As I make the final preparations for my upcoming six week tour, I am beginning to take stock of some of the natural beauty at which I will be able to marvel on this once in a lifetime journey.
Park to get to great vistas of Rainier but if you are looking to just gawk at the mountain you can do that in a half day, there are also beautiful streams, wildlife and large trees to look at. Definitely make sure you have warm
Sounds like a fantastic roadtrip..I've been to most of these...I have thoughts....Are you taking the interstate to Bozeman? its a long drive.I80? ...Do the drive Thru The Badlands in SD,Mt Rushmore you've seen in pictures..skip it ...Alternate route through the UP and all the way across to Going to the Sun on US 2. slower but more interesting than I 80....lots of eagles gather in Glacier at some point in the fall but you'll have to google. but that takes you out of the way from Bozeman...have you tried for a gig in Missoula? would you have time?
It's gonna be amazing, I hope. And yeah, so much driving.
I have a gig in Aberdeen, SD on Saturday and Miles City, MT on Monday, so the Badlands are out, unfortunately. I wouldn't go to Mount Rushmore if it was across the street. I find that thing to be pretty gross, tbh.
I would love to do the US 2 route. It looks amazing. Not this time, though.
I tried like hell to land a gig in Bozeman but it seemed like no one did any weeknight shows, so I will just have to suffer through a day at Glacier.
Crater Lake is incredible and worth the drive to get to it. The water is a shade of blue I've never seen anywhere else. It's hard to describe.
The Grand Canyon is also worth it. Depending on which entrance you use, it can be crowded, but the views are awe-inspiring. It's hard to grasp the scale and grandeur of it all.
Can't go wrong with any of the Cascades, really, though my fave will always be Mt. Hood.
I am so excited for you Matty! I can’t wait for the amazing stories and photos you will post along the way. The only one of the parks I’ve visited is the Grand Canyon, so I will be living vicariously through you😊
Rainier is beautiful, lots of travel within the

Clothes no matter how warm you might think it is.

Thank you so very much. I am so excited to hit the road. There will be so much to see, do, and share. Need to work to stay in the moment too, right?
Thanks for getting stoked about this with me. It's really appreciated.
