The New Forest National Park
The United Kingdom is home to 15 designated National Parks, areas of natural beauty and historic or cultural significance.

At the end of this post is a bonus recipe for bread pudding.
Prehistoric History: Stonehenge
Our first full day in England was spent at prehistoric Stonehenge and in Salisbury. Stonehenge is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and it thought to have been built in during the later part of the Neolithic Era and the Bronze Age between 3000 and 1250 BC.

Bryce Canyon National Park
Bryce Canyon National Park is one of Utah's 'big five' national parks located in southern Utah and is extraordinarily scenic any time of year. This post is a hike up memory lane, detailing our 2015 summer trip.
Lower Arroyo Seco Trails
An iconic Southern California landmark is the Colorado Street Bridge in Pasadena, running alongside California Route 134 and Interstate 210, spanning what is known as the Arroyo Seco. The Arroyo Seco is a stream and watershed in Los Angeles County, beginning in the San Gabriel Mountains and meandering through Pasadena to the Los Angeles River in northeastern Los Angeles. There are many great hikes along the Arroyo Seco's 22 miles; this post covers some of the lower trails.
