Travel
California By
Matt Kettmann Sept/Oct 2004
If the weather's right-and you're lucky enough
to have an uncle with a small plane-a flight
into the Chester Airfield in northern Plumas
County reveals not only Mount Lassen, but also
its bigger volcanic sister, the towering Mount
Shasta, about a hundred miles north. Lake Almanor
and the pine-covered mountaintops of the southern
end of the Cascade Range complete this unforgettable
aerial view of this corner of Northern California.
Making
Connections in Wyoming By
Cathy Orr May/June 2004
It takes but one trip West to reap a tradition—and
what better states in which to start than Wyoming,
Montana, and Colorado? I first saw Eaton’s
Guest Ranch two summers ago, but this is my
first chance to stay the night. I’m hurrying
to get there before dark. Small
herds of deer—shadowy images with eyes—graze
in the grassy fields along the road. From Sheridan,
the Bighorn Mountain foothills could be my
backyard, but mountains always look closer
than they really are.
Arizona
Christmas By
Lois Anne Naylor Nov/Dec 2001
Rising out of the Mojave-Sonoran desert
like a ghost town, Stagecoach Trails is the
place to go if you want to have a sun-filled,
family-style cowboy Christmas at a ranch that
will welcome you like family. The northwestern
Arizona dude ranch offers a treasure-trove
of holiday riding adventures for everyone from
experienced equestrians to those who normally
navigate in wheelchairs.
Land
of Opportunity By
Ann Terry Hill July/Aug 2002
Oregon
continues to open doors for those on a quest
to fulfill dreams in the West. It is a place
whose name reached early, eastern Americans
like an echo of a faraway splendor. The Oregon
Country was that place that people only heard
about, a place known only to fur trappers and
mountain men, themselves almost mythical figures
in their own day. The Lewis and Clark Expedition
(1804-1806) to the Oregon Country brought fact
to the legend and carried news of the land’s
settlement potential to those living in the
East and in other parts.
Travel
Utah By
Barb Henderson Sept/Oct 2004
Our
adventurous journey took us to the small South-Central
Utah town of Loa, about 30 miles from scenic
Capitol Reef National Park and a destination
where ranching remains a way of life, and good
hometown hospitality awaits the tourists traveling
to the park. Folks
who drive won't believe the breathtaking scenery:
beautiful red rock formations, spectacular
canyons, meadows where wildflowers dot the
landscape, and a colorful forest.
