10,830 feet of elevation gained
2,000 miles driven
60 miles hiked
3 national parks
1 trip Iāll cherish forever šļø
From sleeping in the car and waking up surrounded by mountains, to long drives, early trail mornings, and more āis this even real?ā moments than I could count - this trip was everything I hoped it would be and moreš«¶š¼āØ
