Most of the photos in this post are from previous stops along the way during our West Coast National Parks trip of 2017. In trying to figure out exactly where I was in my documentation of the trip, I looked back at our itinerary and our photos. It’s hard to believe how many intriguing places we visited as we worked our way west toward the coast. It would seem appropriate to queue up Johnny Cash’s “I’ve Been Everywhere” because it sure does feel like it!
I just checked, and it has been nearly 11 months since my last post documenting our 2017 West Coast National Parks trip. (Yikes! Time flies when you’re having fun.) Alan and I first drafted our bucket list of National Parks more than 45 years ago when we were planning our honeymoon. We spent a full month tent camping across the country to visit a number of iconic National Parks in the American West. After the kids came along, we vowed to re-create that National Parks honeymoon trip with them and continue working our way through the list of National Parks we planned to visit.
