Collaborative travel journal for lovers of the American West! (page 11 of 41)

I finally figured out how to do it 🙂 I wasn't placing the cursor under the text 😏

Congratulations my friend, you got it! 😎

And now, a beautiful tree in Mystery Valley, a small valley next to Monument Valley—off the beaten path and really lovely.

Hi Alain,

Bummer :/

The "Monuments" were in thick fog.

We were lucky—we didn’t see them like that. https://voyageforum.com/v.f?post=7662113;a=7662113

Have a great evening!

Christine

2 hours later on the Wild Cat Trail...



The trail was a bit muddy... 😕



And... at the end...





So: we had to go back... no choice!

I won’t post any "normal" sunset or sunrise pics 😎

Alain

Since we're taking a little time in Monument Valley... here's probably my favorite photo.



One of the most beautiful picnic spots we’ve ever enjoyed!

That year (2015) we had sunshine too



John Doe Mountain -- Sedona

Next time, I wanted to take advantage of the room 😛

Alain, yeah, it's beautiful like that—it's a nice change 😏

Hello Fabienne,

That’s a beautiful tree.

The little one is so tiny 🙂 but for some reason, I really liked it:

Have a great evening!

Christine

That tree is gorgeous. Mine is so tiny 🙂 but for some reason, I just loved it:

Yep, trees are amazing—they manage to stand out even against stunning landscapes, all thanks to their wild shapes...

Oh Christine, I know that tree of yours well—it’s the one in my profile pic ;) Vinciane

Oh yeah, those trees are something else—even in front of breathtaking landscapes, they manage to steal the show with all their twists and turns...

Sure enough!

Thanks for your photos from the Grand Canyon.

Have a great evening!

Christine

Oh Christine, I know that tree of yours well—it’s the one in my profile pic 😏 Vinciane

Yeah, I see we took a photo of the same tree 😏

Have a great evening!

Christine

Sunrise over "Valley of the Gods" is pretty amazing too

Goulding’s is pretty good too 😉

And this one? How does it survive?

California Pass (Colorado)

At nearly 4,000m (12,960 feet) above sea level, taking the trail from Animas Fork

And this one? How’s he surviving?

He listens to his girlfriend Suzie:



who whispers in her soft, flute-like voice: "hang on, old chap" (hang in there, buddy)

Beautiful view... you can really feel the fresh air! I just checked a map and saw that the little lake below is called "Como Lake"... just like its big cousin in northern Italy (though I don’t see any villas here—the environment is way more rugged!)

Oh, and I encourage all readers of this travel journal to check out your journal on northwestern Argentina. GORGEOUS.

Hi Fabienne, What a great idea this collaborative 😏 travel journal is! I’ll contribute my little bit with a lesser-known spot: King of Wings, south of Farmington. 11 miles of dirt road, then 1.9 miles of GPS-guided hike—but the reward is at the end of the trail. Missed it in 2017 because of the weather, but KOW was worth a whole new trip in 2018!

This journal should have a long life, with so many sources of inspiration 😉 😉

Hello. To get back to White Sands NP...

Behind the scenes at Mesa Arch



A few of us got up early to take a little series of photos



The decisive moment is approaching







Time to head back!
