Arches National Park

Lots of wildfire smoke that day, but due to the low human activity there were more animals out.

Planning a trip….help

Looking to do a National Park exploration/fishing trip with my son in late July or early October. Any suggestions? Thought about maybe the Grand Tetons or around Bryce Canyon? I love to fly fishing and he is majoring in photography so we want to find a beautiful place with some great fishing to do both. Which national park has the best hiking/fishing combo close by for that time of year?

Olympic or Rocky Mountain National Park?

I am considering a trip mid next month for a long weekend (travel Friday, Saturday/Sunday in park, travel Monday). I have narrowed it down to Olympic in Washington or Rocky Mountain in Colorado. Which would you suggest for a solo female traveler? I like the trail options I see for Olympic on All Trails, but Rocky Mountain is coming out just slightly cheaper. I'm a bit scared of the lightning storms there though.

Last minute trip to ND/SD Parks

Pics from Redwoods NP for attention.

We decided to book a last minute trip out to see the parks and monuments in North and South Dakota (Pipestone, Badlnds, Minuteman silo, Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wind and Jewel Caves, Custer state park, Devils tower, Theodore Roosevelt).

Flying in and out of MSP so anywhere along that approximate route is fair game. This trip will be a total of 9 full days once arrived in MSP. Planning to rent a capable SUV but given it’s a rental we don’t want to get too crazy off-roading.

I’m already on the alert list for the cave tours. I welcome all recommendations for cool campgrounds, roadside attractions, good food and drink, nice hikes to do, and suggestions on what’s worth the time to linger at and what should be appreciated briefly.
