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

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

replying to @e_terren @e_terren #CaliforniaDreaming. Lots of National Parks here. #ParkChat

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

Q4) Road trips, amazing places, great adventure naturally or by surprise can be supplemented by a soundtrack. What's your favorite? #ParkChat @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute

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

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 A2: The freedom and flexibility. Downside,. the stiffness, and sore back from riding in the vehicle. #ParkChat

replying to @LinuxGal @LinuxGal That is definitely hitting all of the big ones! In that order? #ParkChat

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 @LiveaMemory @LiveaMemory @t_jh2009 @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @YellowstoneNPS @GrandTetonNPS Drive was scary. That's why it's memorable. With all the wildlife, you never know what might wander onto the road. Fortunately, nothing did. #parkchat

replying to @unconpeace @unconpeace You nailed a real issue here. As we see more and more effects of climate change, I’m feeling more and more guilty about spewing carbon into our national parks and elsewhere just to experience them. #parkchat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute A1: Stateside, I did a 10 day, 2,000+ mile road trip across Utah and back. I went to all the national parks, along with a spare day at Hoover Dam and Las Vegas! Abroad, probably Tikal; those ancient ruins in the jungle are fascinating. #ParkChat

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

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 @NatureGirlTech @NatureGirlTech @t_jh2009 @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute A1. My most memorable trip is in Cajas National Park in Cuenca, Ecuador. We hiked up to 4,000 m above sea level. We weren't really prepared - air was thin and none of us had proper gear; we hopped in an army jeep and just drove. Seeing that tundra is simply amazing. #ParkChat
