I would do that hike again, for sure.
Dan,

That's A GREAT Question?

BUT - as Usual that's an even Greater PICTURE!

Think that's enough to get me to Add it to My List, difference is My View will more than Likely be from that Road you see down at the Bottom. -

With all the Places and Images you have - think you have to have more than One?

The Burning Man Association bought the ranch (or at least the geyser) and the Friends of Black Rock now offers both day & overnight tours, but only in the summers when I'm still in the northeast. I probably should leave for my winter stay in Arizona a month or two early!
Jon,

Your Images and Trips, like Dan's, are an Inspiration to many, It's interesting that You tend to spend your Summers in Oswego - Only been there Twice so other than Having Fish and Chips at Rudy's - seeing those hills of Ice being blown in off the Lake and Being impressed with the potential of Sunset RV park - Think that the "Joke" I remember was that local said Don't miss Summer, it's the 4th of July - Short - But Beautiful.

Many of your trips/hikes are off the Beaten Trail to spots few have even Heard of Much less Seen. Hope you will continue with the Professional Images and being an Inspiration to so many.

Put together a little more of a List and Share - many here will appreciate it.

Thanks,

Bill

Sometimes it is nice to have a little "Extra" time to search for those spots along the way we might have missed. That light we are seeing is not a Train but Hopefully the End of the Tunnel.

It has been My experience in traveling these states, that The Season in these areas can often extend well into the Fall and in the Case of Utah , even the Winter so.....with a little Luck not all is Lost, and actually may still be a Great Adventure!

Best of Luck,

We have spent time in all the OP’s spots except #4 (Ashfield) and #6 (Canyon de Chelly). #6 is on our “gonna see” list though. We are another family lucky enough to have wandered around a lot of the west for many, many years. These days we do more “themes” than places, though we are looking forward to our Alaska trip (cancelled this year). I want to circumnavigate the Great Lakes, follow the fur trade routes from Minnesota Grand Portage to the west coast, spend time along the gold rush sites in California, follow the parts of the Oregon and California trails we haven’t finished, and do a deep dive into “Indian country” along I40 (named after the old AAA map). And when we finish those, I am sure there are dozens of areas left we haven’t seen or want to see again.

With the exception of 3 and 7 on my list none of the others were done in an RV. They were either from car camping or bicycle touring.

Even if not in the RV it's - IMHO - Still part of Life's Adventure.

We have a few serious Cyclers in the Nephew Pool - Their idea of a quick ride before Dinner at the Family reunion is to head out for a Quick 30 miles in and Hour at the Beach - that's moving even on the bikes they ride.

I remember after visiting Reno when in my 20's that it would likely be an Interesting place/stop for a year or so before Marriage.

The Lake is Beautiful, just need to Live on the Nevada side, then you can live well on the Taxes you Save

Done all of your list except #6. Some of the rest multiple ties.

We would go back to Alaska for trip #5 in a heartbeat. No trip north is complete without serious time spent in Canada doing the Canadian Rockies & Yukon.

Doing trip #2 to Newfoundland would also be under serious consideration.

To get this to only 10 is beyond difficult. So I am going to cheat. Some places are regions containing many places. This trip would be several months long.

1. Glacier NP
2. Mt. St. Helens
3. San Francisco
4. Western South Dakota (from the Mammoth dig north to Devil's Tower NM). East to the Badlands including the Minute Man Missile NHS.
5. Mackinaw Island
6. Creation Museum, The Ark
7. Gettysburg
8. The 4 corners area (all 4 states)
9. Arches NP
10. Arizona (yea, all of it)

There is a bunch still left out. The DW can no longer hike, so except for Glacier, hiking excursions are no longer possible.

I see in # 8 you are including all four states ( Colorado - Utah - New Mexico - Arizona - Then you list Arches which is in Utah - then all of Arizona - which is in the Four Corners - so by Rule you have 2 more Choices - -

I make the rules -

It amazes me how many have missed Canyon de Chelly - as it is truly Special, as is Monument Valley.

And both are just So Easy as they work so well in the Winter.

Hi Busskipper,
My all 4 states in #8 refers to the area around the 4 corners in all 4 states not the entire state. So there remains 10.

Just trying to give you a little more room with the Rules........As you can tell by MY Number's 1-3, I take big liberties with Geographic Areas - No real Limits. -

My trip is just over 24 months continuous.

Thanks for contributing,
