#10 Salt Piles at Salar de Uyuni
Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat, is one of the most distinct natural landmarks in the world. The immense plains of salt are viewable from space and are a huge attraction for tourists and photographers. After rainfall, the plains turn into an enormous reflective mirror that creates a surreal landscape. The piles of salt ready for harvest only add to the uncanny imagery.
# 9 Giant’s Causeway
The Giant’s Causeway is a huge oceanside area in Northern Ireland comprised of giant interlocking columns of basalt rock. Most of the columns are hexagonal in shape and perfectly fit together creating a surreal almost game-like environment. Scientifically speaking the columns were created by an ancient volcanic explosion, but it gains its name from the popular legend that the cliffs were built as a causeway by a giant in ancient times.
# 8 Balance Rock
In the Garden of Gods in Colorado Springs there are a plethora of beautiful red rock formations, but possibly the most iconic of these rocks is Balance Rock - a huge boulder that seems like it could fall over at any moment. It is destined to fall over eventually when erosion or another damage dislodges it from its gripping points. Go and see Balance Rock before it falls over and becomes just a normal rock.
# 7 Balancing Rock, Canada
There is another precarious rock, but this seems to be even more impossible. The Balancing Rock in Nova Scotia is believed to be standing for thousands of years. It’s about 30 feet tall and seems to be just standing straight up out of pure will.
# 6 Fly Geyser
This erupting rock is Fly Geyser, an accidental man-made geothermal geyser in Washoe County. The fountain was created in 1964 when people were exploring sources of geothermal energy and accidentally drilled into a well. The well was never capped properly and has now become a geyser that shoots water into the air, creating the ever growing rock formation around it. It looks like a weird alien structure because of thermophilic algae that thrive in the high temperatures Fly Geyser generates.
# 5 Split Apple Rock
Tokangawhā, aka Split Apple Rock, is a geological rock formation off the coast of South Island of New Zealand. It is a structure made of granite and looks almost like it was deliberately cut in half. This cleft was natural, though, with no help from any humans. What exactly could have cut this boulder in half is a mystery although theories include water creeping into the rock, freezing, and expanding to break the rock. It’s a popular spot for tourists to take the exact same photo every year.
# 4 Moeraki Boulders
The Moeraki Boulders are unusually large and spherical boulders that are spread along Koekohe Beach on the Otago coast of New Zealand. Local Maori legends explain the boulders as the remains of eel baskets from the large sailing canoe that brought Maori people to the island hundreds of years ago. These stones are usually hollow but sometimes they are filled with calcite and quartz, which makes it look very interesting when they are broken open or exposed.
# 3 Folding Rocks at Agia Pavlos
These interesting looking rocks are known commonly as the Folding Rocks. They are sedimentary limestone layers were once layered horizontally at the bottom of the sea, but tectonic plates pushed them together and forced them upwards.
# 2 Torghatten
Torghatten is a granite mountain on Torget island in Norway. As far as mountains go it looks pretty uncharacteristic and lumpy except for the giant gaping hole right in the middle of it. According to legend, the mountain hole was made by a troll who was chasing a beautiful girl. Knowing he could never catch the girl he shot an arrow at her, but the Troll King threw his hat to save her and that hat turned into the mountain. Sounds pretty legit to me.
# 1 Abandoned Russian Salt Mine
This abandoned Russian Salt Mine looks more like a scene from a trippy art house movie. The naturally occurring minerals in the abandoned mine create psychedelic patterns and structures which create unique swirls. While the naturally occurring art in these walls are beautiful, exploring the mines are not without danger. There are hazards of falling, landslides, and low visibility, but it might be worth facing to see this one of a kind place.

This favourite Nanaimo River swimming hole should be a park!
11 minute driving directions to Nanaimo River White Rapids Park (soon if we have our way) from Living Forest Oceanside Campground & RV Park:

Visit: 'Vancouver Island Best Map Best Places'
This 300+ acre property is used as the park it should be by locals- fantastic quiet river channel and crystal clear pools make it an ideal and safe place to swim. The Nanaimo River starts it's journey to the sea (it joins the ocean at Living Forest!) by going through four lakes, which makes it the warmest river on Vancouver Island.
The property is still under timber lease to a logging company who has logged much of it in the past, but it sits dormant at the moment. What a great opportunity to buy out the timber lease and obtain protected forever park status!
Please share, and even better, visit this special place! Park it in Nanaimo!
A Visit to Slide Rock Park Near Sedona, Arizona
Watch HD clips from Slide Rock Park, named after the famous Slide Rock, a stretch of slippery creek bottom including a natural water chute. Filmed on a balmy Arizona day in April 2013, this video shows the chute as well as deeper pool areas where swimmers can jump off short cliffs into the water. The water temperature the day this was filmed was a chilly 52F, but that didn't stop most vacationers have jumping in and having fun.

MONUMENT VALLEY | SCENIC DRIVE & SUNRISE (RV AMERICA)
RVing the Southwest has been every bit has breathtaking as we imagined. When you think of the Southwest, Monument Valley likely what comes to mind. In this episode, we stay at Gouldings RV Park just minuets from the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. If you have a National Park Pass, it won’t work here. We paid $20 for our vehicle and it was a 3 day pass, which was perfect to drive the 17 mile “Valley Drive” and we come back to hike the Wildcat trail the next day. We also woke up early to catch the sunrise at “The View” which is the hotel overlooking the park. During the season, you can dry camp at The View RV Park.
Long Point Reflection - Shore Diving Marineland, a.k.a The Terranae Resort.
September 2012. Diving Marineland with Frank Lukowski. Video recorded and edited by me, Charles Bartleson. Shot on a GoPro Hero2 with the dive housing mounted to the top of my dive light.
Marineland is home. This site is where Frank and I learned how to dive, and just happens to be one of the best shore diving sites in Southern California.
