How to See Lunar Rainbows and Petroglyphs While You Travel, Map Ancient Roman Routes, and Safely Leave a Campsite
Learn more about the proper ways to clean up a campsite and campfire, and where you can see some amazing natural wonders.
Lunar rainbows, or moonbows, are a rare nighttime spectacle that can be witnessed in various locations around the world. The best places to observe these ethereal events include Cumberland Falls State Resort Park in Kentucky, Yosemite National Park in California, and Victoria Falls in Zambia-Zimbabwe. To ensure a clear view, visit the waterfalls within three days before, during, or after a full moon. Use a wide-angle lens, tripod, and remote shutter while limiting the use of flashlights and flash photography.
Petroglyphs, ancient rock carvings left behind by our ancestors, provide a glimpse into the past. Some of the world's best places to find petroglyphs include Coso Rock Art District in California, Petroglyphs Provincial Park in Ontario, Canada, Valcamonica in Italy, and Chécta, Canta Lima in Peru. When visiting these sites, remember to respect them as non-renewable cultural treasures.
Do not touch the carvings, stay on marked trails, and avoid climbing on boulders or moving rocks. Bring plenty of water, wear sun protection, and enjoy the experience responsibly.
