National Park Series 5: Grand Teton and Yellowstone


Mammoth Hot Springs
Yellowstone is a mountain wild land, home to grizzly bears, bison, elks and wolves. It is the core of one of the last natural ecosystems in the Earth’s temperate zone and famous for remarkable geysers.

Dubbed ‘the mountains of the imagination", Grand Teton offers a beautiful landscape where visitors can explore over two hundred miles of trails, float the Snake River and enjoy its serenity.

While millions of visitors go to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks to climb, hike, kayak, fish and see the wildlife, the American wilderness and the kind of mythic landscape that Norman MacLean had in mind when he wrote "Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it," attract many photographers.

These postcards come to Green Caviar Travel blog from my friend, Sherry Mullins – a very talented photographer.

#3 Old Faithful (Yellowstone National Park)
Old Faithful erupts more frequently than any of the other big geysers, although it is not the largest or most regular geyser. Its eruption vary from every 44-125 minutes and lasts 1 1/2 to 5 minutes. It expels boiling water that reaches a height of 106-184 ft.


#4 Beehive Geyser
The favorite performer in the geyser basin and can be seen and/or photographed a short distance from Old Faithful. It is irregular and typically erupts once or twice daily and lasts 4-5 minutes. It projects a powerful water column to a height of 150-200 feet (higher than Old Faithful)

The Banaue Rice Terraces: A Living Cultural Landscape

Image
My interest in exploring the northern part of the Philippines started from looking at a piece of art at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, California.   Among the display of ceramics and pottery engraved with gold and other decorative stuff,  a wooden carving of a male figure squatting on a platform with the lower arms on top of each other, resting upon his knees, caught my eye.  According to the docent, the wooden sculpture was called "Bului" which literally means "granary guardian" in the "Ifugao" tribe dialect. The carved wooden sculpture was set on a platform on top of another platform, a mortar.   Our docent explained the significance of the wooden mortar (which was used with the pestle, to separate the husk from the rice, sort of rice mill) and linked the story to the Rice Terraces in the Cordillera Mountains of the Philippines built 2000 years ago by the “Ifugao” tribe. So two years and three hundred kilometers north of Manila later, we explo...

Transylvania, Romania: The Land of Dracula

Image
When we hear the place Transylvania, we almost always think about Dracula, the bloody vampire, that always makes a good Halloween story. So, when I visited Transylvania early this year, it's hard not to associate the places, like the Bran Castle to the famous novel "Dracula" by Bram Stoker.  It’s said that Bram Stoker’s inspiration for the Dracula was a historical character Vlad Tepes or Vlad III, the ruler of Wallachia in the 15th century. During Stoker’s research on the region of Transylvania, he came across the brutal accounts of the atrocities committed by Vlad III, also known as Vlad Dracul, aka Vlad the Impaler. He was known for committing brutal acts of war and was under constant threat of attack from the Ottoman and Hungarian forces. During his infamous retreat from the Ottoman forces, Vlad the Impaler had the bodies of his enemies and his people alike impaled on large spikes in the field surrounding his county.   The inspiration for the made-up character ma...

Poland: The Wieliczka Salt Mine

Image
One of the most spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Sites I visited this year was the Wieliczka Salt Mine near Krakow, Poland. It was founded in the 13th century to mine the rich deposit of salt. Salt mining stopped in 1996 when the low price of salt on the world market made it too expensive to mine and the mine was slowly flooding. But miners did more than just extract salt. They left behind them a breathtaking record of their time underground in the shape of statues of mythical, historical and religious figures.  Part of the salt mine became an art gallery, chapels, cathedral, and underground lakes. Today, Wieliczka Salt Mine is one of the most visited National Monuments in Poland. For safety reason, less than one percent of the mine is open to visitors, but even that is almost four kilometers in length. There are 20 chambers to visit and 800 steps to climb of which 350 at the beginning take you down into the mine. You can’t just visit and wander around on your own. All of t...
