  • Trek to see Siula Grande (east face, 20,800 feet or 6344 meters elevation) and other spectacular peaks in the Cordillera Huayhuash, Andes Mountains, Peru, South America. Siula Grande was the subject of the gripping 2003 British docudrama "Touching the Void." In 1985, climbers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates scaled the treacherous Siula Grande, one of the last unconquered mountains in the Andes, but after Joe broke his leg, their descent became one of the most amazing survival stories in mountaineering history. This photo shows the northeast face, but they climbed Siula Grande from a valley on the other side (the west face) and descended along the north ridge, on the upper right. The 2003 movie is based upon Joe Simpson's harrowing book, "Touching the Void: The True Story of One Man's Miraculous Survival."

  • Lady Face Falls on Stanley Lake Trail. Sawtooth National Recreation Area, Idaho, USA. Hike Stanley Lake Trail to Lady Face Falls & Bridal Veil Falls (9.1 miles round trip with 1000 feet gain to both). The main trail is wide and easy, but the side trip to see each falls requires scrambling with steep exposure on slippery, loose rocks. The Sawtooth Range (part of the Rocky Mountains) are made of pink granite of the 50 million year old Sawtooth batholith. Sawtooth Wilderness, managed by the US Forest Service within Sawtooth National Recreation Area, has some of the best air quality in the lower 48 states (says the US EPA), except when compromised by forest fires.

  • Face in giant tropical leaf. The exquisite Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden near Hilo is my favorite garden in the Hawaiian Islands! Delightful paths and boardwalks take you through a soothing green tropical wonderland endowed with streams (Alakahi Stream, Boulder Creek), waterfalls (Onomea Falls) and oceanfront vistas across Onomea Bay. Purchased in 1977 and transformed over 8 backbreaking years by Dan and Pauline Lutkenhouse, the garden opened to the public in 1984 and was donated to a nonprofit trust in 1995. On the Big Island, a few minutes north of Hilo off of Route 19, take the narrow four-mile Pepe'ekeo Scenic Drive which winds along coastal cliffs, across one-lane wooden bridges over picturesque waterfalls, to reach this peaceful oasis. The garden grows over 2000 plant species, representing more than 125 families and 750 genera, with diverse palms (nearly 200 species), heliconias (80+ species) and bromeliads (80+ species).

  • The icy blue face of Perito Moreno Glacier melts into Lake Argentino, in Los Glaciares National Park, near El Calafate, Argentina, Patagonia, South America. The spectacular Perito Moreno Glacier is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field (the world's third largest reserve of fresh water). Lago Argentino is the biggest freshwater lake in Argentina and reaches as deep as 500 meters (1640 feet). Its outlet, the Santa Cruz River, flows into the Atlantic Ocean. Despite most glaciers worldwide retreating due to global warming, Perito Moreno Glacier has been a relatively stable exception for the past hundred years. Located 78 kilometers (48 mi) from El Calafate, the glacier was named after explorer Francisco Moreno, a pioneer who studied the region in the 1800s and defended the territory of Argentina in the conflict surrounding the international border dispute with Chile. Los Glaciares National Park is honored on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

  • Lighted east face of Matsumoto Castle, built 1592-1614, backed by twilight over Japan Alps, in Nagano Prefecture. The castle was built from 1592-1614 in Matsumoto. Matsumoto Castle is a "hirajiro" - a castle built on plains rather than on a hill or mountain, in Matsumoto. Matsumotojo's main castle keep and its smaller, second donjon were built from 1592 to 1614, well-fortified as peace was not yet fully achieved at the time. In 1635, when military threats had ceased, a third, barely defended turret and another for moon viewing were added to the castle. Interesting features of the castle include steep wooden stairs, openings to drop stones onto invaders, openings for archers, as well as an observation deck at the top, sixth floor of the main keep with views over the Matsumoto city.

  • Hikers walk a dog along a rock face near Northgate Peaks trail, Zion National Park, Springdale, Utah, USA. The North Fork of the Virgin River carved spectacular Zion Canyon through reddish and tan-colored Navajo Sandstone up to half a mile (800 m) deep and 15 miles (24 km) long. Uplift associated with the creation of the Colorado Plateaus lifted the region 10,000 feet (3000 m) starting 13 million years ago. Zion and Kolob canyon geology includes 9 formations covering 150 million years of mostly Mesozoic-aged sedimentation, from warm, shallow seas, streams, lakes, vast deserts, and dry near-shore environments. Mormons discovered the canyon in 1858 and settled in the early 1860s. U.S. President Taft declared it Mukuntuweap National Monument in 1909. In 1918, the name changed to Zion (an ancient Hebrew name for Jerusalem), which became a National Park in 1919. The Kolob section (a 1937 National Monument) was added to Zion National Park in 1956. Unusually diverse plants and animals congregate here where the Colorado Plateau, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert meet.

  • The Cordillera Huayhuash reflects in a small lake at 15,000 feet in the Andes Mountains, Peru, South America. The highest peak on the right is Siula Grande (east face 20,800 feet or 6344 meters elevation), which was the subject of the gripping 2003 British docudrama "Touching the Void." In 1985, climbers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates scaled the treacherous Siula Grande, one of the last unconquered mountains in the Andes, but after Joe broke his leg, their descent became one of the most amazing survival stories in mountaineering history. This photo shows the northeast face, but they climbed Siula Grande from a valley on the other side (the west face) and descended along the north ridge, on the upper right. The 2003 movie is based upon Joe Simpson's harrowing book, "Touching the Void: The True Story of One Man's Miraculous Survival." At center is the peak of Carnicero (19,550 feet / 5960 meters).
