    Never been to the west coast, but want to go to Yellowstone so bad, I know my daughter would love it.

    I am new to the PNW, just moving to Oregon from Ohio…so I don’t have a favorite yet! I am going to Silver Falls State Park this weekend!

    I have always loved the Mount Rainier National Park. It’s so beautiful there.

    We have not traveled West to the national parks but I have a daughter in AZ now and we’d like to go to the Grand Canyon National Park ! Planning a trip before fall if we can make it work.

  27. Leigh Anne Borders

    I have not been to the west yet but when I do I am going to visit the Grand Canyon.

  29. I’ve been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content
    as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.

    I haven’t been to any on the West coast but I would love to visit the Olympic National Park in Washington state and Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California.

  73. Hi would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re using?
    I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different web browsers and I
    must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a honest price?
    Cheers, I appreciate it!

  74. It’s appropriate time to make some plans for
    the longer term and it’s time to be happy. I’ve
    read this put up and if I may I desire to recommend you some fascinating
    issues or advice. Maybe you can write subsequent articles referring to this article.
    I want to read even more things approximately it!
