Nepalese Prayer Wall
High in the Himalaya Mountains of Nepal, in an area known as Langtang, the buddhists have built prayer walls made of intricately carved stones. These prayer walls sometimes stretch for perhaps a hundred meters.




Village and Mountains
Villages in the Himalaya Mountains of Nepal typically stretch along a ridge of mountaintops. Many of these are entirely isolated and can be reached only by foot.

Yak in Himalayas
Grazing at nearly 5,000 meters elevation, this yak was photographed near Kyangin Gompa in the Himalaya Mountains of Nepal.




View From Roraima
Roraima is one of many unique mountains known as Tepuis. Tepuis are tall flat-topped mountains that rise nearly straight vertically from the grasslands where Venezuela, Brazil, and French Guiana meet. The tops of these mountains are so inaccessible that none were explored until Roraima, when National Geographic sponsored an expedition there in the early 1900's. Scientists learned that nearly half the life forms found there were unique and found nowhere else on earth.




Los Nevados
Los Nevados is a beautiful village in the Andes Mountains of Venezuela. A typical excursion there typically starts from Merida, where the tallest cable car in the world takes you high into the mountains. From there, a long, beautiful hike will take you to this village.

Bryce Canyon #72
Bryce Canyon National Park is located only a couple of hours by road from Zion National Park, making it relatively easy to explore both parks during a vacation.

Always check the weather forecast before hiking into Buckskin Gulch. This slot canyon can be deadly due to flash floods after a rain.
