Zion National Park, Utah

I will never forget this adventure in Zion National Park. There was so much to see: narrow canyons, steep cliffs and unpredictable weather - everything added to the challenge and adventure of my visit.

But before i continue my story i want to thank Sergei Yavorskiy for providing these pictures from our trip to Zion Park and sharing with you.

ATV Jungle Tour, Riviera Maya, Mexico 2012

During my trip to Cancun i went on ATV Jungle tour near Playa del Carmen. It was a guided tour around the jungle with stops at Cenote and cave.

On the picture below is my Mexican tour guide riding ATV with one hand at 35 mph and speaking on the phone at the same time.

It was a really cool race as that day there weren't any other tourists and this guy gave us an individual tour. The entire jungle was ours and i could try to squeeze max speed out of 4 wheel bike. There were so many turns there so if this dude didn't guide us we could definitely get lost.

Tulum, Riviera Maya, Mexico 2012

Tulum is another popular tourist destination located in Riviera Maya and just 1.5 hour drive from Cancun. Tulum was one of the last cities inhabited and built by the Mayans and also was a major city port for their civilization.  

I saw many times pictures of Tulum's ruins in travel magazines and always wanted to go there and see it on my own. And here it is, my dream came true.

Chichen Itza, Yucatan, Mexico 2012

Chichen Itza is archaeological city left after pre-Columbian Maya civilization and one of the most visited tourist attractions in Mexico. Recently, Chichen Itza was selected as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.  And of course if you have never been there you must go  see it. 

Half Dome, Yosemite Park, CA

If you are looking for hiking or camping in the forest with waterfalls, creeks and lots of wild  animals running around then you have to go to Yosemite National  Park in Northern California.  In this post i will tell you about Half Dome Trail, another extraordinary hike in North America.  It's like I've read somewhere -  Half Dome is the ultimate Yosemite day hike - the one you can't die without doing, and the one you're most likely to die while doing. 

Поехали с нами в Ёсемите.

Дорогие друзья. Намечается еще одна  Экспедиция «Силы добра против комаров»  в замечательный парк Ёсемите.  У нас образовалось несколько свободных мест. Желающие присоединиться пишите мне в личку.

REI Members Sale Sunday in Tustin.

I always say that for memorable and enjoyable backpacking or camping trip you need a professional gear. It is like having a comfortable shoes for a long walk. You don't want any surprises during your hike. I always consider REI Store like one of the best places to buy reliable outdoor gear and clothes. But they are pretty expensive. Recently i found out that REI is going to do Members Only used gear sale. They usually sell stuff after returns, opened box etc. To become REI member you have to pay only $20 but you can save much more then that, a specially if you need to buy multiple items. 


IF you need any outdoor gear and you want to save come to REI Store in Tustin on Sunday June 17, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm  at 2962 El Camino Real, at Jamboree Rd., on the Tustin side of The Market Place.
