Cross Country National Park Road Trip (11 New Parks)

Route (A bit roundabout as was seeing family):

Cuyahoga Valley -> Badlands -> Wind Cave -> Yellowstone -> Grand Teton -> Black Canyon -> Canyonlands -> Arches -> Capitol Reef -> Bryce Canyon -> Great Basin -> Sequoia -> Kings Canyon

All parks were new except Yellowstone and Grand Teton. If I had to rank the parks on the trip.

  1. Yellowstone

  2. Grand Teton

  3. Bryce Canyon

  4. Sequoia

  5. Capitol Reef

  6. Arches

  7. Great Basin

  8. Kings Canyon

  9. Canyonlands (Only island in the sky district)

  10. Black Canyon

  11. Wind Cave

  12. Badlands

  13. Cuyahoga Valley - Still loved it!!!! The ledges were unbelievably cool.

P.S

I accidentally copied the Cuyahoga Valley pic like 4 times at the end of the post, so be ready for a Cuyahoga valley jump scare at the end as I do not feel like redoing the whole gallery.

Looking for high-end mountain-west themed restaurants in the USA.

Hello! I was lucky enough to go to M by Alinea this past winter and was very impressed by their take on upscale mountain west cuisine. Unfortunately, their residency is over and I have been looking for other options.

I am personally from the mountain west, and while I know our region of the country has not been historically known as a foodie region, I was highly impressed by some of the regional ingredients and flavors used (elk, huckleberry, bison, SRF beef, pine, trout, morels and more). Of course many restaurants use these ingredients, and in my home town there is plenty of casual mountain-themed restaurants, but none that would really qualify as fine-dining.

If anyone who is from or has visited the region knows of any high-end restaurants that fit this (maybe like Bosq in Aspen??) I would love to hear. Appreciate any feedback and responses.
