I’m sorry for this lousy photo, but this was by far my favorite exhibit at the Berlin Zoo. It was called Eagle Canyon and it was nothing remotely like a canyon (the tunnel is a tower?). It was a wonderfully messy fake mountain constructed out of real stones atop which mountain goats skirted dangerously on the edges of little cliffs. The critters were very active and I watched them for a long time. If you look close at the photo, you can see 4-5 of em. The exhibit also had a path over the mountain for humans to traverse with a fake little chalet and a place where the mountain goats crossed below. Eagle Canyon was tucked in the middle of the zoo and hardly anybody visited it, a hidden gem!

People complain about the over-crowding and deadly trek to the top of Mount Everest. . . . Obviously they never visited the highest spot in Thailand.
The most photographed falls in Florida…

Numerous dangers await the mountain climber attempting to scale Disney’s Matterhorn, including electrocution.
So, I drive across Northern Arizona to Disneyland so I can ride a “Cars” ride which is a theme-park attraction about riding a car across Northern Arizona? Well, at least I scored this amazing photo of a concrete red-rock formation. Oh and bonus points. Space Mountain is hiding in the bottom right corner!
