I’ve visited dozens of places where I look back at the photos and think, “Dude, did I really go there?” Photos are a tangible reminder that yes, I was there, and yes, it did look unbelievably scenic. Here are 10 of my favorites that I took with my own hand (well, a camera was involved too, but you know what I mean). Disclaimer: I spent three weeks in Utah when I took a trip out west, hence the profusion of photos from that state. I also didn’t have a very good camera when I was in Colorado, so none of the shots made the cut. Poor Colorado. I need to return to take some good photos sometime.

Angels Landing, Zion National Park, Utah. The near-death experience was worth the view. |
 |
Columbia Gorge, as seen from the Oregon side. Hands-down one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. |
 |
More Utah (Salt Lake City area). In the three weeks I was there, I never got tired of looking at these snowy wonders. |
 |
New Bern, North Carolina. I love the feel of the river and the town. |
 |
Ship Peak, Orcas Island, Washington. If you ever get a chance, go to the San Juan Islands. Trust me. |
 |
More Washington! (Puget Sound, Seattle) Check out those Northwestern clouds. |
 |
Somewhere near(ish) Rock Springs, Wyoming. The stark beauty unnerves me even now. |
 |
The Seven Sisters, San Luis Obispo, California. This range of dormant volcanoes stretches out to the Pacific. |
 |
Flaming Gorge, Utah. It's positively GORGEous. (I can now longer call myself a serious writer.) |
 |
Grand Canyon, Arizona. Because no set of scenic photos is complete without one like this. |
