Finding the Subway Trail
Most of the National Parks I've visited follow a similar layout. You enter through the main gate and are then in the park. Most trails and "attractions" are within those park boundaries. But Zion is different. One of the truly great places to visit, namely, the Subway, is outside of the…
The Narrows in Zion National Park
We chose to spend one of our days in the park exploring The Narrows. This section of the park is farther up in the canyon. The walls narrow in and the river gets higher as it is forced to wind its way down the narrow Canyon. This "trail" requires…
Yes! We Made it to Zion National Park!
We made it all the way out to Zion National Park. It took 3 days from Northern California crossing 3 states. But we made it. And in the middle of a pandemic that had left us all locked down and inside for months, it was nice to…
And We're Off!!

Car, bus, van, or RV
Our first inclination was to travel by car for a while. But with the Coronavirus all the rage, we decided that it would be nice to have our…
Sunsets out here are the best.
Montaña de Oro
There are tons of amazing places to stop and see ocean views along the Pacific Coast Highway in California. But there is a special place that we continue to go back to time and time again. Montaña de Oro is a bit off the beaten path. But…
The Elfin Forest in Morro Bay, California
We've been all over this part of the coast for years. But we found another of those places that we have just passed by all these years and never explored. That place is the Morro Bay Estuary and the Elfin Forest. This area of Morro Bay is a…
The Famous Neptune Pool at Hearst Castle
The House on the Hill
I've driven past the entrance to Hearst Castle many, many times over the years. I've been to the old warehouses and the pier that Mr. Hearst built on the beach in San Simeon. I've even hiked out on the some of the Bluffs on…
