Best for a camping trip: Arizona, Utah and Colorado … or Oregon, Washington and British Columbia?

A friend and I will be taking a long camping tour next month, and one of the two excursions. It seems as if they had to be very different. The AZ / UT / CO route would probably see the Grand Canyon in Arizona, Canyonlands area of southeastern Utah (Arches National Park, etc.) and then the mountains of Colorado. Moreover, the OR / WA / BC route would involve a lot of forest areas, some national parks like Crater Lake, some things Oceanside, etc. We are divided between the two, as the AZ / UT / CO path would be new to us, but it will be August and we wonder if roasted in our car or tent in these areas might have a lot of fun out of it (not Bungalows with A / C for us!). Which would you choose?

Well, let's see. The desert that Utah and Arizona, the mountain is called the Rockies * cha * O … Please …. travel, … God's land. * Wink * Choose either the Pacific Highway in the western part of Oregon or right by three sisters, Doing I-5 after that incredible hill hit'n ole 'we like to call Louwala-Clough (Mount St. Helens) After completing the trip, other 2, two hours and a half north, the international geological community has determined that Mount Rainier is the world's 16th most dangerous volcano. (elev. 14,410 feet) Mount Rainier National Park is full of old-growth forests. More than 91 thousand hectares. As defined, the growth of old trees is over 250 years old. Some of these fir Douglas fir and Western have been around for over a thousand years. Of course, some of the younger trees also contribute to the tree line splendid. Western Red Cedar, Pacific silver fir and Ponderosa pine all Timberland decorate and create surreal. .. And the 4 legged creatures, moose, deer, squirrels, and coyotes. Everyone need each other to maintain. About 800 living species of plants. Over 100 non-native plants. There are 54 mammals, 126 birds and 17 amphibians and reptiles that call this home Park. Nisqually Tribe has been granted access to the Park, in order to collect the plants, traditionally used in ancient rituals, and medicine. Plants being collecting: bear grass, blueberries, coconut, blueberry, devils club, maidenhair, gooseberries, Salmonberry, Serviceberry, strawberry, tiger lily, princes pine, fir, cedar, white pine and western yew. The park has also submitted that when you need "vision quests" and other traditional travel, that the Park will make every effort to keep tourists. Legend has it that the native (Mt.) Tahoma is the sister of mourning (Mt) of St. Helens. .. And they're always fighting for love (Mt.) Adams. Once you catch your breath beyond the events of Mount Rainer vertigo, go down to the very groovy metropolitan city of Seattle, it's time party to their hearts desire. Who cares if it's the middle of the night. It's open. Then dance your ass off, in the grooviest very west of the strip clubs of Las Vegas. Now is the time to jump a ferry, the circle of the peninsula, get to Lake Quinault Lodge, and the rest as you have never rested. THEN …. find their way sunward Duc Hot Springs (clothing optional area, of course) You feel shocked as you are in the only worlds temperate rainforest. The canopy of trees, is so dense, moist, no matter how blue the sky. Douglas fir, white and red cedar trees are laregest worldwide … Its freaken sky … Then, of course, you grab your passport, head of the hour and a half to Port Angeles, quick and take the ferry across the Strait of Juan de Fuca. And ya'll be oot and Victoria a'boot British Columbia, before you know, eh? .. =)
