The colours are amazing at Yellowstone National Park:
Yellowstone is mostly in Wyoming, touching on Idaho and Montana.
There is some good hiking in Yellowstone. But we recommend nearby Teton Crest Trail as the best in the region.
the best besthike.com photos
On the right hand navigation of the besthike.com blog we’ve added a Flickr “badge” linking to 120 of our best photos. More will be added in future.
Rick McCharles is hosting this on his pro account.
Another Flickr badge to all photos tagged with the word “hiking” is included at the bottom of the navigation. These badges change each time you reload the page.

I just uploaded my collected highlight travel photos which have migrated through various locations over the years.
In Flickr I can easily add and edit. Others can easily find and comment.

Terragenâ„¢ software – photorealistic landscapes
Have you heard of Terragen?
It’s software for generating real looking landscapes. This is not an actual mountain, but a generated image.
More terragen images by artist Luc Bianco.
Terragenâ„¢ still offers a free beta version if you want to try it.

Bruce Kirkby – travel photos
Blue Nile Falls — also known as Tis Issat or Tissasat Falls. (Ethiopia)
The flow has been greatly reduced since a hydro-electric station started diverting the river in 2003.
Chang Tang, Tibetan Plateau
Have you heard of the Chang Tang?
A part of the world half the size of the continental USA?
Me neither.
George Schaller made 11 trips between 1985 and 2001. I read a couple of his books so perhaps I did hear of the region.
The photographer is Galen Rowell, who’s work was admired by Ansel Adams. This was Rowell’s last adventure. He and his wife were killed in a plane crash in California.
National Geographic sponsored expedition to Chang Tang
Bruce Kirby pitched the idea to National Geographic and worked a year on the Chang Tang project. But NG went ahead without him.

great pics of Bolivia
Lee Chai has a good eye.
My buddy Grant climbed Volcan Licancabur. It’s much tougher and higher than it looks. 5916m (19404ft)
