Pictured are the jagged, rocky cliffs inside Zion National Park, Utah. Shot on a hot sunny day in July, 2012 during our hike to the upper emerald pools on the other side of the valley. I’ve traveled through much of the Southwestern U.S. and haven’t seen many landscapes more beautiful than those found inside Utah’s national parks.
One of the highlights of my week long trip to Roatan was diving the swim-throughs (underwater tunnels and caverns). Two of my favorites and the biggest of these were at the dive sites called the underground and the dolphin’s den located on the north-east side of the island.
Pictured are the fueling suits hanging in the decontamination room of the Titan Missile Museum. To the right on the wall is one of the original phones from the silo’s active days. Once known as Air Force Facility Missile Site 8, the museum is a ‘retired’ and disabled ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) site located in the desert south of Tuscon, Arizona.
Filled with mystery from the days the Mayans used it for rituals, I took a canoe through the popular Barton Creek Cave in the Cayo District of Belize. Regarded as one of the largest caves in the world at over 4.5 miles long and on land surrounded by Mennonites this day was a great adventure I’ll not soon forget.
Pictured is the kinetic metal sculptures of famous artist and sculptor Starr Kempf (1917–1995). They were on display outside the home and visible from the road located in Colorado Springs. Each sculpture reportedly took up to 3 years to complete and are each one of a kind.
Pictured is a modest home in Belize. These wooden houses sitting on top of stilts are a common sight all over Belize’s islands and much of the eastern coast on the mainland.
A fun filled and easy hike to swim in the 150 foot waterfall “Big Rock Falls” including photos and video. Located in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve of western Belize.
This week’s photo is of a famous mountain known officially as the Checkerboard Mesa. It’s made up of Navajo sandstone and 2 lines that form an easily viewed checkerboard pattern. Located on the East side of the Zion National Park in Southern Utah.
A review of my Belize zip line tour in the jungle canopy featuring photos and a short video. Shortly after we cooled off with some cave tubing. Find out how safe and how much fun flying through the trees were here.
My photos and experiences touring Bryce Canyon National Park including the world famous amphitheater, natural bridge, and other view points.
