That's a lot of places! Was this planned, or did it just kind of happen naturally in a life of travelling?

The western parks are mostly from living in various places up and down the West Coast. The eastern parks came from various road trips. I like to think that the most obscure park I've visited is North Cascades because you can only get there by driving down a very long dirt road or by hiking several miles from the highway. Most people have only visited Ross Lake National Recreation Area (which is where the visitor center and campgrounds are located)
