And this wasn't on the highway, but on somnolent, tranquil-looking small city roads and throughways. more on Epinions.com

Being an amature photographer, as we proceded from the main parking lot upward into the Glen, each step and bend presented magnificent scenes and photographic challenges. more on Yahoo! Travel
