Hey everyone,
I am starting to plan a long (for me) trip across the US. I will be traveling solo with my dog so I have to think about that when planning park visits etc. I've never been on a trip longer than a week and only drove a day or so to get there so this is all new.
the details so far:
leave middle TN in April and return some time in October or later.
My hope is to hit a majority of these, the order is yet to be determined but might look something like this -
Northern Minnesota (april or oct/sept) in hopes of catching Northern lights
Badlands
Yellowstone
Glacier
Grand Tetons
Crater Lake
Redwood
Yosemite
Sequoia
Joshua Tree
Grand Canyon
Zion
Bryce
Arches
Petrified Forest
some may be added or removed based on further planning and research
The question I have for now is would you head west across the south first then circle up to the north later in the year or would it be better to go north first then south towards the end of the trip
and any suggestions to add or remove stops please feel free to mention them
thank you!
