Devils Tower.
Yellowstone hot springs.
Mount Rainier. Unbelievably spectacular. My friend Dave Heikes and I hiked for a few miles in the upper elevations as well as in the valley below, where our camp site was.
Mount Saint Helens. Still smokin'. I hiked for a mile or so in the desolate landscape on the eastern side, and became rather disoriented from the lack of any trees or even plants to serve as guide posts.
Crater Lake. I rode my bicycle all the way around it, a distance of about 38 miles. At an altitude of over 8,000 feet, the air was thin, putting my respiratory capacity to a severe test.
SanFrancisco. The view from the top of famous zig-zag Lombard Street. From left to right in the background: Coit Tower, the Bay Bridge (damaged in the earthquake two years later), and the Transamerica pyramid tower.
Colorado National Monument. Near the city of Grand Junction.
Mesa Verde National Monument, 1990. Thanks to Ranger Tom for the private guided tour! 
Rocky Mountain National Park waterfall, July 1992.
