Lyell Canyon forms a deep groove in Yosemite’s eastern stretches, with steep walls extending two thousand feet upward to Kuna Crest on the east, and Amelia Earhart Peak on the west. It winds...

It is sometimes easy to lose perspective of the age of our state. Museums, State Historic Parks and Missions and so forth are designed to help with this. But as I’ve mentioned here, often it...

It has been a tough year for many Bear fans, myself included.  I am sure you are aware of the fanbase's acrimonious response to last Saturday's extraordinarily disappointing loss to what was...

With apologies to Pawn Stars, of all the Western states, my least favorite is Nevada. Maybe it's because most of the state is barren desert. Maybe it's the monotony of I-80 past Reno until...

White Mountain Peak sits atop (get outta here) the White Mountains, the highest and westernmost of the Great Basin ranges.  It requires a left turn at The Boonies, a right turn once you reach...
