Mid-December, 2020, heavy snow fell in the Washington DC region. With not much snow during the previous winter, I was looking for some winter fun this time, and I chose to hike Cat Rocks trail in Cunningham Falls State Park.

Another beautiful autumn weekend when I set off to West Virginia in search of nature colors. I opted to hike Chimney Top on Saturday, spent the night camping around Spruce Knob where I star-gazed with the darkest sky in the mid-Atlantic region. On my return Sunday, I hiked High Knob that straddles West Virginia and Virginia.
October 10, a beautiful autumn weekend when the mountain colors were the most dramatic of the year. My friend and I headed to Northern George Washington National Forest for a feast of this vibrant autumn scene.
Sixth day of our Alaska trip. I would be hiking Mount Healy Overlook Trail in Denali National Park in the morning, after which we would be driving to the town of Palmer where we would spend our last night in Alaska.
Third day of our Alaska trip. I would be hiking Harding Ice Field Trail, the most popular hiking trail near Seward, that ended with me stepping onto the expansive ice field.
