I grew up on the American east coast and in many ways, didn't have much appreciation for the natural environment until my first trip across North America, in 1976. Twenty years later, I'm deeply in love with the mountains and the seashores of the west coast where I first made my home in 1979 and hope to return again soon. If you share my love of nature, these sites should help to inspire that love to be even stronger. If you like these, be sure to visit my favorite places sites, also in this room.
