U.S. Travels

I have a personal goal to visit and hike every National Park in the United States. As of July 2001, I have been to 24 of the 54 existing parks. I would also like to, at some point, travel to all 50 of the states. I have 11 left.

The dots on the map below shows the places I have visited in the U.S. Purple dots represent places I have lived for longer than 6 months. Click on red dots to see photos. Or follow the links below.
