Mesa Verde National Park Colorado
A lesser mentioned destination the cliff dwellings of Mesa Verda defied the imagionation and inspired such wonder.
Dinosaur Footprints Arizona
A very badly painted sign draws my attention to an easily missed but very enjoyable national treasure.
Monument Valley – Again – Utah
This was one of my favorite destinations – the beauty of this pace could engulf your entire spirit. The Jeep was far less appreciative.
Ashfall Fossil Beds – Nebraska
I got to meet extinct American Rhinos – and a “horned rodent” among other things.
Mount Rushmore South Dakota
The most underwhelming enormous monument ever!
Fossil Butte National Monument – Wyoming
A pilgrimage to a historic paleontological site.
Redwood National Park California
While seeking giant trees I instead find… a chip-a-lope.
San Francisco California
A beautiful city full of surrises. This East Coast girl finds a new favorite spot.
Yosemite California
I am forced to drive past a heavily guarded military installment in order to meet the world’s oldest pregnant deer. Oh, and waterfalls. Lots of waterfalls.
