Just back from a 5,000 km road trip to 13 National Parks and Monuments from San Francisco to Albuquerque: Muir Woods, Golden Gate, Presidio, Yosemite, Kings Canyon, Sequoia, Death Valley, Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest, El Morro, El Malpais, White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns. Simply breathtaking!
The highlight was a full day hike on the Bright Angel Trail from the rim of the Grand Canyon at 7,000 feet down to 3,000 feet over 10 miles of switchbacks, tunnels and cliff-hugging trail - awesome!
