Hiking Avalanche Lake Trail
Glacier National Park is world renowned for its glacier carved mountains. Visitors can drive the famous Going to the Sun Road to see firsthand the alpine splendor of its majestic peaks, valleys, and lakes—and maybe see a few mountain goats and bighorn sheep as well.

Hot Air Balloons Rising at Dawn
I never like getting up early in the morning, but today is different. I have booked a hot air balloon ride and I'm required to be up at the crack of dawn to be at the centre for the launch. I travelled to the balloon centre, driving while still dark and while the rest of England sleeps under a full moon. I eventually arrive at the balloon centre and start to meet up with the other intrepid passengers for our flight.

Looking for Fall Mushrooms in New Hampshire. Top Story - June 2019.
Mushrooms are a truly magnificent thing to behold. According to mycologists (people who study mushrooms), there are over 10,000 known species of mushrooms, and there are even more which are undiscovered. Identifying mushrooms is a challenging and rewarding hobby, even if you don't set out to consume any of your findings. Learning about different structures and features can seem overwhelming, but once you can start to put the pieces together, simply identifying different species feels extremely gratifying.

Yoga in the Meadow at Spring Mountain Ranch
Personally, I wouldn't call myself a yogi, but more of a person who has done many, many yoga classes over the past twelve years or so. While most of my yoga experiences have been at my local gym, I have participated in a few classes in different locations that I have really enjoyed. Doing yoga outdoors has been a very cool experience for me. I think being in nature helps me feel more connected to the practice of yoga. I am able to be more mindful during the class, and I feel more relaxed when it is over compared to when I have done yoga at the gym. Recently, I took a yoga class at the meadow at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park just outside of the Vegas Valley. I had a great experience I'd like to share, as well as provide some information to those who would like to give it a try.

An Exceptional Haven— Bobiri Forest and Butterfly Sanctuary, Ghana
The light and warmth which is received from the sun when you start entering Bobiri Forest and Butterfly Sanctuary is extraordinarily marvelous. The sun that falls on the thick trees gives it a special beauty. The forest canopy also creates a cool and conducive environment for visitors who walk on the carefully laid path. Expect to feel some sort of happiness, because the variety of butterflies were à gogo with charming colours which obviously, is visually attractive. The sanctuary is 54 square km of the semi-deciduous tropical rainforest and one of the nicest ecotourism centres found in Ghana and West Africa in general. As one of the patronised butterfly gardens in West Africa, Bobiri forest and butterfly sanctuary has well over four-hundred kinds of butterflies. These harmless butterflies are at their best during mid-day since they do not like moisture. Meanwhile, the various trees here are grown for research, educational, and ornamental purposes. Institutions, individuals and students once in a while throng to the Bobiri forest for various research.
