angel on October 4, 2007 (traveled on September 30, 2007)Logan Canyon Scenic Byway (UT)
The fall foliage in Logan Canyon this year is simply splendid. I hiked the Crimson Trail for the first time Sunday. The day was sunny with just a little chill to keep you comfortable on the switchbacks. The mountainsides were covered with fiery red and orange maple... [more]
angel on September 12, 2007 (traveled on September 9, 2007)Scenic Byway 12 (UT)
We had a great time hiking down into the depths of Bryce Canyon on a sunny September morning. The view looking down there was daunting, as were the red faces and panting breaths of the people passing us going up the switchbacks as we went down. But the work was... [more]
angel on October 2, 2006 (traveled on September 19, 2005)Skyline Drive (VA)
As we proceeded south toward Skyland Resort on the Skyline Drive and our night's lodging, our headlights illuminated the trees on each side, with great gaps where overlooks were. We could tell we were really high up because of the city lights far below to the east.... [more]
angel on September 5, 2006 (traveled on August 7, 2006)Historic Bluff Country Scenic Byway (MN)
This was my second visit to the Root River valley area this year, and by far the best! The ridges, forests and farmlands were so green and blooming. I loved seeing huge blue and white morning glories twining up a porch in Hokah, and fields of corn, alfalfa and... [more]
angel on November 14, 2005 (traveled on October 15, 2005)Amish Country Byway (OH)
I would think the Amish Country Byway would be GREAT for cyclists, but we didn't see any. The wide shoulders of the roads (to accommodate the Amish buggies), the rolling hills, the quiet, the lack of traffic (once you got off the main highways.) We sure saw a lot of... [more]
angel on December 10, 2004 (traveled on August 12, 2004)Midland Trail (WV)
Driving through the lush green mountains of the Midland Trail was a soothing experience. All those soft green fields and looping roads. A farmhouse that appears unexpectedly around a bend... Ripe red apples on branches that dangle over roadside fences... Trees that... [more]
angel on March 25, 2004 (traveled on March 11, 2004)A1A Scenic & Historic Coastal Byway (FL)
St. Augustine on the A1A Scenic and Historic Coastal Highway was wonderful! I wish I could have stayed longer. My group stopped there on a Thursday afternoon, after driving down the coast and back again. I was fascinated by all the historic old places. The Spanish... [more]
angel on March 24, 2004 (traveled on March 9, 2004)Indian River Lagoon Scenic Highway (FL)
Where I live I don't see water in the wild all that often, let alone ocean. So waking up to a sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean from my beachfront hotel in Melbourne was a treat. Well, nearly every hotel on the breakwater of Indian River Lagoon Scenic Byway is... [more]
angel on December 2, 2003 (traveled on September 12, 2003)North Shore Scenic Drive (MN)
Ione's Beach on the North Shore Scenic Drive is a wonderful place. An entire shoreline of smooth peach-colored rocks just aching to be skipped into the grey waters of Lake Superior. I've never seen a place like it before. I've visited white, black, tan, grey, even... [more]
angel on November 7, 2003 (traveled on May 21, 2001)Grand Rounds Scenic Byway (MN)
In spring of 2001, I visited the Eloise Butler Wildflower Gardens on the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We happened to be there just at the right time to see all KINDS of wildflowers. I went a little wild with the camera, because not many of the... [more]
