A few years ago my family and I embarked on a journey to visit all 63 National Parks and as many National Monuments as possible. We LOVE the National Park Service (NPS) and their sites because they are very well maintained, clean, accessible to people with a range of abilities, they are family friendly and they have bathrooms! Here is a very condensed list of some of our favorite National Parks and Monuments (so far) as well as our favorite hikes, sites, excursions, and more! MY #1 TIP when visiting any National Park is to make a stop at the Visitors Center to talk to a Ranger about things to do in the area and gather information about trail closures, etc.

Go have a blast if you make the effort to get off the farm!

My favorite Twin Cities weekend: a cheese-stuffed Jucy Lucy, a walk across the Stone Arch Bridge to the Mill City ruins, art at the Walker and Mia, then a loop around the lakes and over to St. Paul for Summit Avenue and Mickey's Diner.

Peru has a packing problem most lists ignore: PeruRail and Inca Rail cap you at roughly 5 kg and one small bag on the way to Machu Picchu, while Cusco mornings and Sacred Valley afternoons can swing 30 degrees. These picks solve both, with a soft duffel or daypack for the train, packing cubes to store the rest at your hotel, and layers that handle altitude without bulk.
