replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3 Right now, my answer would be to drive through the Rockies all the way up into Canada. Planning on that trip in a couple of years. #ParkChat

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3) I did that in 1992, actually it was 40 days long and I drove across the country and back seeing various people and NPS areas along the way. #ParkChat

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3. I'd go to places I've never been. Probably Utah parks or parks in California. #parkchat

A3 From London to Singapore, my itinerary would take me through the Holy Land, then on to countries like Iran & Afghanistan, I wouldn't be turned away b/c my passport has an Israeli stamp, & I could get across an unguarded Pakistan-India border - give peace a chance #parkchat

A3) A tour of all the New Mexico sites. New Mexico has so much to offer, and for us, a month isn't enough time to travel far and wide. Photo at Aztec National Monument. #ParkChat

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3: I head West from Dallas to Guadalupe Mnts and Carlsbad, then to Utah and it’s fab 5 Parks, then into Montana, over to Washington, south to LA and back east to home, hitting all the NPS sites I can #ParkChat
![](http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1619802983465615362/pUOTca1A_normal.jpg)
A3 Ideal trip? Start in @BadlandsNPS, hit the Black Hills, @DevilsTowerNM, then @GrandTetonNPS, @YellowstoneNPS, Grant- Kohl’s, and @GlacierNPS
Or, drop the last two and go slow, and really enjoy. #parkchat
![](http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1509177569492582405/VBSUV36-_normal.jpg)
A3: I've mentioned it previously on other chats, but I'd love to do a loop through Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming hitting Yellowstone and Grand Teton parks plus the other #NPS sites. With some #craftbeer and #MiLB added for balance. #ParkChat

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander #ParkChat A3 I'd wait until the summer—Phoenician here, we don't do cold weather or snowy mountain passes—then head north along the West Coast up to Olympic, then hang a right and meander over to Glacier, then hang another right and wind my way back south through the Rockies.

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3) One area I have yet to truly explore is the South. like the Florida Keys and that stretch of road in Louisiana that goes across the water (that's always in the movies), New Orleans, etc. #ParkChat

A3. I want to drive the Great River Road from #Minnesota all the way to #NewOrleans! A month would do it! #ParkChat

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3: I know some planes would be needed, but I'd love to spend at least a month in Alaska. #ParkChat
![](http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1665368520832712704/qPSJ7t-d_normal.jpg)
replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3: Would head south, then north, then south again, and north. Not that easy mostly small roads winding into little towns, etc. West/east/west, to many highways/freeways that seem to stifle meandering wanders. Then there is Route 66 ;-) #parkchat
![](http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1357883510913130497/gZiaXM8E_normal.jpg)
replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander Newbie to #ParkChat but I'll give it a shot. A3) Key West to Bar Harbor Maine, through Np's like Congaree, great Smokey mountains, and of course Acadia

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3) Month long? Wow! We'd honestly love to road trip all the #NewMexico parks. That sounds like a very nice time seeing some old favorites and exploring new ones! #parkchat
![](http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1045811548713709568/IWP9pf6C_normal.jpg)
replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3 I'd head to Canada! Mt. Robson NP, Canadian Glacier NP, Banff, Jasper, Wells Gray, then back to Washington via Prince Rupert and Vancouver Island. #ParkChat

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3: From California up to @VisitUtah to see @ZionNPS @PinnaclesNPS @BryceCanyonNPS and @ArchesNPS. Then up to @visitmontana to see @GlacierNPS. My parents honeymooned there and it’s tops on my #BucketList #parkchat

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3: we’ve wanted to do a road trip around the #USA and would probably go up highway 1 along the west coast. #ParkChat

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3) Have dreamed of this & have it mapped out even tho it's 2-3yrs before we can (cough, geek). Start TX, loop thru NM, AZ, UT, NV, CA, OR, WA, then east and down to WY, CO, back up to Dakotas, south to Nebraska. Hit lots of parks and #WildlifeRefuges + state parks. #ParkChat

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3) #ParkChat It depends on the Month, if it was this winter, say in December, I'd probably go to the @EvergladesNPS then to the @DryTortugasNPS because it's such a lovely time of year and too cold in other places. I would take the @YankeeFreedom ferry out and camp out on DRTO!

A5 The best part of a #roadtrip through a #nationalpark is the complete and total lack of cellular service! Forces me to disconnect and provides me with a respite from social media like this. #ParkChat
