Aside from the famous Iguassu Falls, the 6km walking trails on the Argentinean side had incredible surroundings, mainly consisting of forrest, water or more water..... And when lucky, some wildlife too. In few hours, I did see many kinds of butterflies, birds, toucans, gang of coatiks who snatched and ate somebody's lunch, a crocodile, a monkey downing a carton of juice (also snatched) and to top it of a little snake (my least favourite)
The Park Avenue Trail is one of the first major attractions within Arches National Park. It is a one-mile trail that follows the bottom of a canyon at the feet of some of the gigantic, and well-known monoliths of interesting formation protruding from the canyon walls.
The Three Gossips, the Courthouse Towers, Queen Nefertiti and Queen Victoria Rock, the Organ, and the Tower of Babel are all visible from the road as visitors drive up towards Balanced Rock and Delicate Arch, but there is a large difference in experience when actually hiking through them.
This short out and back trail heads north down a wide canyon flanked by towering rock walls and spires. These impressive formations are reminiscent of skyscrapers and buildings that shape Manhattan, hence the name 'Park Avenue'.
The trail drops from the trailhead on a steep set of stone stairs (seeing in the foreground) to the wide canyon floor. The dirt path is soon predominantly sandstone as you travel down the widening canyon mouth.
Thank you for your comments,

This trail takes you from the border of Mexico to Utah. I hiked some of it last week through the Catalina Mountains. The camera date is wrong as this photo is only 3 days old.
The Botkin Trail in the Yalta Nature Reserve is one of the most famous hiking trails in the Crimean Mountains. Its length from Kirov Street to the top of Stavri-Kay aMount is 4.5 kilometers.
The Botkin Trail route was created in 1901 for tuberculosis patients. They could take wellness walks here, so it is also called the "Health Trail". In these places, the phytoncides of the coniferous forest are mixed with the sea breeze, which creates a positive effect for the treatment of lung diseases.
Professor Sergey Botkin was one of the most famous physicians in Russia in the second half of the 19th century. He received the title of academician and the position of physician of the royal family. Since 1870, he has been studying the climate of the Southern coast of Crimea and made a huge contribution to the popularization of recreation and the development of sanatoriums in the Crimea. He was the first to note the healing properties of the air on the Southern coast of Crimea for the treatment of lung diseases.
Боткинская тропа проложена по левому берегу реки Учан-Су. Начинаясь у Поляны сказок, она завершается у скалы Ставри-Кая. Правда, завершается условно, поскольку сразу переходит в Штангеевскую тропу, которая заканчивается у водопада Учан-Су. Нередко две тропы объединяют в один маршрут. Это логично, поскольку в противном случае от скалы Ставри-Кая придется возвращаться обратно по уже пройденному пути. Если же идти до водопада, получится круизный маршрут.
Тропу оборудовали в 1901-1902 году силами Крымско-Кавказского горного клуба. В то время активно действовало ее ялтинское отделение. Назвать решили в честь доктора Боткина. Он хоть и жил в Москве, но активно участвовал в исследовании роли Южного берега Крыма как курортологического направления. Получив звание академика, он стал лейб-медиком царской семьи и много времени проводил вместе с ней в Ливадийском дворце.
I heard, but could not see running water, but there was a hint of a trail going into bushes. After some clambering over logs and rocks, found a vantage point onto this delightful little waterfall.
Another glorious night - this time at Mono Lake. Taken with a Sony a9, ISO 800, f/4, 16mm, 23exposures at 4 minutes each then processed in Lightroom and Photoshop.
In the city.

Total distances on all trails including spurs is 7.9 miles (12.6 km). Trail to Landscape Arch – This easy segment of the Devils Garden trail (1.9 mi/3.1 km roundtrip) is relatively flat with hard packed surfaces to walk on. There is no significant elevation gain, only moderate hills, up and down. The trail meanders through tall fins to a spectacular view of Landscape Arch.
Trail continues to Double O Arch – This trail to Double O Arch is difficult as it steeply climbs up and on the sandstone fins. Footing is rocky; there are narrow ledges with steep drop-offs. Hikers must use their hands and feet to scramble and climb. Though strenuous, the out-and-back hike to Double O Arch (4.1 mi/6.6 km roundtrip) is popular and offers incredible views.

Hike around Lake Bulusan to enjoy the scenic view of the trees, boats and trails. However, it is near Mount Bulusan which is an active volcano. Be aware of the alert level when visiting Bulusan in the Philippines.
I composed this image while hiking the Whiterock Trail in Utah's Snow Canyon State Park. Surrounded by massive dunes of various strong colours - and mostly red - the occasional white massive rock formation stands out, as pictured here.
What happens to make normally red Navajo Sandstone white? Sandstone is porous and permeable to water because there are spaces between the sand grains. Under certain circumstances, the iron pigment in red sandstone can dissolve in water and be removed, or be rendered colourless by chemical reactions in the water. Voila! White dunes. It's no surprise, then, that the hiking path toward these dunes is named "Whiterock Trail."
