  1. Saint Francis Cathedral

    The Neo-Romanesque Cathedral of St Francis (San Francisco de Asís) was built between 1869 and 1884 on a site occupied by several earlier churches. In a chapel on the north side is La Conquistadora, a figure of the Virgin brought from Spain.

  2. Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site

    Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site was built in 1833 as the only fort along the Santa Fe trail between Missouri and Mexican settlements. It was a place for Cheyennes and Arapaho to trade buffalo hides.

  3. Seret and Sons Rugs and Furniture

    Any good walking tour of Santa Fe would not be complete without a visit to Seret & Sons. Seret & Sons is a wonderful feast for the senses, featuring a wide variety of antique and hand crafted items from around the world.

  4. High Road to Taos

    A visit to Santa Fe would not be complete without a day trip to the high mountain art community of Taos, NM. There are several different ways to make your way to Taos but the very best way (as far as I'm concerned) is to take the "High Road".

  5. Santa Monica Pier

    Santa Monica Pier opened in 1909. It was the age of top hats and hoop dresses, and when walking above the waters of the Pacific Ocean was a novelty.

    Located at the bottom of Colorado Avenue, off of Ocean Avenue, the pier's original success was attributed to both a roller coaster and the famed La Monica Ballroom.

  6. McWay Falls

    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.

  7. Stearns Wharf

  8. The heart of Malaga

  9. Tinas

  10. Lewis Creek

    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 ;)
