A few favorites.

Trips we love, shot on our own phones. They're examples, not the menu. Don't see your spot? We plan all 50 states + Canada.

Utah · Zion & Arches

Red rock, two parks, one famous ridge.

The chains on Angels Landing, the view from the top, and the walls above Emerald Pools, with Delicate Arch to round it out. This could be your Utah.

Kevin to add: best season, how Zion and Arches fit together, routes and permits (Angels Landing runs on a permit lottery), park entry reservations if any, the backups we planned, and where we stayed.

Washington coast.

Pacific Northwest · Washington & Oregon

Where the forest meets the surf.

Sea stacks off the Quileute coast, basalt canyons on the dry side of the state, and mountain lakes at sunset. This could be your Pacific Northwest.

Kevin to add: which parks and trails, best season, tides for the coast walks, the Oregon side, the backups we planned, and where we stayed.

Canada · Banff National Park

Ice on the lake, snow in the trees.

Montana · Glacier National Park

Turquoise lakes in autumn.

Red huckleberry slopes, golden larches, and a lake the color of a swimming pool far below the trail. Many Glacier and the high country, in fall.
