I'll have to go with "The End of the Road" on Kauai, passed Hanalei. The only way forward is by boat or foot. It was considered a Sacred place for Hawaiians before the White Man took over. I cry for all the development that has happened since my mom lived in this very special part of the island of Kauai.



My 2nd pick will have to be just about anywhere in Yellow Stone. I've only visited, but I was in Awe.

I've been to the Grand Canyon (hiked down and spent the night, fished in the Colorado (didn't catch anything). But as beautiful as deserts are, they are not my favorite.

More my speed is the fantastic Redwood Forests on the west coast. I lived in 2 wonderful places that were surrounded by Redwoods, in my younger years in a magical place called La Honda (not to be confused with La Hoya), and then more recently Mill Valley (not far from Muir Woods). Both in the Bay area.

Long ago we lived near the border of Arizona/New Mexico/Utah/Colorado. My mothers bf was a Forest Ranger. (he is the one who taught me to fish) I loved it there, but again, a little too dry there. I used to go to Florida for the summers to stay with grandparents. That was nice too. Very flat there! I loved the Ocean, but I do love mountains (I think my favorite to look at are the Grand Tetons)

I could go on, there is no end to the beauty of our world. I live in Napa now. Kind of too hot in summer for me, and way too dry. It is pretty though. Lots of wildlife around my house.

This is reminding me I need to get out more and see it!
