Thanks for sharing the experience!
What a wonderful country we live in and have the opportunity to enjoy. For those that have been blessed with the opportunity to encounter these areas I am confident that it brought back some fond memories. For the vast amount of people who may fall into the other catergory allow these photographs, information, insight and planning to serve as a means of inspiration. Perhaps you will have this occasion in your future or at least parts of it should you desire and have the means for it.
One of the many blessings of this site for me is to receive this type of benefit. The wisdom, experience and vision of others have allowed me to make the most of my journeys and plan those yet to come.
And with that I will begin to plan another future journey and thanks to all that shared
