I had never seen a rainbow on water like this before. We stopped for lunch during a hard day of hiking along the Kalalau Trail and this slowly formed as we ate our peanut butter sandwiches.
An unexpected meeting of a cub scout troop leads to a fun adventure on the rocks.
No matter how many waterfalls you've seen before this one is a gem. Flowing year-round onto deserted pristine California sands, it's one of the most picturesque spots around Big Sur.
Come for the view of the falls at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, then try the hiking trails among the giant redwood trees across the road.
Overlooking the nature trail at the Valley of Fires Recreation Trail in Southern New Mexico.
A jogger crosses the Colorado River along a popular foot bridge in downtown Austin, Texas.
View of Taylor Creek and walker's bridge overlooking Taylor Creek. Here you can view Kokanee Salmon spawning in the fall.
Pathway through a tall grove of bamboo shoots on the Pipiwai trail
A 400-foot waterfall at the end of the Pipiwai trail. Beautiful.
Lewis Creek, is a small trail, that is outside of Fish Camp, near Yosemite National Park, California. It's filled w/wildlife, water filled creek (when its Late Winter or Early Spring), tall pine trees, and possible-- Red Woods; and its a nice trail to take a stroll around to appreciate nature.
In some conditions, its really necessary to wear snowblind sun glasses to prevent getting snow blind, boots, since the snow can reach upto 6' deep.
It's off of Highway 41 North towards Yosemite, and have to go past Sierra Sky Ranch, which is about 2-5 miles from there, and you have to look closely for small signs that reads Lewis Creek ;)
Waihee Ridge Trail
Maui, 4½ mile out & back trail, medium difficulty.
Elevation gain: 1,560ft (from 1,000 – 2,560ft)
Ascend the Waihee ridgeline trail up Maui's western peak of Pu'u Kukui and you'll be hiking above the sightseeing helicopter tours and admiring the lush rainforest valleys and coastlines beyond.
Hiking on the windward side of any Hawaiian island means wet weather, muddy conditions and the threat of heavy rains. This trail is subject to all these factors, but the wet weather means waterfalls are plentiful, the vegetation is greener and the cooler conditions make for a nice comfortable hike.
