replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 A10: Nowhere highway in Utah, went back a year later, same thing. I packed a lunch the 2nd time, ate it on the side of the highway, in that funny grass stuff. #parkchat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 A10 Seattle is always terrifying and miserable to drive through! All of my worst experiences with traffic have occurred there. There are places I'd love to visit on the other side, but don't because I can't face the drive! #ParkChat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 A10 See my snowstorm answer from earlier. Heavy traffic in Rocky Mountain when everyone in car us feeling a bit of altitude sickness. #parkchat

replying to @PhotoBre @PhotoBre @GalsWander If you like to hike, or want a great roadtrip, either hike Long Trail (the forerunner of the Appalachian Trail) or drive VT-100 up the spine of the Greens from MA to the Canada line. (Of course, make a stop in Burlington, too.) Then pick a return route through NH or ME #ParkChat

replying to @NatureGirlTech @NatureGirlTech @GalsWander Your comment made me think immediately of Badlands NP. The history, the tie-in with Wounded Knee. Chills, indeed. #parkchat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 A10) What some would consider the worst was probably the best for me. I white-knuckled my way to Logan Pass on Going-to-the-Sun @GlacierNPS on my first visit, and if it weren't for how congested it was (and subsequently slow-going) I would have no doubt freaked out. #ParkChat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 Some putz rear-ended us in Redwood. He said he was distracted by the trees. Dude, I get it, but. come on. Luckily, there was no damage. #FindYourPark #ParkChat

A10) I tend to go places off season, during weekdays. I've had pretty great luck on that front. Occasional flag men here and there but I'm one of those weirdos that loves stopping at flag men for some reason! I don't know why it just feels like an awesome break haha! 🤓 #ParkChat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 A10) #ParkChat Worst traffic, one of the best experiences, seeing Pele the caldera fill up at Kilauea in @Volcanoes_NPS and people came from all over the Big Island, parking was full and an hour wait for but was the 1st time I saw the Lava lake before it emptied to the Ocean

A11: We travel full-time, so a bit of both. We plan about a month out, and it changes constantly. But the biggest thing for us is campgrounds. As far as day-to-day hikes and activities, we scope things out on day one and then decide the next few days. #ParkChat https://t.co/tQhdvDG1we

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A11 if you're staying overnight you kind of have to plan ahead. For day trips I'll often just wing it. #ParkChat

A10 Trying to leave Cades Cove in the @GreatSmokyNPS after watching my first-ever total solar eclipse. It took me 5 hours to drive 23 miles. And I was just starting to develop a severe cold, sore throat, and fever. #ParkChat

A11: I'm a planner whether my roadtrip involves national parks or not. However, depending on my familiarity with a park I wing it because it's difficult to research ALL the options when visiting. #ParkChat
rscottjones
replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove Call and ask the park when they are scheduled to grade the road. Last time I was there (hmm, March was it?), they had just done that there and in Titus Canyon a few weeks prior. Not sure what their normal schedule is or if that was more unusual. #ParkChat
