My family tree can be traced through the Land Between the Lakes and the Shawnee National Forest regions of West Kentucky and Southern Illinois. I have been obsessed with traveling the Nation's National and State Parks my entire life.

I thought other waterfalls in the area were better, but this was a good stopping point and nice relaxing couple hours at the falls. Worth a stop.

This campground is awesome and likely one of the best along this stretch of California, but it books up WAAAAY in advance so be prepared.

I stayed on shore with a spotting scope, but watching the whales along this stretch of coast is mind blowing, I recommend anyone spend some time relaxing and watching the ocean near Monterey Bay.

This is a great park to stop at along the PCH. Come for an amazing sunset if you're staying nearby.

An easy stop along the PCH. Be sure to catch this at low tide to reveal lots of cool tide pools and rock formations.

This road has to be driven to be believed. The mountains crash into the Pacific oceans. Also, Canyons, Pine Forests, Redwood Groves, Waterfalls, Tide Pools, it goes on and on the adventures that can be had along the PCH.

This trail was awesome change up to the Sequoia tree trails that dot the park. Waterfalls are always a draw though, so be ready for a bit of a crowd.

I enjoyed the sunsets here, but also watching people who are way better at surfing than me make the sport look really easy. Also this area reminds me of a by gone era of California.

This is also an amazing place to catch a sunset.

Seeing the awesome Torrey Pines Hill or mountains or whatever meet at the beach is awesome. Many little nook and cranny canyons and rock formations meet the sandy beaches near San Diego and are must visit. Be warned, it gets very crowded here.

The water is to cold for me to fully swim, but this is one of the most beautiful stretches of beach in California. Make sure its either a hot day or you have a wet suit to fully enjoy the water.

This urban park built into a wilderness area makes this quick but steep hike full of awesome views.

There are boat ramps and a marina to get your adventure here started. The flat water paddles with the red rock canyons is awesome any time of year.

This is an awesome place to watch the stars. many amenities are here for campers and it is a great place to relax while visiting the Superstition Mountains.

This is an awesome immersive experience in the spires of Chiricahua.

This is a remote park, but with it being a member of the NPS, many amenities are here for all campers. Take advantage.

The Superstition Mountains glow orange and red at sunset and make for some awesome photos. From novice to experts, all can capture this area well.

If you don't wish to hike, there is another way through a cattle ranch to reach the ruins.

Great intro walk to see the highlights of the NP. Easy for almost everyone.

I had no idea I would see a 100 foot or so waterfall in full display when I headed out to explore near Tucson. The trail sometimes is hard to follow to the base of the falls but it is worth the effort as this is a sight to see.

this cascade doesn't seem possible to exist in the desert, but thanks to the limestone springs in the area it is usually wet even in summer.

If youre only driving through the park and not hiking, make sure to add this great side road to the trip.

This is the one hike you have to do if only visiting the park for a short period of time.

Just when I thought Arizona couldnt surprise me. I wasnt really excited about Petrified Forest, but once I did this trail I was hooked to do more. The rocks here are amazing color. Make sure to have a lot of water as I did it in the heat and ran out early.
