As much as I love the Northeast, the vastness of the West has a way of pulling you away. The fact that I am lumping half of the continental United States shows just how much more I have to explore. A trip to Olympic National Park opened the door for me and I was blown away by giant trees and glacier topped mountains. I've since done an epic trip to the High Sieras for five days in the woods. Glacier National Park, Yosemite, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon are next up on my bucket list. Everything about nature in the West seems grand and I can't wait to return.
