Cottonwood Canyon and Toadstool Hoodoos Andrey actually had a semblance of a plan, that included viewing of hoodoos - sandstone or mud columns capped with somewhat less soluble mud or rock. These are common in the vicinity of Cottonwood Canyon and Lake Powell; one of the areas is right off...

Andrey was devastated. All that planning, shuffling of maps, checking distances and driving times in Google Maps, digging up the information about permits to go to this or that place - all for nothing. Out of the five days set aside for the trip - two were taken away, one because of a happy, and...

I wanted to drive this trail long time ago. Do you have a map or gpx file?

Please keep it coming!

Thanks for nice words!

It looks similar to Fins and Things - is it really? ... and I have nearly identical crease on the right rear quarter of my white D1!

Thanks Chris!

Great trip, awesome report, and fantastic photos! Thanks for taking time to put the report together!

Thank you Jason! Island fever makes you do things :)

Great trip and photos! Thanks for sharing!

Well.. it applies to all other places we write about on this site, isn't it? And not too many people end up in Kauai. The "glamour" isn't quite there yet.

Funny you should mention it... On 9/11, I was getting ready to drive to MCAS Kaneohe... And it got delayed by several weeks.

Awesome, it made me envious. Gotta run to San Felipe during the winter break!

Thanks!

Dozens of hiking trails spur off the Hwy.550 and all of its tributaries. Some of them - a few hundred feet long, some others - many miles with half-mile elevation changes. There is a lodge near the highway - rumors had it that the cafe was open during the day. Not far from it there's a...

Further West... we come to a fork: one road goes to the mountains (Waimea Canyon Road, or Hwy.550), and another hugs to coast to Pacific Missile Range and a beautiful Barking Sands beach in Polihale State Park. First - take to the mountains. Waimea Canyon Road I just have to wax lyrical about...

If you cross Hwy.50 into about a thousand-foot-long Hwy.541, you'll visit Port Allen: There's a bunch of stores, a few cafes, and a marina - with all signs of boat tour activity. On your westward way, if you turn left on Lele Rd. about a quarter-mile West of the Hanapepe river bridge (at...
