The first of five National Parks we visited in Utah. We hiked up to Observation Point and Angels Landing for spectacular views of the the red canyons.
Western USA Road Trip: Great Basin National Park
After camping at high altitude and below freezing temperatures, we hiked to the top of Wheeler Peak, the second highest peak in Nevada at 13,065 ft (3,982 m).
Western USA Road Trip: Grand Teton National Park
On our hike up to Amphitheater Lake we saw a black bear from up close, but luckily it was more interested in eating berries than humans.
Western USA Road Trip: Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone has it all: huge and colorful geysers, big waterfalls, expansive valleys, lakes, hot springs, bears, and hundreds of bison.
Western USA Road Trip: North Cascades National Park
This was the last of 3 National Parks we visited in Washington. After spending a lot of time trying to find a campsite during Labor Day, we hiked up to beautiful Hidden Lake. This was the first serious day hikes we did during our road trip.
