A spectacular view along the Four Mile Trail in Yosemite National Park. One of the hardest and most challenging hikes with a tremendous reward at the top -- breathtaking views of Glacier point. Woo hoo!

My daughter Eleanor was very excited that the first part of our 5 day backpacking trip through the Smokies started on the fabled Appalachian Trail near Clingman's Dome.

With daughter Eleanor waiting for sunset from Cliff Tops on Mt. Leconte. This was her first time there. My parents started taking me up Leconte in the early 1960s.

The Best View
Chelsea Sutcliffe , February 14, 2013
My boyfriend, Joe, and I climbed to the top of a nearby mountain just so we could get a better view of the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park. The hike was definitely worth it!
