Two years before, my visit to the Grand Canyon had been one of the highlights of the trip. I decided to repeat the visit on this trip. Then, I had visited the South Rim of the canyon. It had been beautiful weather then and visibility had been incredible. This time, I opted for the much less visited...

After seeing so many national parks, I didn't expect much from the Grand Canyon but I was blown away by it. I don't think the pictures will be all that impressive but I was certainly impressed.

The end of the trip evolved into seeing a lot of old Indian ruins. In part, this was inspired by the X-Files television show where they talk about the Anasazi and cliff dwellers. In part, it came about because there are just so many old Indian ruins in this area. Most of them are 700 to 800 years...

I visited this park four days after being snowed on at Crater Lake. It was 106 degrees in the valley.

The new Secretary of Commerce -- Norman Mineta -- is a Japanese-American who was held in an internment ("relocation") camp in Colorado during much of World War II.

Manzanar is still a work in progress. The site was established in Owens Valley (see next item) in 1992 to protect and interpret the Manzanar War Relocation Center, the first of ten permanent internment camps that were set up out west to intern Japanese-Americans during World War II. On February 19,...

I'm not sure what I thought the attraction of Joshua Tree would be. At this point, I was pretty tired of deserts. I think the main reason I wanted to go there was because of a the title of the "Joshua Tree" U2 album.

The park is mostly known for its groves a Joshua trees (surprise!). I asked the...
