| I follow Linda Greenlaw, swordfish boat captain turned lobster fisherman turned writer, up a steep incline on a narrow wooded trail. She is taking me to one of her favorite spots on the island she calls home. With each step, a low rumble grows ever louder, like an approaching locomotive. The trees fall away, and the Cliff Trail opens onto a bluff looking down to jagged fingers of rock poking into the Atlantic. Agitated by storms of the previous day, waves crash against the rocky shore. Foam careens into rocks and flies in the air; some spouts burst upward like geysers, others bend into long arcs before breaking up into droplets that plunge back into the sea. "It's almost like staring at fire," Greenlaw says. "Every wave looks just a little different." |

| Monticello is open to the public every day of the year except Christmas, but visit in the spring or fall when the flowers and trees are at their peak colors. General admission is $14, which buys you a ride up the hill in the shuttle bus and tours of the home, plantation, and gardens. During the summer months, Monticello offers special educational tours for children and their families, six times a day. |

| Thinking about visiting Mesa Verde? You can avoid a long drive up and down the mesa every day by staying inside the park. Far View Lodge and Morefield Campground are your options. |
