Hells Backbone Road

Either way you go, getting from Boulder to Escalante will take your breath away. Most folks take the paved Utah Rt 12, which clings to the Hogsback while both sides of the road fall away. But there's another road, which leads to even wilder views -- Hells Backbone Road.

Pacaya Volcano

When you need a change of pace from the ruined churches and general goings-on of Antigua, you can take an easy day-trip to an actual volcano. It's an easy hike and you have a very good chance of seeing actual real-life lava.

Upper Calf Creek - West

Calf Creek provides the biggest return on investment of all the hiking near Boulder, UT. It has two impressive waterfalls, it cuts a beautiful canyon, and it runs through some of the hardest landscape in the country. On our recent trip out, we made a return hike to the Upper Calf Creek falls.

  • Halong Bay Kayaking
    Vietnam and Cambodia

    One of the side-trips we took while in Vietnam in '04 was a cruise on Halong Bay. And when the agency offered me a kayaking option, I took it. Neither H nor I had any experience kayaking, but I thought it sounded interesting. It was one of the best parts of any trip we've taken.

    Halong Bay Cruise underwayHalong Bay has hundreds of limestone islands that appear impossibly tall for their width. It's a very surreal seascape and makes for an almost magical experience.

  • Capitol Reef - Cathedral Valley
    Drive

    So you're visiting Capitol Reef during its high season -- Sep-Oct. The visitors center is crammed with bus tour people. The Hickman Bridge parking lot is overflowing. No empty picnic tables near the Fremont River. Oh, where to go for solitude? Cathedral Valley, my friend.

  • Eating in Namibia
    Food

    Amongst the many reason to travel to Namibia, you aren't going there for the food. It it bad? No. Is it good? Occasionally.

    The typical schedule for a day in Namibia goes like this:

    During the day, see beautiful and unique animals. And in the evening, eat them.

    Game, my friends, is what's for dinner.

    Restaurants
    We ate in only a handful of restaurants, staying mostly in lodges far away from towns. Two stand out as exceptional.
