This view of Diablo Lake certainly didn’t disappoint. I had been dying to see the North Cascades National Park complex for at least 15 years, so I was quite thrilled to finally check it out last month. Make no mistake—I’ll be back for more adventures.

Two weeks ago, I drove from Phoenix to Montana to see this vista at Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. It was an “orphaned” national park unit that I needed to mark off in my quest to visit all 417. Of course, I also visited Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Dinosaur, and Arches while I was passing by. But the point of the trip was to mark off Bighorn Canyon, my 375th national park.

It’s hard to capture the impressive Coal Mine Canyon in a single photo. It’s one of those places you really need to explore in person to best appreciate.
Hey buddy! Come back, where ya headed?
