Summer Snow

Summer is winding down to its final days, and as usual I already have snow and ski season on the brain. We got our first snow in Tahoe this week, and I dug into the archives to find this image of some early snow in the Eastern Sierras. Winter is coming and the mountains are calling!

It’s Hard to Keep Driving

It’s hard to keep driving when all the roads look like this. The natural beauty of Zion is amazing, and the narrow strips of road that run through it get you where you need to go while providing a contrasting perspective.

The Switchbacks

This road is intimidating in a vehicle, but the cyclist zooming towards me has a steep descent in front of him. From here he’ll make his way down the switchbacks you can see to the left, and ultimately to the far right below. One brave cyclist even passed our bus on this winding road, not for the faint of heart!

Wide Open Roads

Going all the way around an entire country, even if it is a small one like Iceland, requires a lot of driving. The roads go through the wild and varied landscape of Iceland, which meant I was never bored along the way. The bigger problem I had was trying not to stop at every beautiful vista, because if I had I’d never have gotten home!

Little Cottonwood Canyon

The rewards of skiing in Little Cottonwood Canyon are not only the fluffy Utah powder, but the sunset you are treated to on the way back down the mountain. Even though I was tired after a long day of skiing I made time to stop and appreciate this beautiful sunset.

The Road to Joshua Tree

This is a good road. It leads to many great adventures in Joshua Tree National Park. Fortunately, traffic wasn’t much of a problem and I was able to take the photo documenting the journey on the way in.

Centerline

I went to Oregon for the nature, but sometimes the man made objects are just as interesting. This bridge was old, but the asphalt was new and the centerline was a nice complement to the bright green trees above.

Drive into the Light

Just before sunset, the aspens on Monitor Pass lit up the most brilliant yellow I have ever seen.


A Tree Between Two Roads

This tree looks lonely, it has no friends to hang out with. Instead it just has the concrete and traffic to keep it company.
