Fairy falls

There are two different ways to get to the Fairy falls trailhead. The one we hiked took us up to the new overlook for the Grand Prismatic pool also. So a 2in1 deal and it was worth it. This trail starts at the Steel bridge just south of Mid-way geyser basin. It was simple to […]

Mystic falls

The hike to Mystic falls was pure happenstance as Floyd and I were actually trying to reach the new Grand Prismatic overlook. However we mistakenly headed up the Biscuit basin trail and that’s how we came across Mystic falls trail. The trail is really easy going and about .7/10 ths of a mile. Most of […]

Mt. Washburn

I love it when you show up for work and are not on the schedule. Such was the day that I decided to head up to Mt. Washburn. Hiking alone is really not recommended in YNP, but this peak was not only very accessible but very popular. I had already checked out the trailhead and […]

The Yellowstone Hot springs.

Living in Yellowstone was great and while I really did enjoy all the hot springs, it left me longing for a real good soak. Luckily a couple of miles from the North entrance of the YNP lies a classy, revamped spring open to the public. Getting the chance I grabbed my swimsuit and headed up […]

Las Grutas de Rancho Nuevo.

I’d been planning a trip to the caves of the “new ranch” for almost three months, so it was about time that I actually went! These caves are not particularly hard to get to and they are also very close to Comitan. In fact they’re just on this side of San Cristobal, Chiapas. So it […]

The Grutas San Rafael del Arco, Lagos de Montebello caves.

There really wasn’t much on the internet about these caves located in Montebello National Park, just mention of their existence. So I really had no idea what we were going to find when we arrived besides the five lakes. On the back half of the lakes we branched off toward lake Canada and here’s where […]

Lagos de Montebello, Cinco Lagos.

The next day off from work I headed back up to check out the five lakes of Montebello. The ride from Comitan, Mx. was a little over an hour and after having had explored the region, we got off at the correct stop. The entry fee again here was 25 pesos or a little over […]

Lagos de Montebello, Tziscao

Tziscao, is a name I can neither pronounce in English, or Spanish. This lake is part of a chain of lakes known as Lagos de Montebello, which is a stones throw from Guatemala. I had planned on making this my home base and sprouting out to the other lakes, however the weekend slipped away quickly. […]

Chinkultic

Chinkultic is a little jem tucked away along the edge of Lagos de Montebello National park. I was really impressed with the ruins, mostly because of the beautiful location. Though not very large or well preserved the views here were absolutely amazing. From Comitan I caught the small van heading towards the Lagos de Montebello […]

El Chorreadero

I should have took a picture of the sign advertising for this place, because when I got back to Tuxtla I couldn’t remember the name. So after a good nights rest I headed back to Chiapa de Corzo and asked the man at the kiosk how to get there. Funny thing was you can’t really […]
