  1. Trail to Pebble Beach at Sea Ranch, California.

    (I'm aware of five distinct places in California named “pebble beach.” I often wonder if “Bean Hollow” was named that because there were already too many places called “pebble beach”?)

  2. Prickly Pear Cactus, upriver from Parker, Arizona.

    A lot of desert mountain was blasted to build “the bypass,” a highway to route impatient drivers around the congested area paralleling the Colorado River. There are many wide places you can safely park a car, scale the man-made cliff face, and take a short walk to find vast desert vistas that most of the people below don't know exist.

  3. @enog I love lighthouses. But West Coast lighthouses have a “problem”: they're always in beautiful and interesting places, and I get distracted. 😄 We were planning to visit this lighthouse at Point Arena and then continue to Mendocino, but spent 3+ hours exploring Stornetta and never got to Mendocino. 🤷‍♂️

  4. Stornetta Public Lands, California

    The bluffs at Stornetta were once coastal seafloor that was uplifted by the movement of the Pacific Plate to form a terrace. The sides of the terrace eroded and collapsed over time to form the bluffs seen today. The top of the bluffs looks and feels like poured concrete.

  5. Bear Gulch Reservoir, Pinnacles National Park, California

    Pinnacles is the western half of an ancient volcano that once straddled the San Andreas fault. There is a system of caves under the mountain, but they were only open in dry years and I can only recall exploring them once. But that was 30 years ago, 20 years before “drought” became part of our new normal. I'm curious what happened to those caves and this tiny reservoir those years, and what it looks like now after our record rainfall.
