Autumn Road Trip

Just because I chose to return to the States doesn't mean I was ready to stop exploring. There is so much beauty in our own backyard and I've never had a problem finding new places to check out. Plus, places I have been before, whether it has been once or hundreds of times, can look and feel completely different each time I visit. Here's a rough outline (in black) of the route that I took.

 My adventures included...

a smoky day on the Five Lakes trail in the north Lake Tahoe area,

a return (15+ years after my first ascent) to the top of Job's Peak in the south Lake Tahoe area,

the wilderness and beauty of eastern Oregon,

Washington's scenic highways and byways,

Idaho's panhandle and Craters of the Moon,

a drive down Utah's Highway 89,

the north rim of the Grand Canyon,

Yosemite National Park (even without its magnificent waterfalls it's still one of my favorites),

 and many more.
