Watch the Sunset at Joe Pool Lake
Cedar Hill, Texas
4.0
Cedar Hill State Park and Joe Pool Lake are located just outside of Downtown Dallas. While Joe Pool Lake has many access points, I prefer the picnic area I marked on the map. From this side of the lake you can watch the sunset drastically over a completely flat horizon, and if there are clouds you can witness a beautiful display of color across the water.It's pretty hot in the summer, but on a ...

Walk to North Lighthouse

In order to reach the Lighthouse you must walk along the trail that begins at the end of Corn Neck Rd. This walk is along the beach and then veers off to the left once you get closer to the light house (the seventh picture shows the start of the walk). It's only a half mile to the light house, but you will be walking over a rocky sandy beach, so having sturdy shoes is important. There are a lot...

Swim at the Blue Hole
Punta Cana, Dominican RepublicThe Blue Hole Cave is a natural phenomenon located in one of the natural parks of Punta Cana. The cave sits at the base of a cliff and access to it involves a short nature walk through the jungle. There are stairs that lead down to the pool where you can swim or you can jump off the dock into the water (which I preferred because the water is rather cold). Make sure you bring your own towel! I b...
Camp at Blue River Campground
Summit County, ColoradoThere are 24 sites at the Blue River Campground that have access to well maintained vault toilets, fire pits, and picnic tables. The campsites range in size, from single tent to multi-tent use (however no RV hookups).This campground is popular in the summer and can fill up every weekend, so I recommend getting there early to claim a spot closer to the river. You cannot book spots in advance so ...

If you're thinking of staying here long term there are time limits: ...
Explore Block Island on Mopeds
New Shoreham, Rhode IslandBlock Island offers beautiful beaches, lighthouses, cliffs, and harbors - but what's the best way to see them all? Mopeds of course! We went through Island Moped & Bike but there are other options if you want to shop around. We chose them because they had a special rate for an afternoon/evening ride when we would be on the island. We took Corn Neck Rd to the North end of the island to see t...

Summit South Sandia Peak

0.93 mi
/ 521 ft gain
The hike starts out at the Prince Henry Cliff Walk at the popular Scenic World in the Blue Mountains. The length of the trail isn't very long, but it's a very steep drop down to the bottom and the hike back out is quite strenuous. We took snacks with us and hung out the bottom for a while before making the trek back up. There's a great view of the waterfall from the top of the rim at Echo Point...

Get a Bird's Eye View of Nairobi
Nairobi, Kenya
5.0
The best view Nairobi has to offer! This incredible 360 view is definitely worth the vertigo you feel when you're standing on top of this tower. It's a $5 entrance fee you will pay upon entering the center and then you'll ride the elevator all the way to the top. Be careful with small children because the railing is very low on the top of the building!
Hike Indian River Park
Chesapeake, Virginia
5.0
2 mi
/ 0 ft gain
When you're short on time and you need your daily dose of nature, Indian River Park is a quick little 'getaway'. It is best to park at Rokeby Center. When you arrive to the park you'd be surprised that this little patch of nature exists in the middle of the town. The trail can be hard to follow at times, but it's a 2 mile loop so all the little trail off shoots tend to end up in the same direc...
