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.
Be sure to do this on a weekday when the crowds are smaller.

A true highlight of Yellowstone, this hike takes you up and above to see the spring in its entirety.

If you choose to photograph at night in Yellowstone be sure to go with a guide or a group. There is literally a book called Death in Yellowstone that documents those who strayed off the path at night and slipped into hot springs or geysers.

This is the main highway through Yellowstone. Be warned though traffic jams are likely in the summer when wildlife are near the road.

Many guides within Jackson can be hired to take the rapids within the Snake River nearby. If something calmer is what you need, a lot of flat river rafting is also available.

Jenny Lake is one of the Crown Jewels of Grand Teton NP. Paddle or catch a boat ride is how we enjoyed the clear waters of the area. There is also great hiking nearby all with views of the mountains. Trout fishing is also a great pastime here in the summer.

Make sure to stay on one of the few paths that lead to the falls. The falls themselves are worth the visit, also you will see a lot of wildlife in the summer months.

Much smaller crowd sizes and imo better views of Zion National Park than Angels Landing. I did AL just to get the badge of honor. I did this hike for the best views of the park. It is physically demanding and is exposed in the hotter months so prepare.

Chasm is a easy but amazing hike to an fantastic view of the valley below. Parts of this canyon only receive less than a hour of direct sunlight which gives the canyon its black color.

This is one of the first encounters one has with the Island in the Sky District of Canyonlands. Majestic views and awesome red rock for miles.

This park is iconic for photography. Make sure to get to view points during the sunrise or sunset for the light to be right for most highlights of the park. Also, be sure to have ample lights if you choose to take photos at night as this park gets extremely dark and sometimes there are no crowds to help in case of emergencies.

Make sure to check the park website on updates to permits and guided bikes within this section of the park. Since Covid 19 in 2020, this has been closed to entry.

People come from all over the country to backpack to this and other off road trails near Ouray/Telluride. Yankee Boy was one of the biggest highlights of my trip with the views and wildflowers.

The wildflowers, streams, mountain views, and mine ruins make for some dramatic photography. I didn't hike here, we drove our jeep up to the basin. 4WD with high clearance is needed to reach this by vehicle.

Closest you can sleep next to the ice lakes trail head. It can get dusty from all of the side by sides and jeeps coming through the campground all day. Has become very popular since Ice Lakes became a instagram hit.

Be in decent shape before attempting. Also, you will meet vehicles coming off of Black Bear Pass. Be aware they do not have much shoulder of the road to share with hikers.

Enjoy unreal views on this tough off road adventure. Make sure your rig can handle the potholes, boulders, and sharp dropoffs.

This national park may be new, but it is mighty. The paved drive for several miles takes you to several trails and overlooks. It is easy and provides amazing views of Black Canyon of the Gunnison.

This is a great off road road over a very scenic pass. Most places along the road is wide enough fro traffic both ways, however there is a stretch of about a mile below the summit that is very narrow, loose, and limited in two way traffic. Up hill has the right of way. Slow down and enjoy the views.

When you seek unreal beauty with challenging 4wd experiences, most people will have Black Bear Pass' road on the list. Be warned, this road is difficult and is a one way road from the summit into Telluride. Do not attempt in anything stock 4wd or awd, this vehicle will not make it otherwise.

Easy short hike to a amazing double arch. And its massive. Look along the trail and see many other arches in the nearby cliffs.

This is a awesome quick hike in which you could grab some awesome photographs. Examples include catching the window arches through the turret arch. Pan a photo to catch the two windows and the turret arch together. Etc.

This is a nice bathroom break and stop on the way to the Needles District of Canyonlands. No one knows the stories being described on this wall, but it is one of the best examples of petroglyphs I have ever seen.

This is a easy hike that you can either hike out and back or have someone pick you up at the other end. The "avenue" needs to be experienced in person to be able to understand just how big it really is.
