Ptarmigan Tunnel goes through 240 feet of solid rock and connects the Many Glacier Valley to the Belly River Valley. While the views are stunning at either end, it’s the differences that make it fascinating.

Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park offers some of the Southwest's most famous and unusual scenery. Its Navajo name, Tsé Bii' Ndzisgaii, means "Valley of the Rocks". The high desert landscape on the border of Arizona and Utah is a fantastic wonderland of colorful mesas, spires, buttes, and monoliths.

Visitors to the American West who wish to become superstar photographers for a day can easily do so here in Arizona! One of the state's great wonders is Antelope Canyon, within the Navajo Nation in northern Arizona. Parts of Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon form into "slot canyons", one of Canyon Country's most exquisite and unusual phenomena, and a place abounding with fantastic and easily accessible photo opportunities.

Our mid-winter adventure took us into a unique world of slickrock and sandstone where the strange and wonderful is commonplace.
"You’re about to embark on an unforgettable adventure. The stunning scenery of Coyote Buttes attracts hikers from all over the world. Buckskin Gulch is a winding chasm of stone and spectacular cliffs. Either fork will lead you through a fascinating geologic story."

This past summer has been outstanding for whale watching on the Central Coast of California. Humpback whales have been active and close to shore...they generally feed in the nutrient-rich waters of the central coast from about May to October. The humpbacks which can be up to fifty feet in length and weigh up to forty tons are especially acrobatic and entertaining as they hunt for food...The excitement of getting a glimpse of whales at Port San Luis...prompted us to sign up for a whale watching cruise out of the town of Morro Bay.
