This is the tentative plan, anyway! I've been trying to figure out how much time I ought to allot for this trip. At first I thought a month would be wayyy too long, but when I break it down:
- 2 days to get to NYC (probably a stop-over and some hiking on the Blue Ridge Parkway somewhere)
- 2 or 3 days with Doug in Brooklyn
- 1 day to get to Niagara Falls
- 2 or 3 days with James in Michigan
- 1 day to Wisconsin
- overnight at Aunt Ellen's, then 1 day to get to the Badlands
- 3 days hiking and camping at the Badlands
- 1 day to Yellowstone/Grand Teton
- 4 or 5 days combined hiking and camping
- 1 day to Arches/Glen Canyon
- 3 or 4 days combined hiking and camping
- 1 day thru Monument Valley and to the Grand Canyon
- 3 days at the Grand Canyon
- 1 day to get to Las Vegas
- 1 day in Vegas
- 1 day to the Sierra Nevada
- 1 day hiking
- 1 day to San Francisco
...add that up and that's 29-33 days total. So if I leave on June 30th, that should be about perfect for an August 1st arrival in SF.
Everything's still up in the air, of course!
