Way of the Day

Happy National Parks Week. Now walk a trail to one of the most extraordinary views on the planet. Two huge rivers merging. At a point where they've cut deep, sharp canyons. What you see is what you get - after 20 million years of erosion. Take a walk to a 3D geology lesson.

Happy National Parks Week. Here in Maine, USA every one of Acadia National Park's dozens of oceanside and mountainside trails is yours for the walking. Like the one to the summit of Sargent Mountain. Seven scenic miles up and back down.

A short trail through an exotic landscape to a stone arch that defies gravity. It's The Delicate Arch in Arches National Park. Less than two miles. 500 calories round trip.
