Balmorhea Springs Pool
On a recent road trip, my girlfriend and I stopped to camp at Balmorhea State Park in West Texas. We knew little about the park, only that it was on our way to New Mexico and had a funny name. Imagine our joy at finding this when we arrived - the "world's largest" spring fed swimming pool. It's almost 2 acres in size, 25 feet deep, filled with catfish and turtles and ringed by views of the Davis mountains. And the water temperature is always 74 degrees, just right for swimming on this sunny (and delightfully deserted) February day.

A Pretty Grand Canyon
Story written 27 March 2008
No American National Park packs more "wow" than the Grand Canyon. As breathtaking as it is crowded, I recently discovered that it's not too difficult to get the whole thing to yourself.
