Whale Watching

Posted on by Posted in Sightseeing .

We went whale watching from Depoe Bay, Oregon.

Depoe Bay is a 6-acre harbor that the city promotes as the world’s smallest navigable harbor.

We went out on a boat for about an hour and saw several whales. None of them were showing off and jumping out of the water. But we still had fun.

This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.

Golden Canyon – Death Valley National Park

Posted on by Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

Let’s hike the Golden Canyon in Death Valley National Park. We expected the canyon to be narrower than it was. Amber and Kaylla act very silly on the way.

We were lucky that we decided to go to Death Valley National Park in early November because it was not too hot.

This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.

Wahkeena Falls in the Columbia River Gorge

Posted on by Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

We started our day in the Columbia River Gorge planning to visit the popular Multnomah Falls and planned to visit other waterfalls in the area.

The third waterfall that we came across was Wahkeena Falls. Wahkeena Falls is a beautiful waterfall and was not too crowded. It is located along the very scenic road that runs parallel to the highway. Just a short hike uphill needed for this one.

This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.

Badwater Basin – Death Valley National Park

Posted on by Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

But it’s a dry heat.

We were lucky that we decided to go to Death Valley National Park in early November. It was just above 70 degrees at Badwater Basin which is 282 feet below seal level. The highest temperature recorded here is 134 degrees. This is the lowest point in North America.

The Salt Flats are covered with salt because all of the water has evaporated.

The second waterfall that we came across was Multnomah Falls. Multnomah Falls is a beautiful waterfall and was pretty crowded. It is located along the very scenic road that runs parallel to the highway. Just a short hike needed for this one if you want to go up to the bridge. The trail was closed on the other side of the bridge during our visit.

This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.

Redwood National and State Parks

We were looking for Fern Valley (we found it) in the Redwood National and State Parks and we found a small group of elk near the shoreline. We also found a large herd of elk near Elk Meadow.
