Death Valley – Texas Springs Campground

Death Valley – Texas Springs Campground

Returned to camp after watching the sunset at Zabriskie Point.  Hours of driving made me quite tired, but clear skies & views of the stars granted me a second wind.  I wasn’t getting cell service anywhere in the park except […]

Death Valley – Zabriskie Point

Death Valley – Zabriskie Point

After leaving Artists Drive I didn’t have much daylight left but it still felt too early to call it a day.  What to do next?  A quick read of the park’s newspaper pointed me to Zabriskie Point which they claim […]

Death Valley – Artists Drive

Death Valley – Artists Drive

Generally when I take these last-minute trips where I’ve done little to no planning, my first destination is always something “easy” to get things started.  Today that location was Artists Drive which is located only about 10 miles south from […]

Death Valley – Furnace Creek

Death Valley – Furnace Creek

Woke early today, picked up supplies at Walmart, and started driving west from Las Vegas towards Death Valley National Park.  Desert highways appeared to stretch into infinity, and because it was a Tuesday in the off-season I was often the […]

Great Smoky Mountains National Park – Laurel Falls

Great Smoky Mountains National Park – Laurel Falls

There are no shortages of hikes or waterfalls in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and luckily my next stop wasn’t far after leaving Cataract Falls.  Only several miles up the road, Laurel Falls is another popular short day hike.  Parking at […]

Great Smoky Mountains National Park – Cataract Falls

Great Smoky Mountains National Park – Cataract Falls

Left Newport this morning and bid Kelly farewell; she was heading east for work and I had to go west for tomorrow’s outbound flight.  Sunshine and 40 degree temps made for excellent hiking weather (something we could have used the […]

Clingmans Dome

Clingmans Dome

Several days into the trip and we finally made it to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.  First stop was Clingmans Dome, the highest point in Tennessee and the infamous Appalachian Trail.  Views here looking over the mountain range are […]

Effigy Mounds National Monument

Effigy Mounds National Monument

After making a mistake with campsite reservations at Wyalusing (and a less than restful stay at the last motel available), I woke early and headed to the Effigy Mounds National Monument in Harpers Ferry, Iowa.  I didn’t know much about […]

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park

Today I tried to be pro-active and book lodging before actually arriving to my destination (what a crazy idea, right?).  Well, in this case it worked against me.  Booked a hotel in Santa Fe, NM thinking I would have time […]

Arches National Park

Arches National Park

After Capitol Reef I had a decision to make – skip some parks and start driving south, or press my luck and go for more.  Made some distance calculations with my road atlas (no cell service out here anywhere) and […]
