Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is one of the most well-known and photographed of all the National Parks, so we were excited at the thought of exploring this deep chasm that has been cut into the heart of Arizona. I have some new respect for those mules that hike up and down the canyon each day, that […]

Anza Borrego
Anza Borrego Desert is a dusty bowl of nothingness. It bakes a couple hours east of San Diego County, and I really wouldn’t recommend visiting unless you have a fondness for sterile moonscape.
