Panorama of a herd of American Bison grazing on the prairie of Theodore Roosevelt National Park in spring
I've visited many locations over the years, but Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, CO is still my favorite place on earth. The beautiful red rock formations, serene mountain side landscape, and abundance of wildlife make this a must visit destination.
I was actually quite surprised by the gorgeous landscape of Caprock Canyons State Park on the southern edge of the Texas panhandle. It's the third largest state park in Texas and has several hiking, biking, and equestrian trails. It's also home to the official bison herd of Texas! #texas #caprockcanyons #hiking #roadtrip

No A/C available in the room. Several guests had to settle for a portable fan. The ice machine, water fountain and lobby computer for guests were out of order. I want some type of compensation!! Never staying there again.
