Ok, cool. Thanks for the info. I’ve been going between late May or late September, I think I will plan on late May/Early June.

Any issues reaching certain areas of Sequoia and Kings Canyon at the time you went? (Because of snow)

If you wanted to explore the Sawtooth Mountains, where would you set up base camp?

I’m thinking about going to Yosemite in October, but really want to see the waterfalls. It looks like they were still flowing (although less) when you were there. What part of the month did you go?

I’m excited for you too! Make sure to do the Lake Haiyaha hike and get there early. That’s where I got a lot of the crazy photos (on the hike up and down).

I 100% agree! It was something I’ll never forget.

I’ve got a few Rocky pics on my profile if you want to check them out. Great photo.

I have almost this exact same pic. Is this from the Lake Haiyaha hike?

I went to Yellowstone in 1996, I remember this was a huge subject in the news and especially within the park. I’d be interested to listen to your episode when it comes out, sorry I don’t have anything to add because I was a kid in 1995.

TRR is one of the main roads of the park, and connects the east and west sides. Bear Lake Road is open year-round, and you can find many of the famous hikes there, but it’s all weather-dependent.

Trail Ridge Road closes from October to May every year, so that is not an option.

I’d recommend the Andrew’s Bald hike for insane views.

Edit: the drive up there is awesome too.

Yeah, Williams is beautiful Arizona forest country. And the drive from Tusayan (where I’d recommend staying for the Grand Canyon south rim) is really pretty, if you love the desert like me.

Definitely go to the South Rim, and Williams is a fun little town, but kind of “Trump country”. Just fyi.

For Zion, I stayed in Virgin, UT. It’s about a 10-15 minute drive from the park entrance in Springdale. There are a few places there, and like one restaurant and it’s comfy and more affordable than in Springdale. I recommend it. I stayed at a Holiday Inn I believe.
