replying to @Fit_life360 @Fit_life360 @t_jh2009 @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @GalsWander This national park has been on my bucket list since I saw the first photo. It's so beautiful there. I'd spend a month just right there I think. #ParkChat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 A2: Most appealing: the freedom to explore more. Least appealing: traffic and the dangers of breaking down somewhere remote. #ParkChat

replying to @Adventuringgal @Adventuringgal My first generation of cats wasn’t fond of road trips until I started taking them frequently (and lost the most vociferous one). Now I have 3 who’ve road tripped for years. One sometimes complains a bit at first, but in the end, they’re better campers than our 2 dogs! #ParkChat

replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip @BarnetteJason @BlueRidgeNPS @TheNatchezTrace I've only ever driven across it passing through Mississippi or near Nashville. I've never gotten to drive ON it. #ParkChat

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander A3: Wow, that is a long trip. I would love to take off towards the East Coast and explore the AT, and New England (trails/mountains) area. #ParkChat

replying to @Stars252525 @Stars252525 @GalsWander & once in 🇨🇦 Canada you have Waterton-Lake NP, then 4 adjacent Rockies ones, west to Canada's Glacier & Revelstoke national parks, west some more to Pacific Rim NP on Vancouver Island & we're just getting started! :) Wonderful trip. #parkchat

replying to @wander_filled @wander_filled So true, the drive back is often the worst. #parkchat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 A2 Favorite part is seeing large expanses of relatively untouched land #ParkChat

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander This is always a debate for me. I’ve been dividing up bike trips for the PCH and cross county, plus the Atlantic Coast. So, perhaps the PCH or Colorado? Or the Alcan. #ParkChat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute A4 My 15-year-old son plays DJ when we travel. He has several genres and DJ characters he plays. He even takes calls from the front seat. And it's commercial free. #parkchat

replying to @GalsWander @GalsWander I've been to the very NE part of the state, saw Lava Beds, and saw Shasta through a break in the clouds. Can't wait to get back there. #parkchat

replying to @PhotoBre @PhotoBre @GalsWander Bit late for that, as someone who spent 4 years in #Vermont. Typically mid-to-late September is the ideal time for NH/VT/ME. More like late September-early October this year, though. #ParkChat

Q5: What has been the best part of driving through a National Park for you? #ParkChat
StevenOnTheMove
replying to @BarnetteJason @BarnetteJason @BlueRidgeNPS @TheNatchezTrace If that took you a month then you must've made a LOT of stops on the Trace. That isn't so bad. #ParkChat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute A4) It might be slightly evil, but it could be fun to do a cross country drive, with a journey challenge. Only the radio. No FM station above 89.9 #parkchat

replying to @Fit_life360 @Fit_life360 @GalsWander Q3. I'll love to do 2 trips. One to Canada's breathtaking East Coast. Another one straight through the Prairies all the way to Banff and the Rockies. My mom doesn't drive though, so if this happens it will have to be @VIA_Rail but $$ #ParkChat
