Red Rock Trail is located just north of Gillette. This cool, summer day was the perfect time to hike it as the prairie was very green.
Really wanted to capture the trails in the reflections but high winds came in and out causing the water to move too much.

After arriving back in La Paz, we decided to head out on a nearby
three-day hike. The trail, which was originally constructed by the
Tiwanaku culture sometime between 1000 BCE and 1200AD, stretches 72km
and descends over 3000m.
The first day, we headed out of La Paz on a minibus and got off in La
Cumbre (the summit). From there we hiked to our highest altitude of 4860
meters above sea level where there's a pile of stones that are offerings
to the mountain gods. Then, we started to descend, passing some ancient
ruins on the way. We spent the night in Challapampa, a small community
at 2825m. We had a fun evening chatting with a couple of Argentinians
our age and a couple of retirees from Kamloops.
The second day we were the second group to hit the trail. We spent most
of the day hiking through the cloud forest and going up and down through
the Andean foothills. We reached our camping spot at San Francisco
around 2 and spent a lovely afternoon chatting with the mum and youngish
daughter who were running the place and having much needed showers with
a stunning view of the Andes.
Our last day dawned wet. It had been raining all night and we could see
that it was going to be a soggy hike. While the other hikers
contemplated how to stay dry, we threw on our quick-dry clothes and set
off. We finished the hike in record time and were thoroughly soaked to
the bone by the end. We arrive in El Chairo, the town at the end of the
trail and met two lovely local women who informed us that there was a
truck waiting for them close by that could take us to the main road.
While there was other transport options, they were aimed at tourists and
were extremely expensive. We followed the two locals, only to discover
that the truck had decided to leave without them. We continued walking
with them until the next town about an hour or two away, where they
helped us get a ride to where we wanted to be and insured that we
weren't charged the tourist price!

Kuari Pass is a moderate trek in the Indian Himalayas. This trek takes place in the mountain passes of garhwal region of Uttarakhand, India. The trek may not be very high altitude per Himalayan standards, but it boasts of some of the most impressive views.
Kuari Pass takes place in Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve. The Nanda Devi National Park is a national park situated around the peak of Nanda Devi, 7,817 m (25,646 ft) in the state of Uttarakhand in northern India that was established in 1982. Along with the adjoining Valley of Flowers National Park to the northwest, it was inscribed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988.
Major Peaks other than Nanda Devi seen from the Kuari Pass Trek are
Dunagiri 7066m

Hiking along the trail on the edge of the Pacific Ocean revealed a few of these stunning beauties mixed in with the underbrush.
I believe that this large anchor was from a Russian ship that broke up off the coast here.

Bell Trail is very popular with hikers and anglers who come to enjoy the solitude and other rewards offered by a clear cool stream flowing through a scenic desert canyon. Wet Beaver Canyon is one of four major canyons that cut Coconino National Forest's red rock rim country.
Most of the canyon falls within the Wet Beaver Wilderness. Wilderness areas are rare, wild places set aside by U.S. Congress where the land is allowed to retain its natural state, serving as a natural haven for humans to escape civilization. To help minimize human impacts in Wilderness areas, motorized and mechanized equipment are strictly prohibited by law, including bicycles, strollers, carts, remote control aircraft, and drones.
For the most part, the trail follows a route along a bench well above the streambed. A number of side trails, lead down to the waterside and indicate the location of good swimming holes or popular fishing spots. As the trail wanders deeper into the canyon, it leaves the canyon bottom to wind high along an escarpment of red sandstone and offer scenic views of the riparian area, the canyon and the surrounding mountains and valleys, before dropping back down to the stream at Bell Crossing.
Most people who come to this trail hike only the first 3.3 miles to Bell Crossing, taking advantage any one of several access paths that branch off the main trail and lead down to the stream. After crossing the Wet Beaver Creek, the Bell Trail climbs the canyon's south wall to a high, grassy plateau where it winds through pinyon juniper stands and open grasslands offering views that stretch all the way to the Sedona Red Rocks Country and the San Francisco Peaks. Eleven miles from the trailhead at Beaver Creek, Bell Trail ends at Forest Road 214.
Like many of our fragile riparian areas along creeks and rivers, the area is day-use only. Camping and campfires are prohibited along much of Wet Beaver Creek to help minimize damage to the soil and vegetation, reduce disturbances to wildlife, and prevent pollution of the clean, clear water of the creek. Wet Beaver Creek flows into the Verde River, a critical water source for many cities and communities in Arizona.
This trip was in early spring when the trees were just beginning to leaf out and snowmelt from a heavy winter was clouding the creek. Photo taken March 2017 by Deborah Lee Soltesz.

This photo (unintentionally) shows a good trail to hike, even when it's hot.
The Phoneline Trail is faintly seen as a straight line above the center saguaro and the flowering ocotillo.
It's faint because it's in the shade for much of the morning. Only a little (perhaps 1/2 mile) of it can be seen here, but it continues into Sabino Canyon for another three miles or so, with little elevation change, and sometimes offering terrific views.

The United States Congress designated the Table Rock Wilderness in 1984 and it now has a total of 5,781 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Oregon and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
A remnant of a lava flow that once covered this region along the western foothills of the Cascades, the "fortress" of Table Rock stands at 4,881 feet above the northeastern portion of this small Wilderness. On this steep and rugged terrain you'll find a quiet forest of Douglas fir and western hemlock, with noble fir at higher elevations and crowds of rhododendron on many of the upper slopes, an island of old growth in an ocean of forest development. At least two endangered plants bloom here: Oregon sullivantia and Gorman's aster. Deer and elk wander about in winter, and the northern spotted owl has been spotted among the old trees.
From four trailheads, about 17 miles of trails give access to the Wilderness. A relatively easy hike from Table Rock Road will take you up the Table Rock Trail to the sweeping vista from the summit of Table Rock, where the land falls suddenly away in basalt cliffs on the north face. From this high point, Mount Rainier looms far to the north, Bull of the Woods Wilderness beckons from the east, and the Willamette Valley spreads out to the south.
You will not find any reliable sources of potable water on the trails, so pack along your own. Horses may find dangerous footing on some of the talus slopes.

The Brighton & Hove 13X Tourist Trail service running between Brighton and Eastbourne is a very scenic route to travel on. In August 2015 Volvo B9TL / Wright Gemini BJ11XHH passes Birling Gap on its way to Brighton.
The bus is named 'Maria Fitzherbert' who was the unofficial wife of George IV.
Travel Utah’s Beautiful Backcountry Along the Burr Trail
Located just outside the northeast region of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Bullfrog, the Burr Trail offers excitement for the adventurous explorer. Views of features like the Henry Mountains, Waterpocket Fold, the red Circle Cliffs, Long Canyon, and Pedestal Alley await the traveler who wishes to explore this interesting road. To fully enjoy the journey always be well prepared. Make sure you have plenty of water, a first aid kit, proper footwear, sunscreen, a hat and a means of communication.
History of the Trail
John Atlantic Burr was born in 1846, during his family’s journey from New York to San Francisco on the SS Brooklyn while sailing across the Atlantic Ocean. Once they arrived, Charles and Sarah Burr then set out to Salt Lake City with their new baby. As part of the early pioneers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Burr family eventually moved south in 1876 and founded the town of Burrville, Utah.
John Burr grew up to be a cattle rancher in the rugged backcountry of Utah. Living in such a desolate area, he needed to develop a route to move his cattle between winter and summer ranges, as well as to market. This cattle trail through the rough, nearly impassible country around the Waterpocket Fold, Burr Canyon, and Muley Twist Canyon came to be known as the Burr Trail.

I found the good trails today at the bottom of the gorge. I also found out my front tire has a slow leak though, so riding back up wasn't as much fun as going down.
Trail Ridge Road is a roughly semi-circular highway covering the 48 miles between Estes Park, CO on the park's east side, up and across some of the northern ridges, and down to Grand Lake on the west. Eleven miles of this high highway travel above the tree line, the elevation near 11,500 feet where the park's evergreen forests come to a halt.

Best viewed on BLACK. Really brings the colours out on black!
So went to Lullingstone Golf course to get some sunset shots and couldn't find anything interesting to shoot, 5 minutes down the road was the usual light trail shot so I thought I'd settle for this, it's something different for me, I've never combined a long exposure with a sunset, nor have I seen a sunset with these strong colours before. I know im clipping black quite a bit in the tree's but I thought it keep the eye concentrated more on the sky and lead you into the bend.
This is perhaps my most abstract shot yet?
Anyhow turned out to be a worthwhile trip!

Exploring the trail was like stepping into a postcard – peaceful cows grazing in open pastures, framed by a breathtaking view of a small mountain peak in the distance. The golden light of the afternoon added warmth to every shot, bringing out the earthy tones of the landscape.
The 70 tree people lining the mile woodland trail, encounter willow bees and dragonflies, the Queen’s horse, ceramic birds and giant woodlice … and much more. The trail will celebrate biodiversity and explore concerns about habitat loss and the climate emergency. We are also celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and the 70 years of the Queens guardianship of the people and lands of the UK as part of our project theme ‘Harmony and Healing for Planet and People’ .
