Four quick possible destinations:
  1. Seattle, Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, North Cascades National Park, San Juan Islands, Olympic National Park, Ho Rain Forest, Victoria/Vancouver British Columbia.
  2. Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and Glacier National Parks, All of Montana Wyoming and Idaho in between.
  3. Blue Ridge Parkway. Great Smokey Mountains National Park. Start in North Carolina and work your way north. Could also pick up Charleston, SC or maybe Outer Banks, NC. But great waterfalls and scenery. I have been to the Brevard, North Carolina area once and want to go back.
  4. Arizona/Southern Utah. I can't even begin to talk about all the opportunities...ok, I'll start, Sedona AZ, Antelope Slot Canyons/Horseshoe Bend (Page AZ), Monument Valley AZ, Bryce, Zion, Arches, Canyonlands, and Grand Canyon National Parks. The "Wave" in Az. Could land in Phoenix or Las Vegas.



Just a few thoughts...all four have mountains. 1 and 3 have ocean as well.
