Look Back: Galapagos Islands
Six hundred miles off the coast of Ecuador you’ll find the Galapagos National Park which encompasses 97% of the land mass of the Galapagos Islands and the surrounding waters. This is one of the most bio-diverse places on earth.
Loveland, CO–Rocky Mountain National Park
(Click here for more photographs.)
We entered Colorado for the first time as motorhome travelers. Our first stop was Loveland, in order to visit Rocky Mountain National Park. In Loveland we parked at Riverview RV Park.
Columbia Falls, MT & Glacier National Park
(Click here for more photographs.)
This is the first time in Montana for both of us. Columbia Falls is located southwest of the west entrance to Glacier National Park. We parked at the LaSalle RV Park.
I don’t attempt to rank national parks and other places of natural beauty since each place offers something unique and special. But suffice it to say that Glacier National Park gave us many opportunities to feel overwhelmed with the sheer scale and beauty of what we were seeing. This place that was carved and shaped by geological forces and glaciers occupies about one million acres in northwestern Montana.
Carlsbad Caverns; Carlsbad, NM
(Click here for more photographs.)
Carlsbad Caverns has a large natural opening so it was just a matter of time before someone entered and explored the caves within. In this case it was James White in 1898 at 16 years old. He made numerous trips into the caves to explore and for many years he was the only person who knew his way around.
