Oregon Caves NP in …. OREGON!

Yay! You guessed in… It was my first time there. Of course, it’s been a year now…

Crater Lake NP for the…?…time

Yeah I have no idea. I have been there quite a few times. Three? Four? Five?

Channel Islands: Anacapa

Here is something I had always wanted to do… visit the Channel Islands.

San Francisco Maritime: a ship sanctuary

Still on a mission to get all the passport stamps from the NPS. We are far from complete, but the Western Region is starting to look pretty full.

Eugene O’Neill not a fan of Charlie Chaplin

That’s a fun fact (although not so fun, but we’ll expand on that later).

Joshua Tree NP…again.

The first time I went I thought I’d never get the opportunity to go back. 

Kings Canyon National Park

I think this may be my favorite of the two sister parks. Is that wrong to say?

Sequoia National Park

Two days, two parks: Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park. Not at all disappointed.

Death Valley: dead and alive

I’ve been there so many times, and every time it blows me away.

¡Viva la Huelga! An hommage to César E. Chávez

Nice surprise on our way to Death Valley National Park: César E. Chávez National Monument!

Mount Lassen…

…That’s all folks. (Just one of my favorite places on earth.)

Next stop: Grand Canyon

Still didn’t make it to the bottom this time around, but went on a hike below the rim. 

Lake Mead and Hoover Dam

I took a trip around mid-June and never was able to edit and post the pictures because I got myself in a bit of a pickle.

Yosemite, Mono Lake, Mammoth Lakes and Bodie…

Fun packed!

Grand Canyon: I am the 10%

Don’t worry. This isn’t a political statement or anything, but only 10 percent of the people who visit the Grand Canyon actually go below the rim… And I am one of them!
