Tubing

All the pictures on this website were taken from locations anyone could walk to (and many of them required no walking). There is an abundance of photo worthy scenes at every turn. It is not necessary to visit one of the parks to get pristine nature shots (the above picture was taken along a bridge just north of Monte Rio).
