Asian adventure 2011: Saturday daytrip from Chiang Mai
The scenic national parks and surrounding countryside was a major reason we chose Chiang Mai as a destination. From the beginning I knew we wanted to see some of the many waterfalls in the region,...
A weekend around Lake Tahoe
In mid-October I spent 10 days at a conference in Davis, CA. With a free weekend I drove out to explore South Lake Tahoe, and wow, was I impressed at the landscape. Over several hikes I saw nine...
Soufriere: snorkeling, waterfalls, gardens and mineral baths
As we mentioned previously, we spent about a day and a half wandering around the island of St. Lucia and most of that time was spent in and around Soufriere on the southwest coast. Friday afternoon...
waterfalls in western Washington
After the long Wallace Falls hike, we continued down Highway 2 and did some shorter hikes (read: downhill scrambles) to several other roadside falls along Deception Creek and the Tye River. A few of...
Wallace Falls State Park

waterfalls in western NC
It's always nice to be able to get away to the NC (or VA) mountains for at least one weekend in the fall. Although the first day was very sunny - great for hiking but not so good for waterfall...
waterfalls in Yosemite National Park
The first official waterfall close-up on the trip was Bridal Veil Falls. It's more or less a roadside view, so get there early to get a parking spot and share the short hike with lots of other park...
West Virginia waterfalls, day 2
We were able to get an early start out of Beckley and headed east on I-64 to the Sandstone area for our first two falls of the day. Brooks Falls was rather underwhelming, but Sandstone Falls (below)...
West Virginia waterfalls, day 1
Ever since we bought this book a few years ago, we have been planning to head up to West Virginia to seek out some waterfalls. Back in early May, we had the perfect combination of cool weather and...
waterfall hiking in Dominica
One the main ambitions of this trip was to see as many waterfalls as time would allow. We only hit one falls, Bwa Nef, in our first two days, but on the trip to our middle hotel, we drove right by...
Morne Trois Pitons National Park
Morne Trois Piton park is a World Heritage Site set outside of Roseau, the main town. From my research I was expecting a spectacular tropical setting with great hikes, boiling lakes, waterfalls...
Dominica, the north end
Eric purposely booked us into a place near the airport for our first two nights, so when we arrived in the late afternoon all we had to do was get into a hammock and enjoy our delicious welcome...
Humacao Nature Preserve and El Yunque
The weather was supposed to be unpredictable on Sunday, so we rescheduled our planned snorkeling trip via email to Monday and headed down to the Humacao Nature Preserve instead. Supposedly, this...
El Yunque (take 1)
One of the main reasons we decided to stay on the northeast side of the island was to be close to the El Yunque and all the waterfalls. So, on our first full day, we packed up the camera and headed...
more waterfalls off the Blue Ridge Parkway
After the long drive on forest service roads to several waterfalls on Sunday morning, we headed a little further down the Blue Ridge Parkway, enjoying the views. The sun came out nicely at the...
