As I mentioned previously, I decided it was a good idea to skip some of my original route in the Northwest because of all the forest fires. My new route includes extra time spent in Colorado and Utah, and even a little stop in New Mexico.
Key destinations include:
- Badlands National Park
- Glacier National Park, Montana
- Banff National Park, Canada
- Jasper National Park, Canada
- Yellowstone National Park, Montana
- Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
- Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
- Colorado National Monument
- Goblin Valley State Park, Utah
- Arches National Park, Utah
- Canyonlands National Park, Utah
- Navajo State Park, New Mexico
- Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Colorado
- Hot Springs National Park, Arizona
- Bankhead National Forest, Alabama
- Great Smoky Mountains National Park, TN
- Shenandoah National Park, Virginia
I depart on Monday. I still have to finish reinstalling the built in bed in my vehicle (I’ll share pictures of that with you later) and packing. So far, so good…I must be getting things done because my last minute pre trip panic mode has eased off. 😉
