....or National Park (in honor of Earthday)
I concur that our National Parks System is one of our greatest legacies!!!! We owe SO much to those individuals who battl(ed) the tyrants and giants of industry and development for the sake of future generations. Gosh there are so many! I guess just pick one. One of my favorites is The Canyon Overlook Trail (Zion Canyon)...a beautiful only 1 mile hike, that opens up to one of the most spectacular views EVER. I love that sense of feeling so small, yet absolutely belonging. Perhaps one (trail/hike) that's even close to your backyard......... |

The woods in Central Florida aren't very appealing, mostly just palmetto and pines...
 Since I don't travel much, I'm gonna have to say a walk along the beach at Anna Maria Island...

Tribbles, I love FL!!! I've been to FL many times & spent 3 months there when I was 15 with my Dad in 1982. Unfortunately I haven't been back to FL for about 6 years.

Went in Feb, you can drive in @ that time, rates real low and sweater weather. |

Camped there for a week in Sept, years back. COLD, but so much fun. A fellow camper down the ways snored so loud, we thought a bear was in their camp and snuck down, after we war painted our faces~! |

Yep, Montana is spectacular.....love it.
I lived there for a long time and climbed those hills and floated the rivers. Floating on inner tubes all tied together down the Blackfoot River, one inner tube was just for the cooler of beer, some great spots up there. Yellowstone is one of the great places to visit, lots to see and do. I worked up Glacier Park one summer tending bar, it was quite a summer. I met people there that lived in a tee-pee year round, at the top of the Rocky Mountains, whoa... I was at Saint Mary's and anyone who has driven the "going to the sun" highway knows how incredible it is way all up there in the clouds. Jackson Hole, Wyoming is a happening little place in the summer. The Grand Canyon is always breath taking no matter how many times you've seen it. I'd like to get down there again this summer. ...and of course Utah, love hiking through the gorgeous-ness of our landscape. There are several canyons within minutes from my house...and southern Utah has the red rock parks. I haven't been there for awhile either, I'd like to go there this summer to. Zion and Arches parks, Moab...so many nifty far-out places down there too. Without a doubt, for me personally...this region of the country is where it's happening as far as nature, the parks, the rivers, and the over all awesome-ness of the mountains and all that comes with it. I do at times miss the water and beaches though, gotta love the mountains, except during winter. |
