"I always spend a few hours (or days) scoping out potential campsites on Google Earth before hitting the road. I'm a major sucker for trailblazing and sharing something fresher than recycled vistas.
This spot in the shadow of snowy Mt. Whitney did not disappoint. Although it would be difficult to get a bad site in Alabama Hills - a rock climber's utopia - we lucked out and it was empty when we arrived because it's off the beaten path."

Desert Showers
The Slot Canyon at Anza-Borrego State Park was an optimal campspot for viewing the Perseids Meteor shower.
Second Beach Sunset
Beach camping in Olympic National Park – if you’ve done it, then you already know. If you haven’t, then picture yourself soaking up that brilliant sunset and you’ll be heading to the PNW in no time.
Surf Coast Camping
Responsible folks, like Vic and his friend, prove that the best north Oregon coast campspots are those that you have to find and make yourself.
