[quote=Anonymous]I would suggest that unless two national parks are fairly close to each other, pick one park, especially if you don't like moving hotels. So, you can base yourself in Moab and do Arches and Canyonlands in one trip. Or, spend an entire week at Glacier.

Western national parks do involve a lot of driving, there's no way around that. They're so big, and often far from major metro areas. On the other hand, that's often what allows them to be big spectacular places.

The PP is right. Let go of doing things the "right" way and do what's best for your family.

We did a national park this summer and had to throw out our entire hiking itinerary. 110 degrees meant shorter, less strenuous, shaded hikes. Did we get to do the "crown jewel" hike in that park? Nope. Was that a bummer? A bit. But we still did some cool hikes, one of which we wouldn't have done at all if we did our original plan. You have to be willing to be flexible. if you get stuck on "everything has to go exactly as planned!" it will be disappointing.

Which parks do you want to go to? This is DCUM, I'm certain there's at least one person who can give feedback on any given national park.[/quote]
