Vacation overview

This year we go back to the northwest. We leave on July 12th to visit UT, NV, CA, OR, WA, ID, MT, and WY and return on July 30th.

Now that the girls are older we will be doing a lot more hiking than we did on our 2002 west coast trip including hiking to the rim of Mt. St. Helens and several other peaks in the Cascade, Sierra Nevada, and Rocky Mountain ranges. This trip will mainly be a driving tour of the national parks in the northwest, 12 in all plus 5 national monuments, and several state parks.

The girls are excited about going to Forks, OR (Twilight fans will know all about this), seeing the pacific coastline, and San Francisco. As for myself I am most looking forward to visiting and hiking in Glacier, Olympic, and Crater Lake National Parks. We are returning to Yellowstone, Death Valley, and Yosemite National Parks this year to see different areas of each.
