#612CrossCountryRoadTrip / Grand Teton National Park

On my trip across the country last fall, during the drive west, I visited Grand Teton National Park in northwestern Wyoming. Grand Teton National Park encompasses the Teton Mountain Range (which rises up to 13,775 feet at its highest peak) as well as the valley of Jackson Hole and the winding Snake River. Arriving in late September, I was surprised to find several inches of fresh snow on the ground and temperatures several degrees below freezing.

#612roadtrip / Everglades National Park

During my recent road trip through Florida, I drove the Tamiami Trail through what is known as "Alligator Alley." I visited the Everglades National Park, where I rented a bike to explore the Shark Valley trail. The trail allowed me the opportunity to come within feet of some of the park's massive American Alligators and a wide range of birds.

#612CrossCountryRoadTrip / Monument Valley

On my recent trip across the country, during the drive west, I visited Monument Valley on the border of Utah and Arizona. Monument Valley embodied everything that I imagined "the American West" would be. Giant red rock formations rising hundreds of feet into the air and a view on the road that extends for miles and miles, showing undisturbed natural beauty that stretches as far as the eye can see. It's an iconic landscape featured in a number of movies by director John Ford, including 1939's "Stagecoach" starring John Wayne.
   This was my second visit to Monument Valley. It's a magical place, and I hope that I can experience it many more times in the future.
