Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles has been my go-to place past 15 years. Whenever we had a long weekend and did not have a plan to travel other states or countries, we would road trip to LA ( since it was few hours drive). Among many places in LA like Disneyland, Universal studios, Warner's Brothers studio and many more Landmarks, Hollywood Boulevard is one of my favorite downtown spot I often go every time I visit LA. Its a 4-5 miles long stretch in Los Angeles starting from Highland Avenue to Orange Drive with the following attraction -  Museums like - Madame Tussauds Hollywood Wax Museum featuring replicas of famous celebrities. ( will upload the link here once I finish writing the article) Landmarks like - TCL Chinese Theatre formerly known as the Grauman's Chinese Theatre ( the exterior is designed in the Chinese Style) Dolby Theatre formerly known as the Kodak Theatre Hollywood Pacific Theatre Grauman's Egyptian Theatre ( the exterior of the theater

Yosemite National Park , a natural beauty carved by glaciers and waterfalls was delegated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984. I have been to this captivating place many times to see the ethereal sight of the waterfall and an undisturbed meadows surrounded. Yosemite National Park is 160 miles from San Jose and around 170 miles from San Francisco.  It is a beautiful place to explore and I would never risk going to Yosemite during holidays or long weekends because of the place getting crowded with so many people hiking or running around everywhere and would definitely miss the scenic beauty of the falls. Below are "Some" of the attractions in this park for visitors to visit -  Glacier Point (a viewpoint)  Tunnel View (a picturesque viewpoint on State Route 41)  Half Dome (a granite dome at the east end of Yosemite Valley)  El Capitan (a vertical rock formation at the north side of Yosemite Valley)  Bridalveil Fall (a 617 ft. waterfall with Ostrand

Gorge Creek Falls Trail, Rockport, Washington

Gorge Creek Falls Trail is a 1/2 mile loop trail located near Rockport along the North Cascades Highway 20 to pull off to take rest, stretch your legs and give kids/adults a restroom break. This place features the view of a beautiful waterfall once you reach the end of the trail by walking thru the mystical path of giant trees with overlook of the river and information plaques. It was surreal. It took us may be a quick 20 mins stop @ this trail for small walk, enjoying the majestic views of mountains/river and bird watching.  Ps: Definitely no entrance fee to this trail. Ample parking available. The waterfall was not that big compared to Multnomah Falls  - Oregon ( https://sk-digilance.blogspot.com/2021/06/multnomah-falls-oregon-usa.html )  or Yosemite Falls  - California ( Will upload the link soon ), but still worth a visit!  When I visited North Cascades ( https://sk-digilance.blogspot.com/2021/08/north-cascades-nation
