a trail to self discovery...

I would visit 4 more big National Parks before the wrap up of my wonderful 5 month journey across this country. There would be Glacier National Park, Olympic National Park, Yosemite National Park, and the grand finale of the Grand Canyon National Park.

You will be surprised at the things you will come across, the magnitude of people you will meet, the different means of life within every state you enter, the hospitality you will come across, and most of all the beauty of a place you call your home.
