The great summer trip of 2018 is complete

Sixty-six days out on the road. A 5,000 mile journey through eleven states. Twenty-one campgrounds. Five national parks. Four national historic sites. One national monument. Twenty-two Junior Ranger Badges earned. The great summer trip of 2018 is complete.

Highlights:

A new national park for all of us: Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

Experiencing Glacier National Park during the beginning of the season.

Traveling on a Puget Sound car ferry.

Exploring the ocean tidepools of Olympic National Park.

Hiking through the snow of Mount Rainier National Park but still enjoying the wildflowers.

Hiking out to Glacier National Park’s Bullhead Lake, soaking our feet in its waterfall fed water and having the lake to ourselves.

Crossing paths with an elderly big horn sheep on the Medicine Loop Trail in Badlands National Park.

I hope to post more in depth posts of the trip soon.
