• Death Valley Star Trails

  

  An abbreviated star trails shot using about 50 exposures. The multi-colored background light must be from Las Vegas, over 100 miles away. Because of this ambient light, the star trails don’t look as pronounced as when it is completely dark out. When you combine 50 exposures, you are combining the light from each as well.…

• Leftovers From Death Valley

  Leftovers can be good. Like pizza or Chinese food, leftovers may be better than the originals.       The Furnace Creek Inn at Death Valley rents for a cool $499 per night. They also charge a $13.44 per day resort fee. Really?

• Wintry Owens Valley

  In the middle of my visit to Death Valley last week, I made a side trip through California’s Owens Valley.  The snow level was much lower than in previous years as California has been hit with numerous storms this winter.

• Pine Valley Mountains In Snow

  Recent snow has completely engulfed The Pine Valley Mountains in Southern Utah, just north of St. George.  The arctic white peaks are quite a contrast to the parched desert sagebrush in the lower elevations. Signal Peak is the highest point here at 10,365 feet. This range is located within Dixie National Forest and is about…

  California’s Owens Valley is home to the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range to the west and The White Mountains to the east. Some of the tallest peaks in the country are here.  Two weeks ago, a winter storm was blasting through the area and as happens frequently, was unable to move further east to Owens Valley…

• The Good, The Bad and The Beautiful – More From The Grand Tetons

  I arrived at the entrance of Grand Teton National Park around 2pm. I asked the ranger if the heavy cloud cover would lift. You could not see The Tetons at all. Like a conservative weatherman, he said the chances were 50/50. I drove in and around the park and basically bided my time for conditions…
