Only one ever?
I'd have to think about that butit might be Yellowstone. So much more to see”

“Kalaupapa National Historical Park (Hawaii)”

“Glacier.”

“Tetons”

“Gates! For sure. still thinking about doing a float thru its heart.”

“so many places to go and so little time.

dang I need to win Powerball, quit work and do nothing but travel.”

“I'm still a Yellowstone fan. I've only scratched the surface of its backcountry trails. There are loads of geysers (or geezrs) way off road that most people never see.”

“"There are loads of... geezrs way off road that most people never see."

So Ewker's been hanging out at Yellowstone?”

“aero, back when I was in high school I almost took a summer job at Yellowstone. Wish I had taken it :(

Does Yellowstone still post jobs across the country looking for students to work summers?”

“Yeah, I seen a lot of students there in the summers with name tags with the state they're from. They do everything from working in the kitchens and lodges to trail maintanance.

We have a trip planned in a few weeks to ski/camp into one of the backcountry thermal areas for a few nights.”

“Denali
Glacier
Yellowstone

But I'm happy when I get to spend time in Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia too 8)

I could never pick just one...they all have something special to offer.”

“I will be visiting quite a few this summer, but I have really really been looking foward to the Tetons. So that is my vote.”

“Here, here wind walker.

I wonder what kind of jobs the National Parks would have for a retired retail buyer??? hmmmm.”

“Hey! You posted this on THE OTHER site first! Unconscionable!





Yosemite.”

“Yes, Ewker has become quite the traitor, may be time to consider banning him.”

“Yosemite!!!!”

“Well, Tango, come on out.
You did promise to hike with me.”

“I will, I will! I loved the little bit I saw of it 2 years ago.”

“Huh?
The guy has a little bit and you saw it?”

“MarkO I wish I had an edit feature for YOUR post. I was talking about Yosemite and only dayhiked it cause of my back problem! Fiend!”

“Tango maybe Sir Naviguesser will get that trip together for us in 2006.. :)”

“Great idea trekkingirl. What happened to 2005?”

“Sierrapalooza including Mt Whitney in July 2005..woohoo!!!”

“I have lived in 9 different National Parks :)

Hey! It may be short! But, it's skinny!”

“Hawaii Volcanos National Park!!!!!!!!”

“Yeah, seems to me I already posted ON THIS THREAD SOMEWHERE.... hmmm, where could that have been?? LOL”

“Any of the western parks.I have not been out there yet”

“Glacier (it's next on our list to hopefully visit this coming summer)

Thinkbubelz & I want to go back to Denali... hopefully, the next time we are there, it won't be covered in smoke...”

“It used to be Yosemite, but I've seen Yosemite quite a bit, so I'd say Glacier.

Though a close second for Arches.”

“Mount Rainier, been there, done that, well not the entire mountain:)”

“denali”

“I live in Yosimite Valley... I would hype it to anyone who has'nt been there. Go in the Spring. Bring a fishing pole and climbing gear. Take lotsa pictures.
Nepal has always been atractive to me. I don't know why. But I think I would like to trek there.”

“I've got to pick one I haven't been to..... that's going to have to be Denali.”

“Come on out to Glacier in August. Its going to be a good trip. Hope you can make it.

Glacier is my fav national park but I haven't visted all of them yet.”

“Gotta admit that I'm partial to Rocky Mtn, but Glacier has been high on the list for a long time now.

Yellowstone will be the next one I visit though.”

“We've visited quite a few...
Thinking of taking the Train from Michigan to Glacier...

Denali (our 1st backpacking experience) and the Grand Canyon (car-camping) have been our 2 favorites so far.

Yellowstone has been cool, too, but we didn't do much camping when we went-- hopefully, next time, we'll do some backpacking there.”

“damn, how many people can say the first time they went backpacking was in Denali!”

“I wish to go to all of the ones that I haven't been to, and then to repeat the journey to those already visited.

favorites are so sad.”

“My first camping trip was an eye opener. We thought we were going to a state park near the coast, but it was full, so we kept driving to the Pacific Ocean, walked for miles and camped where we were landlocked overnight all by ourselves.

The rocky landscape revealed a mass of tidepooling at low tide the next day to our surprise. We saw a ton of different colored star fish attached to the rock's sides with giant green anemonies trapped within the rock's pools.

This was just one of our magical trips in the Olympics in WA state.”

“Rocky mt
