It's really happening! Yesterday partner-in-crime Kate and I sat side by side with our Macbooks at Soy Cafe in the West Village, counted to three, and clicked the "Purchase Tickets" button. We're flying to Vegas on the last week of August to embark on a road trip through some amazing national parks until we hit one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World: the majestic Grand Canyon.
We've set aside seven days for this The 1-Week Grand Circle Road Trip, and are in the process of planning painstakingly to make sure we can hit all the spots and throw in some nice hikes. There are so many elements to this trip, from booking a car (a stick shift, if possible) to reserving camping spots and researching hiking trails. But it's totally worth the effort because there are some pretty amazing things to see out there.
The first stop is Zion National Park in Utah ...
... followed by Bryce Canyon National Park to say hello to some hoodoos ...
... then check out Capitol Reef National Park's wrinkles and domes ...
... then make like we're in the middle of a Western film at Monument Valley ...
... and at long last, stare slack-jawed at the Grand Canyon!
It's going to be a lot of work, but I know it'll be worth all the effort. Thank you Kate, for joining me in the madness. It will be a trip to remember America by!
