Title: Re: What's the rush? Post by GeneM on May 29th, 2009 at 10:27pm
4 weeks all in one shot... There is plenty of room in Q to spend the whole time there and not cross your path once.
Last year my wife and I did a 30 day trip for our 3oth anniversary. We left out of Beaverhouse and did a meandering loop all over the park. I started with a whole trip plan - where we would go, stay, layover, etc. Typical guy thing. We made it to the middle of Cirrus our first day and said, Wow we have 30 days in the park, where do we go from here. We ended up decompressing for 3 nights at that campsite. Then we headed for Pickerel and when we got there, we said what's the rush, we have 30 days to see the park. After another layover day, I said, let's throw out the plan and just take what comes. It took me 5 days to get to that point. We ended up traveling about 1/2 the time. We ended up camping in 15 different spots in 30 days. It was a wonderful trip with a wonderful mix of how we spent our time traveling and resting and just taking it all in. If we wouldn't have had kids, work, other responsibilities, ect. to contend with, we could have just kept on going. We hated to come home. It was amazing how my perspective changed over the 30 days, from hurry up and lets get there, to, we're here, what's the rush. Now my problem is that our normal 2 week trip just doesn't seem long enough. I just have to figure out how to do a month every year. GeneM |
