From Ohio to the Swiss Alps in Five Days (Part 2) by Dominic Mastruserio

Next, what on earth were we going to do here? Skiing? Paragliding? Hiking? Yodeling? All of the above? And if, I did in fact, want to find a nice place to get Lederhosen and an Alphorn and then trek to a scenic location to let out a good jodel, where would be the best place to do that?

As a plan C, we could always go to Memphis and hit up the Rendezvous. And that’s exactly the way I thought, until I ended up in Yosemite on “Free Park Day” two years in a row.

Hiking to Papakolea Beach (Hawaii's Green Sand Beach) by Dominic Mastruserio

Certainly you’ve heard of white sand beaches and black sand beaches, maybe you’re vaguely familiar with pink sand beaches, but if you’re anything like me you probably never knew a green sand beach existed (there are only four on the planet, so I don’t blame you)! Indeed, 3 miles from any paved road on the Big Island of Hawaii sits a hidden gem, Papakōlea Beach.
