Posted on December 14, 2015 by bestregardsfromfar

If Mérida is famous for its colourful painted façades, many of them were painted quite a while ago…

It’s not always about standing out, sometimes blending in can be good. Taking in the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon where the snow has just melted. • • • #travelgram #xputah #utah #usa #roadtrip #brycecanyon #brycenationalpark #earthpix #wanderlust #explore #chameleon #travel #travelforreal #travelwriter #wearetravelgirls #utahoutdoors #traveletting #outdoors #viewpoint #contemplative #followme

Mountains are there to be conquered. No matter how high, tough, steep, slippery or rocky. Where there is a will, there is a way... • • • In this photo, overlooking Zion NP (photos of the view will follow soon so hit that follow button 🤗), we left the crowds behind, pushing further than the view that was supposed to be good enough. What the toughest mountain you have ever climbed? • • • #travelgram #zionnationalpark #mountains #mountainspirit #eindevandewereld #hiking #hikingadventures #explore #conqueryourmind #travelforreal #travel #travelblogger #travelphotography #blueskies #followme #followus #adventure #beautifulview #utahgram #xputah #outdoors #climbinggirls

Have you ever wondered what the vineyards where some of the best Californian wines come from look like? Well, like this! ⬆️😍 We visited the fertile Salinas Valley where the flat agricultural land merges with the rolling hills where some of the best grapes of the country are grown. The welcoming chill morning fog and breeze from nearby Monterey Bay are followed by warm afternoons when farmlands are bathed in the sun. Ideal for the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir! 🍇 • Quieter than the Sonoma and Napa Valley, we found the Saint Lucia Highlands the perfect location for a romantic weekend getaway. 🥰 • Curious? Check our website for the full article (type wine in the search field of www.BestRegardsFromFar.com) • Thank you @behindthesceneswinetours for your excellent guiding through the vineyards and for having us discover the fantastic wines🍷made in your wonderful valley! • • • #travelgram #winetasting #winery #winetime #winecountry #wine #winestagram #winelover #wineoclock #winetour #travel #travelforreal #exploring #vineyard #earthpix #trees #salinascalifornia #california #roadtrip #contrast #landscapephotography #usa

How many otters do you count here?! We were so fortunate to spot these super cute otters along the shore of Big Sur, California. Did you know that they love wrapping themselves in the kelp forest so that they can chill out without drifting away? If you take a close look at the photo you will see a baby otter resting its head on the chest of its mother (left). The babies are buoyant but can’t swim yet and are dependent on their mothers for six months. • Have you ever seen otters in the wild? • • • #bigsur #california #monterey #pacificcoasthighway #travel #travelgram #travelforreal #wanderlust #animals #animalphotos #animalphotography #animalsofinstagram #discovertheworld #otter #ottersofinstragram #cute #wildlife #otterlife #instaotter #roadtrip #nature #love

Just been back at the hotel! Yes we are tired after 4 days on the river, and really happy to have a good bed and warm shower! But we are so excited about this rafting adventure that was so inspirational that we are already looking at our photos and writing our article about it for the e-magazine Beyond Boundaries by Xtreme Adventures. The class V rapids of Cataract Canyon, the rainy nights, the sheer exposure to the forces of nature, the yummy dinners, the hikes up to take in the canyon of the Colorado River, the hearty breakfasts, the good times sharing stories at camp, the good friends we have made, the awesome guides we’ve had... So many memories! Thank you Western River Expeditions - this was really an adventure of a lifetime perfectly orchestrated by your excellent and passionate guides! Hope to be back for some more!!

Just landed our raft in Hite, Lake Powell. We completed the 100 miles down the Colorado River from our starting point 4 days ago in Potash close to Moab, UT. What an adventure from start to finish! Ending in style flying over the remote and rugged Canyonlands National Park looking back at what we have conquered on the water. In this photos you see the famous confluence: the merging of the Green River with the Colorado River. From this point on the flow rates add up almost doubling and creating the class III to V rapids of the Cataract Canyon. Such splendor from the sky! • • • #westernriverexpeditions #colorado #confluence #river #travelgram #moab #xputah #usa #natgeoyourshot #canyonlandsnationalpark #earth #earthfromabove #birdseyeview #view #naturephotography #earthawesome #awesomeearthpix #utahgram #airphotography #bestviewever #landscapephotography #travel #explore #adventure #naturephotography #picoftheday • Thank you @westernriverexpeditions and @adventures_with_redtail_air for this awesome experience!

OMG!!! What a day!! 😱 No comments - this photo sums it all up. For the caption: class IV rapids on the Cataract Canyon. After non-stop rainfalls during the night, a wet and cold start (thanks dear guides at Western River Expeditions for this hearty breakfast and divine hot coffee & chocolate!), and being soaked in the rapids, we had a terrible rain and hail storm! Third camp in the muddy Carl’s camp pitching in the rain! What an expedition that these weather conditions are making so extreme. The sun seems to be piercing through and the steaks are being grilled - looking forward to warming... Already 85 miles down the river - 15 more miles to go. Very limited connection down the canyon - already happy to be able to upload one photo here. There will be a full photo report on our Facebook page in a few days - please like our page www.facebook.com/bestregardsfrom to follow this adventure of a lifetime! • • • #travelgram #outdoors #moab #utah #xputah #westernriverexpeditions #rafting #coloradoriver #adventure #usa #whitewaterrafting #rural #outbound #river #travel #nature #cataractcanyon #canyonlands #visitutah #wanderlust #rivertrip #travelblogger #outdooradventuremode #photography #getoutside #explore #yesvisitutah #adrenalinejunkie #omg

After a cold night, our lovely guides are making pancakes for breakfast from the outdoor kitchen with a view in the morning of Day 2 😍 Taking some strength was useful as got wet already! It’s not the rapids but the rain that got us! We are in the middle of the desert and having so much rain is so unexpected - but it makes the blooming of the flowers stunning. 🤗 Days on the river float by and our guides at Western River Expeditions take us on side hikes that are hardly accessible any other way to explore the Cataract Canyon deeper from millenium old ruins to stunning viewpoints. We got lucky so far and could go between two cold showers. 💪🏼🌧 All good on the raft for the first 10 rapids, a warm up for tomorrow’s class III to V. 😱 It’s quite nice to have a motorized raft given the distances and currents. Second camp in the rain @ XY already 58 miles down the river - 42 more miles to go. The yummy food and good company keep our spirits high and keep us warm at night. Very limited connection down the canyon - already happy to be able to upload one photo here.

Yes the water is cold but so far we haven’t gotten that wet. This will change soon... and maybe even sooner than expected as the clouds are threatening. Stunning views while getting used to the raft and getting to know our fellow companions and our awesome guides at Western River Expeditions - Steve, Lauren, Stu & Derrek. First camp @ Pumpkin already 25 miles down the river - 75 more miles to go. • • • #whitewaterrafting #rural #potashboatramp #outbound #wouldyoudare #river #rafting #coloradoriver #adrenalinejunkie #westernriverexpeditions #outdoors #adventuretime #travel #travelwriter #wearetravelgirls #nature #rafting #cataractcanyon #canyonlands #visitutah #xputah #shetravels #rivertrip #travelblogger #travelgram
