Highway 560, North Shore, Kauai

Located literally at the end of the road, Ke'e Beach is probably the most visited beach on Kauai. The famed Kalalau Trail begins at the western end of the beach. Several movies and min-series have been filmed here such as The Thorn Birds and Castaway Cowboys. Ke'e's inviting lagoon is teaming with fish and perfect for snokeling. Beware, however of the Puka Ulua, an opening on he left side from the lagoon to the sea. Currents can be very strong here. People often fish for the large, prized Ulua fish in this area. A short walk towards Ha'ena provides a panoramic view of the Na Pali Coast. Keep walking toward the Limahuli Stream. This is where Taylor Camp was located - the largest, most noted hippie colony on Kauai. Founded by the brother of actress Elizabeth Taylor, this colony had up to 100 residents before the state condemned the land and evicted them. In the opposite direction, walk down the path above the reef channel along a low rock wall. Look uphill to the site of Ka Ulu a Paoa Heiau. This ancient religious site was dedicated to Paoa, a friend of the legnedary Lohiau, lover of Pele, the volcano goddess. A shrine to Laka, goddess of the hula, is also located in a hillside cleft behind the heiau platform.

Stream on the Cataract Falls trail in the Mount Tamalpais State Park.

A nice cool wade in the waterfall streams feels wonderful in the afternoon. Even better, a nice bath can be had at the top.

The unusually warm Christmas meant the girls could spend time repurposing Grandpa and Grandma's back yard - from young forest growth to rooms and dungeons. I got in trouble multiple times for walking through walls (note the lines of bricks and logs - don't cross!). We had a sweet time in West Virginia.

Rephaim Stream Park is a part of The Jerusalem Park and both are part of Judean Mountains National Park.

A good place to sit and contemplate the events of the day.

Mount Aspiring National Park (established in 1964) is a wonderful mixture of remote wilderness, high mountains and beautiful river valleys. It is a walker's paradise and a must for mountaineers. The views are endless and unforgettable. South Island New Zealand
