National Park-to-Park Highway Route
Where we are headed

The Layout of the Trip!

If you don't know, David and I have very different jobs on these RV trips: He drives and supplies the money, and I tell him where to go! This year's trip is the recreation of the 1920's National Park-to-Park Highway Tour sponsored by AAA. While they aren't sponsoring our trip, they have been of great help in routing around some of the more "challenging" roads: Wolf Creek Pass in Colorado and New Priest Grade Road outside Yosemite National Park.

Even before going to visit any of these sites, just driving to them all and back home is a trip of 6,000+ miles! Doesn't count sightseeing, eating out, shopping, etc.

The route is pretty much complete, but always subject to some change!

If you see a place where we'll pass near you, let me know and we'll see if we can arrange a visit.
