Lone Pine & Mount Whitney Gallery
I’m not a very spontaneous person, so it was really out of character for me to decide at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday to make a run up to Lone Pine. There was a little motivation behind my madness, though. As you may have gathered, I’m a fan of the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains, and one…

Zion National Park
After my visit to Death Valley, I spent two nights in Zion National Park. This was my fourth or fifth visit to the park, but the first time in winter and the first time staying in Zion Lodge, right in the heart of Zion Canyon. There was snow at elevation, but none in the valley.…

Salton Sea Sunday Sunset
Sort of. You can see a sliver of the Salton Sea in this sunset, and that’s because my timing for the drive from San Diego to the east side of the Salton Sea was thrown off by some unplanned vehicle maintenance (buying and adding a quart of oil to the engine and topping off the…
