Backpacking Trip To Rainbow Bridge
Rainbow Bridge national monument in Utah is undeniably the most outstanding and mystical arch in the entirety of the American southwest. The arch towers are an outstanding 290 feet tall and 270 feet across making it the largest natural bridge in the world. The Navajos considered this arch extremely sacred believing it to be a portal to the spirit world. Rainbow bridge is not an easy arch to see in person. The arch is tucked away in the far reaches of Lake Powell, with the easiest way to get there being a 4-hour boat ride through an expansive twisting and turning canyon system that eventually arrives at the rainbow bridge. In my opinion, a natural formation of such grand and mystical beauty shouldn’t be seen by such an easy means. I find the boat ride an easy route that fails to make you appreciate this overwhelmingly massive structure as if you are not fully submitting yourself to its beauty with a mere 1 hour wait time before the boat launches off and heads back to the marina. There is an alternative route that you can take to get to the bridge and it is one that is exceedingly difficult and requires backpacking and map reading experience. I feel it necessary to tell of my experience on this route, and why I felt it made me feel that the monument was mystical and something to be held sacred.

The Oysters of Hood Canal
I hate raw oysters. This is odd because I’ve been eating raw seafood my whole life. I’m part Japanese. It goes with the heritage territory. But there’s something about raw oysters that alerts every taste bud that something bad is coming their way, and tells me, don’t even go there. That said, put those same oysters on a sizzling grill and drizzle any kind of sauce on them and I am all for that. This plays a role in my love affair with Hood Canal.

History of exploration Mountaineering on Everest
Mount Everest is difficult to get to and more difficult to climb, even with the great advances made in equipment, transportation, communications, and weather forecasting since the first major expeditions in the 1920s. The mountain itself lies in a highly isolated location. There are no roads in the region on the Nepalese side, and before the 1960s all goods and supplies had to be carried long distances by humans and pack animals. Since then, airstrips built in the Khumbu valley have greatly facilitated transport to the Everest vicinity, although the higher areas have remained accessible only via footpaths. In Tibet there is now a road to the north-side Base Camp.

Virginia Travel For Kids
It is particularly annoying to get younger kids to cooperate during travel. But it is not their fault, because at their age they are naturally more inquisitive and more active.
