Donner Lake, or as I like to call it Lake Tahoe’s more manageable little brother, is less crowded than Tahoe but can be just as scenic. The sun quickly pops over the mountains here before going out of sight. Fortunately for me I got some nice light through the clouds before the cold dark night really set in.
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!
Zion has many amazing spots, and this place is no exception. The bridge over the river provides the perfect viewpoint to take in the sunset and see all the dramatic beauty that Zion has to offer.
Seeing lava flow into the ocean is a rare sight, but my timing was just right to see it on a recent trip to Hawaii. The lava near the Kilauea Volcano at the Kamokuna ocean entry produces a lot of steam as it hits the cool ocean, and at night you can see the red glow of the lava when the sun goes down
The sun sets through the haze above San Francisco. These warm colors could be almost anywhere until you realize that the Golden Gate Bridge is out there between the layers.
The tide went out, the sun went down. I was left on a cold dark beach. It was all worth it to get to see the sun sneaking behind these rocks over the ocean!
I came to the Southwest on this trip to ski, but I stayed for the sunsets. This view with Pueblo Peak in the background was particularly spectacular, and absolutely better than the skiing!
The redwoods generally steal the show at Mt. Tam, but these rolling hills are what caught my eye. Different layers of grassy hills make their way to the ocean for this awesome sunset.
I had to travel to Utah to do it, but I was able to find some fall colors!
A trip to San Diego isn’t complete without catching a sunset at the beach. Throw in some surfers doing their thing and the evening couldn’t be better!
