I’ve found a lot of hidden gems found over the past few years, but it’s hard to top Mt Rainier on a cold, rainy day. Toss a sleeping bag in the car, and spend three or four days exploring in solitude. Most people stay away when the sun isn't out.

My back yard...

No snow now though, and Olive's arthritis is stopping us from going up and down the hills.

Right now? The dike system near my house. Tons of walking trails, not many people and a great view

The cabin some friends and I stayed in last summer in Colorado was pretty nice

I love a good chill y mountain top in a light rain with a brisk breeze. However, I just don’t do many outdoor ramblings. There aren’t all that many outdoors to ramble all that close to here except the (quite small for a) national park. However, what little there is is excellent.

Nearby Stone Mountain is too touristy and is basically a theme park. Too bad, because the views are amazing.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention my backyard.

And Old Car City USA is one of my favorite places to walk around but the entry fee and long distance away makes that a once a year sort of thing.

Man, that’s what I miss about being up northwest . So many good parks, trails and camping areas everywhere.

I need to find someone to do more outside stuff with here, but yeah. Here, I really liked being out on a canoe on Town Lake even though I got roooooooasted, although now that I’ve been ripping around Pease Park, that one rules, too. Big trees, nice long trail, pleasant creek, plenty of places to stop when my out-of-shape butt needs a rest, walking/biking distance from the house.

Of all time? Gaaaaah. There was a good campsite we went to somewhere on Puget Sound that was on the water, but I can’t for the life of me think of the name . Sameish deal: lots of good hiking trails, beautiful scenery, big trees, a beach! (rocky NW beach, but it counts) , quiet enough, etc., etc.

I would absolutely love to go back to Zimbabwe. A truly beautiful country with wonderful people and culture.

Maybe it’s cheating, but my favorite outdoor spot is behind the wheel of my Jeep, pretty much anywhere in southern Indiana.

too many to name a favorite, and it seems like each new place I get that feeling becomes my new favorite.

Hocking Hills Park and it’s surrounding area in Southeastern Ohio.

Bonus picture of Ruby in her sweater because if I delete it I lose two other pictures.

I just love the mountains when I travel to the smoky mountains.

At home, the bayou side and my rock garden/ R/C vehicle area

I think it’s Long Beach/Combers Beach in Tofino. But I don’t get there as often as I want.

My favourite outdoor spot I get to regularly is unofficially called Confed Beach, or Bonfire Beach, depending on who you talk to. It’s not exactly beautiful, but it’s the most removed from civiliz ation I can get in the least amount of time.

Well around here it would be Point Reyes and Fort Cronkhite. I’m from Hawaii but I’m not going to tell secret spots there! I surf here at Cron mostly, first pic .

I enjoyed your wonderings in Greece. Be sure to do that again at the next place!

Gorgeous. Reminds me of PNW, just with different rock formations

Now that is a view. I can't wait until I'm in a position to look for something similar!

I know the feeling. You've single-handedly put Utah on the map for me

Alpine lakes are my jam. Hidden Lake in the North Cascades and the Rae Lakes on the John Muir Trail  in Kings Canyon/Sequoia come to mind.

Not the best picture of the place, but this is the lake in Manitoba that I’ve been going to for 20 years. It’s a large fairly remote lake with only three camps on the whole lake so it’s never crowded. This past week was actually the annual fishing week but Covid still has the border shut down so we had to miss it this year. Ended up fishing the Missouri River in central SD which was still great, but not the same.

Second favorite place is the Black Hills of SD.

Yes... I’ll never forget the lakes in Glacier NP.
