A Glimpse of Lake Tahoe

Wildlife in Yellowstone and Grand Teton
Wildlife sightings in Yellowstone can create traffic jam, with the biggest headaches from bears. Yellowstone is like Mecca for wildlife photographers and spotting telescopes, quality digital SLR cameras are everywhere and 300mm $1700 lenses are a must. Hell $10,000 to

Hot Air Balloons
[Balloon Pilot Call, at Glow Show Dawn Patrol] Imagine in the complete darkness early in the morning, the hot air balloons were line up in a row, with lights coming from firing the torches going on and off, like giant glowing

The Grand Teton
I think every time there’s a mention of the Yellowstone National Park, there’s inevitable talks about the Grand Teton. It’s been an ache in my head that I didn’t visit Grand Teton three years ago on my first trip to the Yellowstone. So

The Waterfalls, Lakes, and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone National Park
At the heart of Yellowstone’s past, present and future lies volcanism. Three huge volcanic eruptions happened in what is now the park’s collapsed 30-by-45 mile caldera. The underground heat powering those eruptions still powers the park’s geysers, fumaroles, and mudpots.

Sweet Elk Couple in love
Yellowstone’s abundant and diverse wildlife are as famous as its geysers and animal sightings in Yellowstone can create traffic jams. To avoid that, I adapted to their habitats to come out in the early morning and evening when animals tend

The Old Faithful and Fellow Hydrothermal Features of Yellowstone National Park
The Old Faithful Geyser has been erupting every 90 minutes predictably ever since a century ago. The odds of it erupting at sunrise or sunset are probably not good. We camp at the Grant Village, which is about 20 miles

Yellowstone National Park in Wonderful Morning Lights
Each morning in Yellowstone National Park is different, I never know what kind of beauty is waiting for me out there in this huge landscape. I couldn’t plan, but I know I had to get up before sun and be

High Peaks Loop at Pinnacles National Monument, re-visit
Two hours away from the center of silicon valley, lies this spectacular ancient volcano. Rock spires, ramparts, crags, monoliths, sheer-walled canyons, and caves share no resemblance to the surrounding foothills on this landscape. Once a while, a California Condor or two appear

Baby Goats
I have always wanted to visit a goat farm, so we drove 100 miles north to this farm in the Western Sonoma County, picnicking under the apple trees, nibbling goat milk cheeses, kefirs and yogurts, cuddling with the baby goats, and trying

Sunset, Twilight, and Dusk, Half Dome, Yosemite National Park
April 21- 29 is this year’s national park week, where all 397 national parks offer free admission. Despite that I was seriously sick all week and not wanting to move at all, at 11 am that morning, Hero grabbed me
