Experience New Orleans

New Orleans is a special place. NOLA's Nightlife, Festivals, Dining, Entertainment, Music, Art and Culture, Architecture, Unique Attractions, Romantic Getaways, Gaming and Shopping opportunities are unlike any other.

You could easily spend a month or more in 'The Big Easy' and still discover something new everyday. Flush with museums, historical sites and art galleries, you could spend a couple of weeks here bouncing around between the best things to do. The city is home to a world-class zoo and aquarium. There's an entire warehouse dedicated to Mardi Gras props and then there are dozens of cemeteries which are so old and full of stories that they've become attractions in their own right. When it comes to simply having a good time, the nightlife of New Orleans is second to none. There are dozens of clubs where you can drink and dance until dawn to some of the country's top musicians. There are also dozens of festivals where residents devote entire weekends to celebrating everything from Creole tomatoes to Louis 'Satchmo' Armstrong. Most of the best things to do in New Orleans are located in the downtown or Uptown area making it easy to take in many in one day.

And you can walk, especially in the Garden District. Visitors say some of their most memorable moments come just strolling down Decatur Street in the French Quarter, hanging out at a streetcar stop or waiting for a table at a restaurant.

Elephant Feet Rocks Arizona

If Arizona travelers were not already acquainted with some of the world's most recognized striking rock formations, these two lone Elephant Feet would be a big surprise. This roadside oddity stands near the town of Tonalea in Coconino County just outside Tuba City on Route 160.


The two pillars that look like great big elephant feet are the remains of eroded, Middle Jurassic Entrada Sandstone. They are just one of hundreds of unusual and distinct rock art features located within the Navajo Nation. They look so much like elephant feet that you don't even have to squint your eyes or tilt your head to get the picture. The fact that the pillars are grayish white and brownish red instead of gray does not affect the illusion. Nor does the fact that they're about 20 feet tall make any difference. Who knows how big them desert-stompers were billions of years ago?

The Spindle - Valley Of The Gods

Tucked away in southeatern Utah just north of Navajo Nation and Monument Valley is a little gem - Valley of the Gods. Some say there are gods in the rocks! I'm not sure but Valley of the Gods is quite beautiful.

The legend is that those rock formations are places of power where the spirits reside and those in Valley of the Gods are some of the most distinctive. These imposing monoliths are Navajo Warriors frozen in Stone who can be appealed to for protection. They are guardians whose power and strength aid young serviceman going to war.

Ecologist and naturalist Terry Tempest Williams eloquently captured Valley of the Gods landscape�s sweeping grandeur thusly: "It is a landscape so startling, so fragile and enduring. At once, it can bring one to their knees in humility and awe." It does more than that. It leaves the body numb, purges it and refills it all at once with a new Life clean and pure, and real.

Valley Of The Gods - A Oasis For The Soul

Valley of the Gods, a beautiful sandstone valley, is located north of Monument Valley and near Mexican Hat in southeastern Utah.

The views across the valley floor, beautiful Cedar Mesa sandstone monoliths, pinnacles and other geological features of this enchanted and magical area, framed in by the silhouettes of the nearby Monument Valley are breathtaking. This is so reachable, so touchable with dirt roads to get closer to those majestic monuments, those work of Art. There is a transformation that takes place here, seems like Life has again slowed down and one can get into the deeper part of Life itself, there is nothing but vast empty spaces, there is undisturbed Peace inducing an incredible detachment from what one has been programmed to live through as nothing besides the monuments seemed to have changed throughout those millions of years of existence.

Like the Valley of Fire in Nevada or Snow Canyon in Utah, the Valley of the Gods is an unforgettable side trip through an incomparable land. Someone described it as "Monument Valley writ small." But it is much more than that. The Valley of the Gods is a cameo of the American West.

Walking In The Valley Of The Gods

Do you worship nature? If you do believe that nature needs to be dominate, I have the alter for you to pray at.

Valley of the Gods in Utah is north of the better known Monument Valley near the little town of Mexican Hat. Drive right up to these stunting rock structures. The road to the Valley is harder to find than most others. The rock structures are more noticeable than the signs. The graded road is between the Utah Route 261 and US Route 163.

North America is blessed with an abundance of beautiful scenery, one of them is the Valle of the Gods. What an amazing place!

Spectacular Valley Of The Gods

The Valley of the Gods in southeastern Utah is a smaller scale version of Monument Valley, with huge isolated red sandstone rocks standing above the level desert floor, remnants of an ancient sandstone plateau of sandstone that covered the area 50 million years ago.

The 17-mile dirt road drive begins among buttes and pinnacles, then wends through strange and alien formations, twists through high mesa canyons, and ends up descending to the valley floor and following the dust dry Lime Creek arroyo to route 183. Water, wind and ice have sculpted the shapes that the Navajo believe are living spirits.

The Valley of the Gods sits on BLM land. It is an extraordinary place to experience the beauty of Southern Utah without all the restrictions and regulations of National Park Land.

Valley Of The Gods

Many people have seen Monument Valley, the vast, iconic desert on the Arizona-Utah border that's gorgeously interrupted by colossal sandstone monoliths, like bulky ships sailing an ocean of sand. Most often they've seen it in the context of a Hollywood shoot-'em-up with cowboys like John Wayne twirling six-shooters and dodging arrows. But few people know that 40 miles up the road there is another monumental valley - a geological "mini-Monument Valley," known as the Valley of the Gods. A quarter the size of its famed neighbor, it has dozens of equally spectacular sandstone sculptures and spires, but on a smaller scale. What they lack in size, they make up for in brilliant color and variety. And best of all, you're unlikely to see a single tourist bus here.

Dusted with fine red dirt and punctuated with silver-green brush, the valley lies at the base of a 1,200-foot bluff called Cedar Mesa that was formed when a sea invaded from the northwest 250 million years ago. The area's jagged towers, gravelly washes, and tortured sandstone formations line Valley of the Gods Road, a 17-mile dirt route that links Highways 163 and 261, forming a scenic loop. Each bend in the road reveals a surprise, a slightly different shade of red or a new rock contortion, many of which are described in Navajo legend as ancient warriors frozen in time.

There are places to pull over and hike, have a picnic, or, if you're so inclined, do some bouldering. But don't expect restrooms or a snack bar.
