Looking for an alternative to Salt Lake City? Check out beautiful nearby Antelope Island, home to animals such as bison, deer, bighorn sheep, and of course antelope. You’ll catch stunning views of the Great Salt Lake and the nearby Wasatch Range, and if you have time you can even explore historic Fielding Garr Ranch. Check it out!
They may not have the jagged majesty of western peaks, but the northeast’s Adirondacks are still stunning. Check out this selection of landscape beauty from the hike to Snowy Mountain, located in the southern section of the area.
More from everyone’s favorite secluded Idaho ghost town, Silver City! (Missed part I? Check it out here.)
Don’t let the seemingly close distance fool you. Even though Silver City, Idaho, is a mere 72 miles southwest of Boise, the last 15 or so miles of the journey take place on a narrow dirt road winding through the mountains – getting to this tiny ghost town is quite the trek! The ramshackle buildings, eyebrow-raising signage, and lonesome feel make the place a unique destination worth the visit, however. Take a look!
It may have been a while, but remember “Project New Zealand”? (No? If not, you can catch up on the story of why New Zealand is a project at the original blog entry.) Back in October, I brought you a collection of restored NZ photos with a specific Lord of the Rings theme and promised part II at a later date. Today is that later date. Enjoy!
