    Fellow Backpackinglight outdoor compadres! I'm going to take a long (epic) road trip with a friend of mine this summer and would love your suggestions! The plan is to buy a truck in Alaska, throw our gear in it, and work our way down from Alaska to Utah. Our schedule is pretty flexible given we'll have a truck and nothing is finalized, but here's what we're thinking. If you have any must-sees we'd love to hear em! We generally like adventures, getting away from crowds, amazing scenery, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, etc. Any tips you guys can offer will go a long way, I promise! (Note: I hope I'm posting this in the right forum!)

    Here's the plan:
    – June (Alaska)
    * Bike the entire park road in Denali Nat'l Park
    * Kayak the Savonoski loop in Katmai Nat'l Park
    * Hike and kayak in Kenai Fjords Nat'l Park
    * Visit Glacier Bay Nat'l Park

    – July (British Columbia / Alberta)
    * Mountain bike north shore of Vancouver
    * Visit Banff Nat'l Park
    * Drive through the Icefields highway

    – August (Washington / Idaho / Wyoming / Montana)
    * Climb Mt Rainier
    * Mountain bike in Ketchum, ID
    * Backpack Yellowstone Nat'l Park
    * Backpack Glacier Nat'l Park

    – September (Colorado / Utah)
    * Mountain bike all that Colorado has to offer
    * Visit Black Canyon of the Gunnison Nat'l Park
    * Visit Great Sand Dunes Nat'l Park
    * Mountain bike in Moab
    * Hike and canyoneer in Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef Nat'l Parks

    We'll be documenting/filming the entire trip so I'll be sure to post this once we're done for you all to see!
