road trip: the national parks

Notes from a Road Trip. June, 2021: 10 days, 5 parks

Bryce Canyon Lodge in time for dinner. Wilted salad, fresh-baked buttermilk biscuits. Twilight sky above the canyon a concave bowl of midnight blue. Mesquite burning in a distant firepit. The wind shrieks in delight. Tomorrow, Inspiration Point.

Sunrise over the canyon, the trails vast with promise. Hillside hoodoos: rock formations squinting in the sunlight like ghostly stalagmites. Five miles by 9 am, my breath dusty and hot. Maps and park passes, hiking boots and hydration packs shoved in the Escape’s backseat and I’m headed north up I-15. Montana awaits.

I love the pictures! I love reading national park trip stories almost as much as visiting the parks myself. Looking forward to hearing more about the this trip!
