Backpacking Glacier National Park
Backpacking Glacier National Park
Ideas for a trip for my friends and I next summer?

My friends and I always go on a trip somewhere cool over the summer and right now we're all researching potential ideas.

For example the last three trips we made were:
A biking trip across Wisconsin
A horseback riding trip in Wyoming
A backpacking trip in Glacier National Park in Montana

I'm just brainstorming right now so any ideas are welcome.

. Kayak the Colorado River, Grand Canyon
. Mountain climb in the rocky mountains
. Cave exploring in Louisiana. Crystal Cave, you can take what you find [:
. There's a waterfall, Dunns, that you can climb in Jamaica, but that means paying for air fare... I climbed it though, gotta tell you, it's a challenge. Lots of fun.
. Road trip across Cali
. Jetski the coast of Cali aha
. Lava watching in Hawaii, you can climb the volcanoes in one park I think
. Travel across the east coast of Canada and go inward. My dad and I were going to do that. We live in Jersey, we were going to go up through Maine, take the ferrie into Canada, and then 4wheel drive across a portion of Canada, go home by Niagara into NY.
. Cape Cod, Cape May, visit some capes.
. Something in Alaska? They have a trail, they cut off the end of it because it's too dangerous, but your allowed to go a longg way on it. My dad and I are planning that in the future years. I'm sorry I don't know the name of the trail though.
. There's an AMAZING park in Carolina, I forget if it's North or South, it's Uarie Park (sp?). You can bring ATVs, cars, trailers, horses, anything to the park and use their woods, camping grounds, lake, courts, and trails. It's so much fun, I go down every summer with my dad. It's crazy fun. There's one trail that is the BEST when it rains because it gets a hugee mud puddle. I'm seriously blanking on which Carolina it is though.

anything like that?
