    Well sorry for the delay but I have been a little busy since I got back. The trip was awesome 2587 miles driven, 9 parks in total, 130 miles hiked, 20 miles mountain biked, and maybe 18 miles of trail running in 14 days (13 spent in a tent). Saw some incredible sights and had an amazing time with my brother. Here are some pics doing them full images because they are too beautiful not to be large.


    Glacier National Park

    That last photo of Wyoming almost looks like a painting with the colours. Awesome pictures and obviously a great trip.
