The Natural Bridge of New England really pertained to the natural bridge formation that was unique in that it was composed of marble. In fact, during our visit to this park, we noticed there were…

Kent Falls was perhaps one of the more family-friendly waterfalls we had experienced during our New England trip in 2013. The reason why I say this is because the falls was fronted by a very large…

Chapman Falls was the first waterfall that we saw on our New England trip in 2013. We managed to see it as part of a long drive from Cape Cod in the far southeastern end of Massachusetts towards…

During the 80 minutes of driving to this point, I was talking with Julie about the prospect of going all the way out to Acadia National Park and not being able to visit thanks to the shutdown…

This was a weekend backpacking trip that began and ended in Onion Valley. The ultimate main goal of this physical challenge was to get up to the Kearsarge Pass (and get the kind of Eastern Sierra panorama that many in the backpacking…

Then, as we were climbing the last few switchbacks, it started raining at 12:20pm. This was definitely not a good sign. When we encountered another pair guy hikers who were coming back down…

The Onion Valley Waterfalls are what I’m dubbing the series of cascades draining the many lakes of Onion Valley between Kearsarge Pass and Independence. They were merely my waterfalling excus…

This itinerary covered a three-week trip to mostly Central and Northern Italy. Julie and I traveled alone on this trip since we thought Tahia was too little to deal with the inevitable cigarette smoke as well as the additional logistics involved when you bring a third person along…

L’Orrido di Sant’Anna pertained to the name of a church by the hamlet of Traffiume, which belonged to the larger town of Cannobio. We were also led to believe in the literature (and in our DK…

Cascata di Foroglio (Foroglio Waterfall) was a gorgeous waterfall free-falling some 80m from a hanging valley (Val Calnegia) with a power and grace that made this perhaps the prime natural attraction.

Cascata di Bignasco was a surprisingly satisfying waterfall that we noticed while we were headed up the Valle Maggia en route to the Cascata di Foroglio. At first, we intended to treat it like the…

Cascata del Gorg d’Abiss was another one of those obscure waterfalls that we didn’t plan on visiting when we set out on our 2013 trip to Italy. It wasn’t until I was trying to figure out the name…

Cascata del Varone (Waterfall of the Varone) was one of the more unique waterfall experiences we had in Italy. It was basically a waterfall that had carved deep slots into the mountain. There…

“Cascata di Trento” (“Waterfall of Trento”) is a name that I made up for this rather prominent yet obscure waterfall that we noticed multiple times while both driving by and touring the city of…

Cascate di Nardis (Nardis Waterfalls) seemed to be pretty well-known waterfalls as we became aware of it prior to our Italy trip through our DK guidebook as well as a visitor’s waterfall submission…

Cascate di Lares (Lares Waterfalls) were a series of a lower and upper waterfalls that we actually didn’t plan on seeing (let alone know about) prior to the start of our Italy trip in 2013…

Le Cascate di Riva (Riva Waterfalls; also Reinbachfälle in German) was a series of attractive waterfalls. From what we could tell, there were three main drops on the Riva River though there were…

Le Cascate di Barbiano (Barbiano Waterfalls; also Barbianer Wasserfälle in German) are a series of waterfalls located by the town of Barbiano (Barbian). I believe there were three main waterfalls…

Once we got all settled on the plane, it turned out that I was sitting next to this rather tall, but older Italian guy who got the unfortunate window seat. It was unfortunate because the seat…

Cascata di Parcines (Parcines Waterfall; also Wasserfall Partschinser in German) is said to be the tallest waterfall in the Alto Adige region of Italy (also known as Südtirol or South Tyrol) at 98m…
