Our great country -- so much to see! Yellowstone is simply amazing. I haven't been to Gunnison or Ouray since the '80s (holy crap, I'm getting old). Great to be reminded of them. Our National Parks are tremendous. In the last dozen or so years we've been to Acadia, Smokies, Yellowstone, Yosemite, Glacier and Denali. They're spectacular!

I agree.

I also need to see Yellowstone, Glacier and Denali...

When I was last out to south dakota, grand canyon, colorado (rky mtn nat park), it was before digital pictures....

Let me know if you decide to plan a trip. I can share what were our best and worst moments, what to do and see and maybe what to skip, where to stay and such. For the best accomodations, plan a year in advance, especially for Yellowstone and Glacier. We did Glacier this time last year. If I had to sum up in one word: dramatic. The wildlife, the scenery, the weather -- all spectacularly dramatic. I want to go back.

Thanks, Not sure when will will do either trips. The yellowstone\glacier park may be a cross country trip, probably after I retire which could be 10 years from now or tomorrow

Would like to do denali by ourselves, but may end up on one of those cruise packages.

Yosemite is where I'd like to go as a part of our next trip.

I'd wait a while.

I read about that.I'm HOPING that when we make it out there that we'll have a camper type van to stay in if we need to.You never quite know how close you are to a hotel or camping site with such long travel distances out there.

When we visited Yosemite, we stayed at a hotel in Maraposa. It was not that long of a ride to the park (esp on a bike).
