The Mendota Trail is a gorgeous walking trail! This used to be the old railroad bed that ran through the area to Bristol, VA/TN. This originally started as the “Bristol Coal and Iron Narrow Gauge Railroad Co”. Passenger and freight services began in May of 1890. Then the name changed to “South Atlantic and Ohio Railway” in 1890. The. Changed again in 1899 to “The Virginia and Southwestern Railway. Until is was then put into service under the well known “Southern Railway” ceased operations in 1972. This trail is accessible in Mendota. Has trestles to walk across and the old swinging bridge beside it as pictured above… and yes it’s open to walk across.

Materials: Camera, Mancala stones, rook, Lightroom, background
Idea: I wanted to show the mancala stones creating a trail to the rook, because I thought it looked like a road to a castle. The composition I chose to use was curves.
Process: I arranged the mancala stones into a curve and put the rook at the end. Then I took the photo and edited it in Lightroom.

I've been wanting to do this for ages but never got round to it.
This is above my office at the Pines Calyx in St Margaret's Bay so it was one of those trails that once framed could be left to get on with it whilst staying in the warm!! It was such a clear night and the stars were out nice and early - this was just over an hour and the shutter closed for the final time at 6.45pm - just in time for me to get to the Christmas party in the village pub at 7pm!!
Spent a good half an hour faffing about with my test shots for this due to a strange pink flare that was casting over the bottom right quarter of of the frame. Finally realised it was a light out side the office despite being well out of shot. Lots of motion sensors had to be nobbled to keep thins damn light off but in the end I got it! I even what looks like a small meteor (maybe?) or shooting star in this!
Trail Ridge Road provides spectacular view of the majestic scenery of Rocky Mountain National Park. It is the highest continuous motorway in the United States, with more than eight miles lying above 11,000' and a maximum elevation of 12,183'. The name "Trail Ridge Road" derives from it proximity to historic pathways used by native peoples to cross the Rocky Mountains.
Trail Ridge Road was designed to replace Fall River Road, which proved inadequate for modern motor travel as soon as it opened in 1920. Trail Ridge Road was designed to have more gentle grades, broader curves, and a greater variety of scenic experiences. The sunny, ridge-top location would also reduce snow accumulations and allow Trail Ridge Road to open earlier then its shady, snow-laden predecessor.
Trail Ridge Road was constructed between 1926 and 1932 through the collaborative efforts of the National Park Service and the Bureau of Public roads (now the Federal Highway Administration). Construction Crews had to contend with imposing terrain, harsh weather, short working seasons and stringent design criteria, which were intended to ensure that the road would "lie lightly on the land" displaying the region's rich scenic diversity with minimal impact on the natural environment. Trail Ridge Road opened in July 1932, providing motorists with access to impressive, views, memorable wildlife viewing opportunities and spectacular high mountain Terrain.
GRADE: The road was designed with a ruling grade generally less than 5% and never exceeding 7%, less that half as steep as the Fall River Road.
TURN RADIUS: Minimum radii for open curves were 100' and 200' on blind curves. Many curves were designed to sweep across but not dominate the landscape.
ROAD WIDTH: Unlike the single-track Fall River Road, Trail Ridge Road was designed as a two-lane with a 22' roadbed and 3' ditches in cut sections.
ELEVATION GIAN: The roadway was largely built into the hillside, elevated on rock fill once it reached tundra. Long continuous curves were used to gain elevation.
PULLOUTS: The commodious stone-wall turnouts, often located on major curves, provided ample space for visitors to take in the views.
David Miller Trail
**Sedona Loop Hike - Secret Canyon, David Miller, Bear Sign, and Dry Creek Trails 2009-03-18: With the increasingly long days, we decided to hike the Secret Canyon, Dave Miller, Bear Sign, and Dry Creek loop for our midweek hike. The entire loop is approximately 6.5 miles long. The loop starts at Secret Canyon trailhead, following the first two miles of the trail through wide open canyon with fantasic redrock views.
David Miller Trail comes in from the left right before Secret Canyon Trail turns to go deep into Secret Canyon. David Miller serves as a joiner trail between Secret Canyon and Bear Sign Trails. The trail is one mile long, with a moderately strenuous (but thankfully short, quarter mile) climb up to a pass. The views from the trail are absolutely fantastic, however the pass itself is fairly heavily treed, so be the best views are from the trail before reaching the pass. The trail on the Bear Sign Canyon side of the pass is steeper and the canyon is heavily forested. The descent from the pass to the canyon floor is approximately 200 vertical feet.
Turning right on Bear Sign Trail leads 2.25 miles through the heavily forested, steep, narrow canyon. The canyon is very pretty, and a great hike for escaping the heat on warmer days. The trail drops down into the wash nears the end, joining up at Dry Creek Trail where two drainages meet. Veering left on Dry Creek Trail, the trail offers some nice canyon views before arriving at the Dry Creek/Vultee’s Arch trailhead after 0.75 mile. Secret Canyon trailhead is a mile hike down the dirt road from the Dry Creek/Vultee’s Arch trailhead.

Loy Canyon Trail is west of Sedona, Arizona in Red Rock-Secret Mountain Wilderness. The trail was originally built to move livestock to and from summer pastures above the canyon's rim. The trail is easy until it reaches the end of the canyon, where it ascends to meet Secret Mountain Trail.
The Parc National La Visite was set up as a national park in 1983 and contains one of the few (protected) forests of pines. The park, southeast of Port-au-Prince and close to the border with the Dominican Republic, provides beautiful views of the Massif de la Selle range. The trail between Furcy and Seguin is very steep and, given the altitude, provides a good workout. Only some 22 km from the capital, the park is one of the few ecotourism sites mentioned in the guidebooks, but I met not a single traveller during my ascent or in my explorations of the area. It was only as I hiked back down that I met another solitary foreign hiker. A highlight of the hike is that the trail is used by locals bringing food to market, predominantly women, or offering jolting, careening motorbike taxis, predominantly young men. I was greeted warmly and with some amusement (it was clearly illogical of me to walk when there were motorbikes on offer and when I was sweating enough for ten).
The trail is hard and uneven, unforgiving on footwear: and this led me to this project...

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.

The trailing car doubles as the lead car on the return trip so it has an engineers station, lights, horns and a bell. Again similar to Mathew Clayson's "Coaster" with some changes.
