Shame on me. In my extensive travels so far, I have only visited 10 of our 62 US National parks. 🏞 ⛰🏜
How is that possible??!!
On my current trip of a lifetime, I have the potential to hit 19 (14 new to me) so I fully intend to take advantage of the annual $80 NP pass in 2020-21. These national treasures are truly a gift. On our hikes today, my dad and I were bantering about how many of the best places we have been & the most memorable involved being in the great outdoors and didn’t cost much (if anything). So my plea to you…..
- drive a scenic overlook
- bring a picnic lunch to enjoy amongst nature
- take a hike
- snorkel or dive a watering hole
- kayak a crystal clear lake
- climb or boulder a rock face
- soak in natural hot springs
- pitch a tent on the canyon floor
- stargaze from deep in the woods
- conquer hairpin curves through a forest
- bike the backroads
- savor a sunrise at an observation point
- explore a cave
- brave rapids via a raft
- cast a line in a remote stream
- toast some marshmallows over a campfire
