Dan McCaslin: Return to the Outdoors Leads to Easy Hike at Ellwood Bluffs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I visited the Ellwood Bluffs (aka Santa Barbara Shores Park) almost a year ago, in late September 2025. I kept returning to these intensely beautiful cliffs above the sea at that time since my partner of 58 years had broken both her ankles at a yoga retreat (yes), and we couldn’t maneuver a wheelchair about in our since-renovated Westside bungalow. One of Santa Barbara’s greatest allures is the nearby availability of enticing nature preserves and gorgeous parks — these aren’t those “savage wilde
Dan McCaslin: Searching for ‘Savage Landscapes’ in Local Wilderness Areas (opens the original)

Read excerpt
Most American citizens do not recognize this American Empire we inhabit, but if pressed, they might admit, “Well, we have some soft control and economic dominance, but it’s not really like an empire.” These folks shy away from any admission that the USA and the West run the world, that we do possess a global empire. At the same time, one of America’s greatest strengths resides in our remaining (vast) wilderness areas (Cole quotation, below). When reviewing Jonah Goldberg’s 2018 book “Suicide of
