Mobius Arch, Alabama Hills, California

Mobius Arch is the most famous natural arch in the Alabama Hills, near Lone Pine, California. The granite in this area is similar to that of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, but it's been chemically weathered such that it forms natural arches more readily. The are more than 100 natural arches in this small area. Because it is administered by the Bureau of Land Management, the rules aren't as strict as a national park. You can camp off the main road. You can fly a drone, as long as you don't over people. Mobius Arch is the most popular, but we'll have a video about the other arches soon. The area may be renamed to the original name that the Paiute tribe gave to this area, which is "payahu...

Does Alamere Falls produce moonbows? Point Reyes National Seashore, California .

We've photographed moonbows in Yosemite Falls in Yosemite Valley for many years now and decided to try going to Point Reyes National Seashore, forty miles north of San Francisco to see if Alamere Falls would also produce moonbows. In spite of not seeing a moonbow in Alamere Falls during this mid-summer visit, we still think this waterfall is a good candidate. We'll go back in the spring during ...

We explore the moonbow at Yosemite Falls from 3 different perspectives as predicted by Brian Hawkins at yosemitemoonbow.com. We also ad-lib to get some of the best moonbow photos we can. All of the photos and videos were taken at night, except for our introduction. We used long exposures of 20 seconds or more to capture the colors in the moonbow. Our own eyes can't see the colors, but the camer...

A couple of years ago, we found out from an online article on travelcaffeine.com that for several weeks around the winter solstice, the setting sun lines up with the opening of Keyhole Arch at Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, California. We decided to visit the arch on December 3 and 4, 2023. The first day was cloudy, so we didn't get the effect we were hoping for, but the second day was clear and su...

Bob Robinson attended the 2022 Fall Arch Rally by the Natural Arch and Bridge Society. The Day 4 hike on October 4, 2022 was to Horizon Arch to the southwest of the town of Escalante, Utah. This arch is a photogenic, free-standing arch with a span of 14 feet 8 inches (about 4.5 meters) and a height of 10 feet (about 3 meters). A second smaller opening may mean this is a double arch.

The trail is only about .2 miles (less than 400 meters) long, starting at a turnoff along the State Park Road. The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly that we video-recorded was busily feeding on the nectar of a ...

We go canoeing on Lake Manly in Death Valley National Park. We started at Badwater Basin and paddled our canoe at 280 feet below sea level. The water was fully saturated with salt making it 8 times saltier than the ocean. We ended up with salt crystals all over the canoe, paddles, and dry bags. About 4 days later, the Park Service closed the lake to boating to prevent social trails from leaving...

Thanks to a hurricane in August 2023 and wet winter storms, the salt flats at Badwater Basin in Death Valley National Park has been completely inundated in water. The depth of water was enough for The Robinson Twins and many other watercraft enthusiasts to paddle on what's been called Lake Manly, in reference to the Pleistocene Era lake that once filled Death Valley. On February 28th, 2024, Ric...
