Happy Earth Day! Earth day was founded 45 years ago to celebrate the Earth. The giant blue sphere that is our home. In the excitement of celebrating, don’t forget to drink a toast John Muir. Yesterday, John Muir celebrated his 177th birthday. Happy Birthday, John! I know I am a day late, but its the though that counts.
Valle Del Cocora, Colombia
Hiking up the Valle Del Cocora is a great way to spend a day. Cocora is hidden in the heart of the coffee region of Colombia. Spot and spent some times and may hike up to see the hummingbirds.
Mount Rainier, Washington, United States
This vista is only accessed by Wonderland Trail backpackers. It is located about half way between the Indian Bar and Nickel Creek Backcountry camps. This section of trail provides the best views of Mount Rainier on the entire 92 mile trail.
Painted Desert, Arizona, United States
After a short mile hike from the Painted Desert Inn, I made camp on this small ridge in the Painted Desert. I had a slight accident when locating a good spot to camp for the night, but in the end it was worth finding this amazing spot.
Crystal River, Florida, United States
Crystal River is one of the few places that can guarantee a chance to snorkel with sea cows. A winter visit to this river will yield hundreds of these gentle beasts.
Snaefellsnes, Iceland
Iceland is one of the best places to see the Northern Lights. The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is just north of Reykjavik and is a great place to sit out and see the lights.
Sirnitz, Austria
This small town in Austria is a winter getaway with great skiing. The summer provides some great hiking trails.
Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Tennessee, United States
The Smoky’s is one of my favorite places to hike. The 900 miles of trail provides many places to escape and get away from civilization.
Beautiful post with great pictures. Some of the quotes there carry a deep meaning. I would love to visit at least few of these listed places in future for sure. And Hopefully one by next earth day
Thanks
