Ted's Outdoor World

Note: these pages are graphics-intensive.  Because compression of images
reduces their quality, no thumbnail graphics are used on this site.  If you are
using a slow internet connection or an inefficient browser, pages can take a
while to load.  I believe, however, that you will find any wait to be worthwhile.

Hiking Trails

More than one global explorer has concluded that the best overall hiking on the planet is in the Sierra Nevada.  I couldn't agree more, although there are other wonderful places to enjoy as well.  When I am surrounded by heather, phlox, and some running water, all is right with the world.  Join me on walks to some beautiful spots, and plan on stopping to smell the flowers.

Waterfalls

Waterfalls are the very best thing.  Many well-known examples are represented here, along with some personal favorites.  For my money, Vernal Falls in Yosemite is the world's most special place; you might prefer one of the others.
