17- mile drive
Why the
17-Mile Drive
is special
The 17-Mile Drive on the Monterey Peninsula in California is one of the most scenic short drives on our planet. It encompasses a variety of highlights.
Famous vistas
The Lonely Cypress
This gnarled, twisted tree sits in solitude on a rocky perch. Two centuries of strong ocean winds shaped it. The endearing Lonely Cypress has become the icon of the 17-Mile Drive and has been captured in countless paintings and photos (including the one above).
Seascape
The Lonely Cypress is but one of many photogenic scenes along the coastal part of the 17-Mile Drive. These include the blue-green ocean and the white-sand cove beaches framed by rugged rock outcroppings and gorgeous tree groves. And, there's Bird Rock teeming with birds, seals and sea lions.
Pebble Beach Golf Links
It is generally regarded as the world's most stunning golf course. The Pebble Beach links dramatically skirt the rocky shoreline. Nearby are its three celebrated sister courses: Spyglass Hill, The Links of Spanish Bay, and Poppy Hills. All have lofty green fees, but enjoying their landscaped beauty from a distance is free.
Forest homes
The road passes through quiet Del Monte Forest punctuated with luxurious villas and mansions.
Hawaiian Valconoes
The 11-mile Caldera Drive is the most popular excursion route, with the Halema'uma'u Crater Overlook its highlight. From that observation spot, your camera can simultaneously capture the crater's interior and, in the distance, mighty Mauna Loa.
Other interesting Caldera Drive stops include Thurston Lava Tube, Jagger Museum, Steaming Bluff and the viewpoint behind the Volcano House.

Why the
Alaska Cruise
is special
An Alaska Cruise sails through pristine fjords lined with glaciers and snow-capped jagged peaks - and stops at several scenic ports of call.

Grand Canyon is wonder place
"Grand" is an understatement. At its extremes, the Grand Canyon is 446 kilometers (277 miles) long, up to 29 kilometers (18 miles) wide from rim to rim, and over 1600 meters (a mile) deep.
Vastness is just one of the mind-boggling elements of the Grand Canyon that renders me nearly speechless. The setting is desolate, the contours are rugged, and the striated hues of the gorges and pinnacles are vibrant.
