Late 70s, 80s and early 90s. The Gorge was my home away from home. Now it feels like I'm on a leash. There's a cave I like. Path not beaten down. Plus if you don't know where to turn. You walk right over cave and don't realize it. Forget something. Round trip cave to car and back. 2 1/2 hours give or take. Hiking without gear.

Since you have traveled to most/all states, can you give me advice? I am planning to go on my first solo trip in Oct. I live in CT and I don’t want my trip to be too close nor too far from home. I’ve traveled through New England so I don’t want to stay around here on this trip. I love hiking, nature, cafes, cozy bookstores, old fashioned general stores, local handmade arts, good restaurants, bakeries and quaint towns. Can you recommend a few towns for me to go to that are safe, beautiful and have some of the stuff I’m into? I’m not into the nightlife, drinking, boring museums or tourist traps. I don’t want to go to FL, SC, GA, TN, AL, etc or anywhere in the west coast since it’s too far. The farthest I want to go is SD. Thank you & keep up the great work 💕

@AmericasParks Жыл бұрын

Would love to help, but I kind of stay away form all the towns. Did you see my Blue Ridge Parkway videos? That would be a really nice drive in October. And the Black Hills of South Dakota are incredible. Would highly recommend that as well. How about a drive around Lake Michigan?

@ivi122 Жыл бұрын

@@AmericasParks Those are great suggestions…but I was thinking of taking a plane and then maybe renting a car at my destination. I’ve done almost half of the Blue ridge parkway in the Virginia side about 6-7 years ago but it was in August so we didn’t see the foliage there. I just didn’t want to take a road trip for my solo trip. I don’t love driving 😆 usually my husband drives when we take road trips. I didn’t think SD would be great to visit but I’ve heard ppl raving about the Black hills so now I’m curious. Thank you for your advice. I really value it

All of that rock is petrified wood. You're walking and crawling on massive ancient fallen petrified trees. The arches are formed from rotted out knot holes.
