Hello!
I am planning a road trip in May driving from Albuquerque, NM to Seattle, WA and am planning on wrapping around the Southwest + up the coast to see some National Parks.
Last summer I did Rocky Mountain > Tetons > Yellowstone > Glacier > Rainer - excited for some new views!
Listing my potential options (note: not planning to hit all of them, will have ~10 days total), would love to hear:
which ones are a MUST versus might be better to skip
any favorite hikes at the must places
any additional ideas/adventures!
Typically prefer 5-10 mile hikes but have done longer. Especially love water, unique views. I am nervous about heights… so maybe not Angel Landing for example. Will be staying in WA for a bit so saving Olympic, etc. when I’m up there.
Options I am currently considering:
Grand Canyon
Zion
Joshua Tree
Sequoia
Yosemite
Redwood
Crater Lake
Thank you so much in advance!! Always love hearing for other people’s experiences!
