His name is Pablo. He's a diving instructor and it shows. As he enters the intense blue water, sporting snorkeling gear instead of the usual tanks and other diving equipment, a group of wanna-be-expert snorkelers follow behind. Suddenly, there's a terrific barking and the snorkelers stare wide-eyed at one another, swallowing hard, trying to remember to breathe. Pablo smiles easily and gracefully descends amid a colony of playful sea lions. |

Its moniker may not seem especially inspired, but the name Big Mountain is fitting. Nestled in the northwest corner of Montana, 60 miles south of the Canada-USA border, Big Mountain boasts big topography, big snowfalls, and a big choice of winter activities. |

The Yuma Territorial Prison in Arizona is where they put Elena Estrada after she took a knife, ripped out the heart of her unfaithful lover, and threw it in his face. |

History buffs think of Taos as the town Kit Carson called home, and the site of the most successful pueblo uprising in North America. Artists consider it an art colony; New Agers are drawn to its reputedly powerful energy center, and celebrity watchers know it as a home-away-from-the-spotlight for Julia Roberts, Dennis Hopper and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. |

As I wander cobblestone streets climbing between white-stuccoed buildings with red-tiled roofs and window boxes overflowing with bougainvillea, I could be in a seaside Mediterranean hamlet. But turning to look at palm trees swaying on the golden-sand beach, and the Bay of Banderas melting into the horizon, I am—most happily—on the Mexican Riviera. |

Route 66, which connected Chicago with Los Angeles before the interstate highway system was built, was an introduction to the Wild West for travelers from the East as they encountered trading posts, tepees and even a giant jackrabbit. |

It’s a magical place with a picturesque landscape of towering vermilion cliffs and fire-red buttes and mesas. In Sedona, Arizona, the red-rock mountains stand out against a blue sky as vivid as a cartoon, creating one of the most unforgettable sights that I’ve ever seen |

About the time the geese fly their “V” patterns over the cloud-shrouded Northwest, the species arvee snowbirdicus (a peculiar segment of homo sapiens) shows the classic signs of getting ready to migrate to its winter retreat. Highway maps come out of hiding; summer clothing is packed into RVs and sighs emanate from lips when local weather forecasters put falling temperatures on their TV graphics. The “QZ” call has begun. |

I have gasped my way up 164 stairs (but who’s counting) and it was definitely worth it. At the top of the Astoria Column on Coxcomb Hill, I am at the highest point in Astoria, Oregon, and the view is simply astounding: forests, mountains and water—lots of water because this is where the Columbia River empties into the Pacific Ocean. |

The entire Oregon coast is renowned for its beauty, but the south coast is nothing short of spectacular, often making it feel like you are in the midst of a life-sized picture postcard. |
