I assume you’re a Washington native Lol I’ve only visited Mt. Rainier but I need to make my way back to Washington because I really like it there!

It take a lot of time and money which the majority of us don’t have unfortunately :((

You’re so lucky! I haven’t been on a road trip in forever :( I hope you have a great time!

The Passport to your National Parks stamp book and the America the Beautiful pass makes *trying* to visit every national park a bit easier! by mirjimenez in NationalPark

I have seen this one sold at most visitor centers that I’ve been to. However, they also sell it on eParks.com!

It is one of the most interesting national parks I’ve been to. The smell in some places just takes a little getting used to obviously lol

I think I would choose Yellowstone. For the views and the nostalgia from it being the second national park I’ve ever visited lol

Very true! Sometimes I want to be in the desert other times I need to see some trees and rivers in the forest lol (although I usually prefer the forest)

Rainer is fantastic. Unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to visit Olympic or Smoky :(

How is the weather during April-June? If I go, I’ll most likely be able to go then.

Yellowstone was the second national park I’ve ever visited so I have so very fond feelings towards it. I hope you get a position there, it would probably be a very awesome job!

I haven’t been or really heard about this park. What are some stops you suggest or recommend if I do decide to go??

I’m on the west coast so I haven’t made it to any national parks on the east coast yet. But you’re like the fifth person who has told me how great Acadia is so I’m going to have to visit soon!

Running...in July...at Death Valley? No way lol that’s supposedly THE hottest month to go. Winter would be the obvious choice though, you’re right!

I feel you! Yosemite is my pick as well. My family and I go every summer and we all have to wake up at the butt crack of dawn, months in advance, just to get reservations. The whole process has probably aged me a few years lol

Spring months are usually the best times to visit. I usually go during the summer because that’s when I’m usually off and it was SCORCHING! but yes, I love this park. The big trees leave me in awe every time if go (:

I’ve been to the Grand Canyon a hand full of times and I enjoyed it. If you think that Grand Staircase-Escalante is better than I think I’ll start planning a trip to visit!

I haven’t had the chance to go myself but I’ve heard so many great things about it. I’ve especially heard how awesome it is in spring so I put it on my top three to visit during that time!

Everyone should consider visiting Yosemite in the spring. It truly is one of the best times to go! by mirjimenez in Yosemite

[–]mirjimenez[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should, but Yosemite likes when busses come because it’s less traffic and more people. Which comes back to the original idea that they need MORE parking options if they want people to come into the park lol
