I’ve a great fondness for the Canadian Rockies, an area I think is one of the most beautiful in the world. Lake Louise stands out as a special place. The lovely turquoise water, the backdrop of Mt. Victoria and Mt. LeFroy and their hanging glaciers — once seen, the image is forever etched in your mind. I like how the people canoeing give a sense of scale; they seem so small in the vastness of nature.
Desert View Watchtower, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
