One highway, Six National Parks
On August 25th of 1916, the National Park System was conceived. Truth be told our area is so wealthy in national parks that one highway, U.S.89, connects five of them making each a world unto itself. The 1,400-mile highway extends into a roadway of amazing magnitude, bookended by the ice-cut pinnacles of Montana’s Glacier National Park and the symphonic gap of the Grand Canyon.
This particular road trip starts from Grand Canyon National Park. Layered bands of red rock revealing millions of years of geological history. Pick your rim, South or North; both have spectacular views.
Zion & Bryce
National parks formed by red rocks created differently and separated less than 75 miles apart in southern Utah. Narrow canyons and virgin rivers bring life to Zion national park whereas red rock rave puts multicolor layers all over Bryce National park.
Next stop on our map is Yellowstone National Park. Home of Yellowstone Caldera. This super volcano is responsible for some spectacular sites all around the park. There’s no park that will bring out your inner interest for geology more than Yellowstone. Surrounded by natural hot springs, geysers, and grand prismatic springs.
Located south of Yellowstone, Grand Teton occupies a majority of the Jackson Hole Valley, this park is home to massive mountains, pristine lakes, and wildlife. Grand Teton is one of the most visited National Park in the US. 12 awe-inspiring glaciers are located inside park.
Our last stop on this road trip is Glaciers National Park. The park has more than 25 glaciers that are more than 500 years old. Sculptural power of natural ice at the finest. Glacier brings out the alpine vibe and environment in Northern United States.
Make sure to check out all cool trails through out this road trip and make great memories.
