My husband and I have visited 15 national parks so far. Our two children (3yr+4yr) have multiple stamps and it’s our yearly family vacation!
You decide who will win $10,000, embark on an expedition in a Winnebago RV, and appear in Outside Magazine
All of them! Glacier, Kenai Fjords, Olympic and Joshua Tree are at the top of the list. This year we are taking our kids to Congaree and next year heading back out to California!
What has been your favorite adventure experience?Backpacking The Narrows in Zion on our honeymoon, Camping in Yosemite and Kings Canyon while 4 months pregnant, accidentally taking the “back way” into Canyonlands that was a 4x4 dirt road. Free hot showers in Mesa Verde. The beehive trail and tide pooling in Acadia. Chasing groundhogs in Bryce Canyon. Riding the train in Cuyahoga with my train obsessed toddler. Discovering Peanut soup in Shenandoah. Falling in love with Appalachia in Cade’s Cove in Great Smoky Mountain. Exploring Dry Tortugas.
What would you do with $10,000?We would plan a road trip out west to go to the Northern parks, Isle Royale, Voyagers, Theodore Roosevelt, Badlands, Wind Cave, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Glacier, North Cascades, Mount Rainier, and Olympic! As many as we could squeeze into a road trip with our kids!
