  • Glacier Point

    Up high: Washburn Point and Glacier Point

    On our maiden visit to Yosemite National Park, we had merely scratched the surface of that rocky attraction up on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada. It was a day trip and we couldn’t fit Glacier Point into it. Before and after that trip, I’d been seeing so...
  • Shasta Caverns

    Shasta Lake Caverns –  A Treasure Trove of Rock Formations

    You’ve seen a lot of rock formations here on Tipsy from the TRIP. From ones crafted by volcanic activity to ones carved by glaciers and ones exposed by wind and water erosion, you’ve seen several. Now you will see rocks weathered by chemicals to form some amazing natural sculptures...
  • Garden of the Gods

    Sculpted by nature: A Red-Rock Garden for the Gods

    While I was charting out my trip to Colorado — a few years ago— I completely missed ‘The Garden of the Gods.’ To this day, I don’t know how that happened. Now that it’s in my ‘been-there-done-that-list,’ I’m glad I didn’t go all the way there only to have...

  • Another beach, an island and a beach on the island

    Up next, was Malpe Beach. Malpe is around 50 kilometres south of Maravanthe. But as we drove down Edapally-Panvel Highway, this time, it felt like our destination was farther away than we thought it was. It was only when I looked up the map on my phone that I...
  • One mighty river gorge, two scenic routes and umpteen vistas

    Fall means rainy season in the Pacific Northwest. However, Thanksgiving Day (last year) promised to be a fairly sunny day albeit a cold one and we took advantage of this respite-from-the-rain and decided to go exploring the region. We were in Vancouver, Washington and our plan for the day...
  • California Zephyr - Scenic Route

    Through Zephyr’s picture window

    If Amtrak swears that a trip on the California Zephyr is a journey through one of the most picturesque train routes in North America, they really seem to mean it. The pictures in this photo-feature will prove just that — that this is indeed a ‘scenic train route’. In...
