Tuesday Travelogue April 25th

Welcome to the ongoing weekly series called Tuesday Travelogue. We are in our 126th week! 

Each week, some ActiveRain bloggers are spotlighted to take us somewhere we may not have been on some kind of virtual travel (and it doesn't cost a dime!). Here is the purpose:

  

 to enjoy the ride"

"take a trip without even leaving the farm"

"expand your horizons"

"see through someone else's eyes"

  and hopefully much more!

 Mother Earth is so kind to us. She lets us walk all over her and she doesn't ever complain. This week, I thought we would engage in just that--walking on Mother Earth's terrain. 

This particular post offers hiking at its most strenuous. The end result is glacial magnificence! Robert Swetz delivers Alaska elegance in hiking Blue Ice Glaciers. 

 

 

 

From ice to desertland, I bring you Southern Utah's Beauty and the Beast! The title of this post by Wanda Kubat-Nerdin is compelling as we see many of these types of moments on nature walks. Look but don't touch!

 

 

Top 50 Favorite Hiking Trails--that ought to keep you busy! Jeffrey Masich talks about hiking Arizona's many trails. 

West Fork Trail Oak Creek

 

If you are paying attention on your hikes, you will be graced by Mom Nature's creatures. They are everywhere if we just take the time to pause and take it in. Thank you, Brian England for your "Thoreau moment"! Brian's Monday Hike near Gilbert, AZ.

Please don't forget to comment on these blog posts and I hope that you enjoyed all of these virtual travels. 

 

Travellers in the Rain!

Gayle-That first one is magnificent. Have to be the virtual traveler on that one but seeing it without climbing it would be awesome.

Love the 3rd pic too. So many places to see. Can't wait to get started.

Gayle, Some great shots!  I haven't scratched my travel itch in quite awhile other than visiting my parents in West Virginia.  Definitely a few places out there I'd like to visit.  Bill

Respites of any kind that make us calmer and more energized are a welcome thing to partake in, Ron and Alexandra Seigel and to share.  Glad you came along for the virtual ride.

Oh, Belinda Spillman this is always an eye-opener for me!

Fantastic travel photos from these AR travelers-you know how much I love to hike and can only imagine visitng those glaciers BEFORE global warming gets to them.  How breathtaking.  Off to Mexico and hope to have some photos for you!
