For the Denali park visitor there is something called the 30 percent club — based on the fact that 70 percent of those visitors to the park never get to see the actual mountain! At 20,320 ft. this mammoth peak, which is just a part of the Alaska Range, makes its own weather and is […]
14 years ago I was in Alaska for the first time. Yes, it was on my ‘someday’ list of places that I really never considered possible. I did some incredible things on that brief visit. I saw the bears salmon fishing in the falls at Brooks Camp, but in the few days we allotted for […]
Denali National Park at just the right time to join the 30 percent club It is said that only 30 Percent of the people that enter Denali National Park actually see the mountain.

The river is the Colorado and now its main channel is buried under Lake Powell. The formations are varied and scattered and […]
The Second Wave …. Vermilion Wilderness, Utah-Arizona I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, which enables me to reach many of the most iconic natural wonders in the American West within just a few hours of driving. What I have found amazing is how differently I respond to a scenic area after exploring it many times. […]
The Race Track Playa At Sunset … Death Valley N.P. Rebirth. That’s how I’ve always viewed spring. The planet turns from its deep hibernation into the slanted and longer lasting light of day to begin the growth of earth tones that will dominate the landscape in short time. The rejuvenation will come in bursts […]
When the John Wesley Powell expedition set sail on the Green River in 1869 they had no idea of where they were headed or what they would experience.
