My weekend trip of hiking in Virginia at the turn of April/May 2022, along the northern part of Blue Ridge Parkway.

A post about my trip to Philadelphia, about bird viewing, cherry blossoms and museums.

It’s the final day of my 2020 Utah trip, I would be taking Southwest flight 1286 back to Baltimore.
This would actually be my 100th flight.

Eighth day of my Utah trip. I would hike Chimney Rock Trail in the morning, and drive back to the suburbs of Salt Lake City in the afternoon for tomorrow's morning flight back home.

Seventh day of my Utah trip. I would be visiting Capitol Reef National Park today, hiking Cassidy Arch, Grand Wash and Hickman Bridge trails.

Sixth day of my Utah trip. In the morning, I would be visiting Corona and Bowtie Arch, which were two arches in the Moab area that weren’t part of any established parks. Then I would use the rest of the day to make the road trip to Torrey, the gateway town to Capitol Reef National Park, paying a visit to Goblin Valley State Park along the way.

Fifth day of my Utah trip. I would be spending the day between Dead Horse Point State Park and Canyonlands National Park. The two parks were located close to each other, both offered views of magnificent landscapes combined with short hiking trails.

Fourth day of my Utah trip. I would be stargazing and sunrise watching in Canyonlands National Park in the morning, and then visit Arches National Park for a second time in the afternoon.

Third day of my Utah trip. I would finally be in one of Utah’s "mighty five" National Parks. I would be driving from Green River to Moab, and spend the majority of the day in Arches National Park.

Second day of my Utah trip as I would be driving from Salt Lake City to Green River, stopping at many places along the road to soak in the sceneries.
