Yosemite is beautiful, but like most national parks, don't go in the summer because of the crowds.  Sequoia is gorgeous, too.  But so is Zion, and Bryce, and the Grand Canyon.  

We had a blast going to Yellowstone a few years ago - stayed there for a week in 3 different lodges in different sections of the park.  Amazing place.

Umm yes, I am a card carrying National Parks Junkie.

The trick we found is summer is OK as long as you are willing to wake before dawn. :D. Go out see the sunrise and enjoy the park until 10. Then go in and take a nap/relax until after 3. After 3 you can start to go out again and enjoy the sunset.
That was how we enjoyed the grand canyon. The first day we stayed out past 10, I was shocked at how quickly the park filled with idiots. (There was one family. The teen boy was standing on top of this pillar nothing around him but a steep 2 mile drop, he had to have jumped from the ledge to get on it. And there was his mother watching him taking pictures :/ ) But its seemed most left a little after 3 and you could enjoy yourself again.
 
Pretty! Can I put my rocking chair on your porch ?


Can't see the coops from the porch but the back deck is great. My chairs are out right next to the coops. :)

Not to many woods out West.  We have forests in the mountains, but the Bosque near the river is the closest thing we have to woods.


Wish I had known you when I came out that way to see my mom. I'll probably never make it back that way, unless I come visit my mom's last boyfriends daughter. She lives near Phoenix. She took us to the mountains one day. So much different than the mountains here, but both are breathtaking!

You know what a redneck's last words are ?
"Hey fellas, watch this!" Lost a couple of friends over the years doing dangerous stunts like that.

I would miss the forest but I would love to go west for another visit. Next time I want to go Yosemite.


Northern part of the coastal redwoods range here, just sayin' ;) Plus fudge.

I have a great aunt who lives on the Rouge River, Grants Pass, that is a beautiful area. We went on to see the Red woods, beautiful
