Scotland (Part 1)-Stirling Castle, Glenfinnan Viaduct, Mallaig Ferry, Old Man of Storr, Mealt Falls
We started our road trip through Scotland by first picking up our daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandsons from the Edinburgh Airport. We immediately headed out to Stirling Castle before settling in for the night in Glencoe. First thing in the morning, we headed out to the Glenfinnan Viaduct & Monument to see the Harry Potter train. This exact location and train was featured in multiple Harry Potter movies, most notably "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". From there we headed to the Mallaig Ferry, which would take us over to the beautiful Isle of Skye area of Scotland, where we stayed in the quaint town of Portree. We started the next morning by hiking the Old Man of Storr trail. We ended the day at Kilt Rock & Mealt Falls. Be sure to stay tuned for Part 2 of our Scotland road trip!

Exploring the DOLOMITES (Part 4) - Lago di Sorapis
Переглядів 149Місяць тому
Lago di Sorapis via Passo Tre Croci is a "must do" hike in the Dolomites. I would say this is a difficult hike, but well worth it!! The milky turquoise water surrounded by the jagged peaks is stunningly beautiful! Be sure to go early, as this hike gets very crowded. Someone mentioned in a trail review that at least 500 people were on the trail when they hiked. I found that hard to believe! I wa...

Lake Powell - Antelope Canyon and Buckskin Gulch Slot Canyons
Переглядів 5643 місяці тому
We finally checked off our bucket list tour of Lower Antelope Slot Canyon. This was a guided tour and the guide did a great job explaining the slot canyon and pointing out some of the unique features. This tour was pretty pricey, but well worth it. Don't get misguided by only Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona, because we also hiked the Buckskin Gulch Slot Canyon via Wire Pass, and that was just ...

Wow! Was this an amazing trail. We hiked Redfish Trailhead to Bench Lakes. There are 2 lakes on this trail and both are beautiful! We also decided to add some adventure on this hike and went off trail to find 2 additional unnamed lakes. It was a bit rugged off trail, but we had a great time trying to find the lakes. Once we got to the last lake, we had it all to ourselves. No better way to enjo...
