona.jpg ARIZONA - Saguaro National Park Saguaro National Park is divided into two separate areas: the Tucson Mountain District about 10 miles west of the city of Tuscon and the Rincon Mountain District about 10 miles east of the city. The Tuscan Mountain District is lower in elevation and covered with dense saguaro forest. The eastern section is larger and closer to the mountains. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e88e4449355142d1e754651/1586210705530/Red+Hills+Visitor+Center%2C+Saguaro+National+Park.jpg ARIZONA - Red Hills Visitor Center - Saguaro National Park There are over 165 miles of hiking trails in Saguaro National Park, ranging from easy nature trail hikes to full day-long wilderness treks and multi-day overnight adventures. The Saguaro National Park is famous for its namesake majestic cactus which grows primarily only in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and Mexico. In addition to Saguaros, there are 24 other species of cacti growing in the park. 230 species of vertebrate desert critters, ranging from ground squirrels and Gila woodpeckers to mule deer and bobcats call Saguaro National Park their home. Stop by the visitor center for maps and literature on the flora and fauna of the park. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e88e441776c472b722db25c/1586221470478/Hiker+sitting+on+a+boulder+at+Saguaro+National+Park.jpg ARIZONA - Saguaro National Park The saguaro plays an extremely important role in the culture of local Native American tribes, particularly the Tohono O’odham. Most of the tribe’s saguaro creation stories involve humans turning into saguaros. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5e88e42fa75db67652ff8d25/5e88e4303d751119c50c441d/1586210674816/Blooming+Saguaro%2C+Saguaro+Nat.+Park%2C+Arizona.jpg ARIZONA - Saguaro National Park The wild flowers blooming season extends from early to late March. In April and June the saguaro themselves bloom producing delicate, creamy-white blossoms. The blooms open at night and live through the following afternoon providing a window of opportunity for their pollinators - bees, wasps, bats, moths, butterflies, ants, beetles, white-winged doves, orioles, Gila woodpeckers, hummingbirds, house finches, gilded flickers, curve-billed thrashers and verdins visiting the flowers for nectar. The blooms mature into red fruits - a source of nutrition for numerous desert animals as well as desert tribes. The fallen fruits feed bobcats, coyotes, wood rats, Harris’ antelope squirrels, black-tailed jackrabbits, mule deer, javelinas (a member of a family of mammals known as the peccaries), desert tortoise, and many others. The saguaro’s bloom is Arizona’s state flower. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/t/5e890988a4e68d606712e9e1/1586039183107/Saguaro+National+Park+in+Arizona.jpg ARIZONA http://www.thebutterflyeffectimages.com/colorado daily 0.75 2020-04-30 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab36ea5d25ab41038c75c8/1588288819051/Colorado+summit+hikes+%26+drives+guides.jpg COLORADO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab36daf51f31044b19e335/1588279006932/Toyota+FJ+cruiser+at+Maroon-Snowmass+Trail+area..jpg COLORADO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab36cfcac3af5144e8f101/1588278995578/Torreys+-+close+to+the+peak.jpg COLORADO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab36be05f5715268318a22/1588902190526/Taylor+Pass%2C+CO.jpg COLORADO - Taylor Pass A number of high elevation mountain passes have been built around the state of Colorado to connect nearby towns, provide safe passages through the mountains and allow travelers to enjoy the breathtaking scenery of the Rockies. The 8.5-mile long Taylor Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 11,948 feet above the sea level, located in Gunnison National Forest. The route that requires 4WD climbs steadily through Aspen groves. The terrain around the pass is extremely rugged and will put your driving skills to the test. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab36a4cd6b80283eee820c/1588278952866/Quandry+Peak%2C+Colorado.jpg COLORADO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab369611f74c62aa3ba9bf/1588289122390/Quandary+Peak+via+West+Ridge+hike%2C+CO.jpg COLORADO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab368d17be9d7c1e9b7431/1588278929750/Quandary+Peak+trail+sign+.jpg COLORADO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab367c05f5715268317308/1588278913895/Quandary+Peak+hike+via+west+ridge.jpg COLORADO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab366f87df0747850a18bf/1588278904859/Quandary+Peak+hike+via+west+ridge%2C+Colorado.jpg COLORADO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab36648d46906141b11f96/1588712191598/Mount+Sherman%2C+Mosquito+Range%2C+Colorado.jpg COLORADO - Mount Sherman, Mosquito Range of the Rocky Mountains Mount Sherman is a rounded 14,036 foot high mountain summit in the Mosquito Range of the Rocky Mountains that can be climbed year-round. The mountain is considered to be one of the easiest and the most unremarkable of the 14ers to climb, however, it should not be underestimated. High altitude and strong winds will make you work hard before you reach the summit. The most popular route to the summit is from the east, via Fairplay and Fourmile Creek and passes the ruins of Dauntless and Hilltop Mines. If you park your car at Fourmile Creek at 11,950 feet, your round-trip hike to the summit will be slightly over 5 miles and you will only climb 2,100 feet of elevation. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab364a476a632fe4c49d10/1589145900686/Mount+Sherman+%27almost%27+summit%2C+Mosquito+Range+of+the+Rocky+Mountains+-+14%2C043-foot+fourteener.jpg COLORADO - Mount Sherman, Mosquito Range of the Rocky Mountains On a sunny day, from the summit of Mount Sherman you'll have sweeping views of the Sawatch Range to the West, the Mosquito and Ten Mile ranges to the north, and the South Park grassland basin to the East. On a day I hiked, dense fog concealed the trail in an eerie white veil. As I gained elevation, the fog thickened and I caught myself wondering what could be lurking in the white space ahead. A grizzly bear? Highly impossible. The last one was killed in 1979. A ghost of an infamous outlaw Butch Cassidy? A mountain goat? A glimmer of hope for an unusual encounter quickly vanished into thin air when a few hikers slowly passed me on their way down from the summit. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab363c1a69944531193c85/1588289213996/Maroon+Snowmass+Trail%2C+West+Snowmass+Trail%2C+CO.jpg COLORADO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab349a5d25ab41038bbc21/1588290057368/Grays+%26+Torreys+winter+hike%2C+CO.jpg COLORADO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab348f9bdb2a7a59012a0a/1588278418779/Grays+%26+Torreys+trail+-+mountain+goat.jpg COLORADO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab34895105576e5ce37241/1588278547082/Deer+on+a+dirt+road+to+Quandry+Trail+trailhead..jpg COLORADO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab34798ad3ef7e29f0c265/1589325957649/Cooper+Creek%2C+Pearl+Pass%2C+Montezuma+Basin+backroad+sign.jpg COLORADO - The Montezuma Basin Castle Peak is typically approached via Montezuma Basin. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab345d38b31035707f2ca5/1588896475954/Colorado.jpg COLORADO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab3445cac3af5144e8264e/1589317772846/Castle+Peak%2C+Colorado.jpg COLORADO - Castle Peak - The Elk Mountains At 14,040 feet Conundrum Peak is a northern sub-summit of Castle Peak. The distance between the summit of Castle Peak and the summit of Conundrum Peak is only 0.6 miles and that is why both peaks are often hiked jointly via the saddle between them. There are several couloirs on the sides of both mountains that allow back-country skiing descents. Glissading through patches of snowfields is another , both fast and enjoyable, way of descending the mountain. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab343d824ddc4353d4d945/1589317885282/Castle+Peak+trail%2C+CO.jpg COLORADO - Castle Peak Trail https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab3431aa7a3374f86d78d6/1589312852597/Castle+Peak+hike%2C+CO+-+14%2C265ft.jpg COLORADO - Castle Peak Trail - The Elk Mountains At 14,279 feet Castle Peak, located near Aspen, is the highest summit of the Elk Mountains and the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness. It is considered to be the easiest (difficult class 2) 14er in the Elk Range to climb with only 1,500 feet of elevation gain if you start your ascent at the highest trailhead at about 12,800 feet (high clearance 4WD vehicle required to get to this trailhead). There are two non-technical, class 2 routes for ascent. The Northwest Ridge is characterized by an average snow climb and a relatively easy ridge scramble that follows. The snow climb on the Northeast Ridge is not steep, but the route requires more scrambling. Both routes have some exposed, loose rock sections. Castle Peak may not be as difficult or exposed as Maroon Bells, Capitol Peak, Snowmass Mountain or some other 14ers in the Elk Range, nevertheless, due to notoriously loose rock hikers should exercise caution. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab34275d25ab41038b89e6/1588279104709/ATVs+riding%2C+Colorado.jpg COLORADO https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab341c72d9460d3e360da6/1589324972963/Argentine+Pass%2C+Colorado.jpg COLORADO - Argentine Pass, Rocky Mountains - 13,207 ft Argentine Pass, elevation 11,600 to 13,207 feet, is a high mountain pass that used to be a wagon road over the Continental Divide, Rocky Mountains. In 1864 silver was discovered near Argentine Pass which at that time was known as Sanderson Pass, named after a family that ran a stagecoach over the pass. The discovery of silver and gold deposits resulted in a creation of the Argentine Mining District. The Latin name for silver is 'argenti' which may explain why the pass was renamed Argentine Pass. It connects Clear Creek and Summit Counties. Only the eastern (Georgetown) side of this narrow and steep pass is drivable during the summer and early fall months by a 4WD high- clearance vehicle. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/5eab340a0cc3b16a51bfafab/5eab340a7d7864661a4fe6d9/1588279316914/Argentine+Pass%2C+Colorado+-++13%2C207+ft.jpg COLORADO - Argentine Pass, Colorado - 13,207 ft https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5381ced0e4b00a843b776df8/t/5eab338130ddad36b777cd45/1588278149838/Argentine+Pass%2C+Colorado.jpg COLORADO
