We used to have Black Bears in our backyard all the time growing up. They would eat the vegetables out of our garden and turn over our garbage cans. We didn't go out after dark and had to pay attention to noises in the trees when we were...
Think of a hike and you think of nature, right? And this hike in Brooklyn's Prospect Park will look a lot like nature, but that's actually a complete deception. Almost nothing in the entire park is "natural." When the then-city of...
If you travel west from Calgary, Alberta on the TransCanada Highway, you'll see the Canadian Rockies growing ever larger during your entire journey. It's an amazing sight! In less than an hour you're right in the heart of...

The Clark Fork is the dominant river in western Montana, winding through the flat-lands, mountains, hills and forests, from its headwaters near the Continental Divide towards Lake Pend Oreille in the Idaho panhandle.
One of the great things about living close to a large wilderness ecosystem is the chance to enjoy its wildlife. That's especially true this time of year when the valleys have thawed and are green, but the mountains and high meadows...
Gumbo was visiting Everglades National Park in Florida. Specifically, he was at the Observation Tower in the Shark Valley region of the park. Congratulations to PortMoresby for accurately nailing this location (again!) Shark...
