 | | Adventure Sports in the Himalayas | | by India, Oct 21, 2008 | | There are four Himalayan ranges in Uttaranchal, lying one behind the other. As the Himalayas rose, they formed three successive levels; the lower Himalayas, the Higher Himalayas, the Tethys Himalayas, and the roaring snow-melt rivers that tumbled off these mountains carried down enormous quantities of soil, rocks, and gravel. All this was spread a little to the south of the Lower Himalayas. More tectonic upheavals raised these riverine deposits into the lowest range of mountains, the Siwaliks. In these four successive ranges lie some of the largest areas under ice and snow after the polar regions; the world’s most extensive network of white water rivers and most attractive treks. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 7 |

 | | Head for the Hills, the Economy is Crashing | | by catkima, Sep 28, 2008 | | High Gas Prices, slowed credit and price increases in everything have altered the way Americans live and travel. Instead of getting on an airplane, get in your car and head out to destinations closer to home and still have the time of your life. There are back roads full of ghost towns, local and regional history, and outdoor recreation begging you to come and explore. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 1 |
