The real problem is finding the time (and $$$) to get there from the east coast. Now that the family is dialed in on two weeks in the Sierra each summer, plus my annual winter Death Valley getaway, we have a challenge. The only national parks we still have left to visit in the West-of-the-Mississippi Lower 48 are Yellowstone/Tetons/Glacier, and Crater Lake. Gotta squeeze those in somehow. Plus Alaska - more bucket list parks. We love the Grand Canyon (who doesn't?!), but we've been there twice in recent years, visiting both rims. I doubt if I could get away with floating that idea to the family any time soon.
So many trails - so little time and funding! Obama needs to use his bully pulpit to push through a National Park Visitation Stimulus Package!
