Visit all the National Parks

I visited North Cascades National Park for the first time in September. I did two different hikes while I was there: Thorton Lakes (without the Trapper’s Peak hike, as it was cloudy the morning we were in), and Sahale Arm. Both were beautiful. Sahale was considerably more strenuous than Thorton, especially in poor weather.
Would definitely go back and spend a lot more time in this park, the weather was very tolerable and there was a lot to see. People we met in the park on our hikes were also really interesting and friendly.

Total now at 16.

I just got back from a major road trip. I visited the following parks:

Yellowstone
Wind Cave
Mount Rushmore
Devil’s Tower
Grand Teton
Badlands
Rocky Mountain

It was an amazing trip! Wish we could have spent more time in each place but at least I got there and I plan to make it back to a few of these for some major hikes.

We just hit Redwoods National Park in Northern California last week. =D

Might squeeze in John Day in September. We’ll see!

We spent a week in Acadia National Park in Maine in early June. It was great!

I am currently based in New York for work and I want to see all National Parks!! Maybe we can team up, I have quite a long way to go!
