This is the travelogue of a trip we had been dreaming about for many months. When we began preparing it, we had nothing but a dream. It took a pretty long time to organize the whole project but it was worth it.

We reserved all our lodges and rented our car by internet. We bought our airplane ticket at our usual travel agency.
To prepare the trip, we read a few travel guides and utilized software. By clicking on the links you can read our reviews of the travel guides or the software.

The aim of the trip was to have a close contact with Nature. That's why we spent the largest amount of time in the American Natural Parks. Here you can give a look at a short summary of all the hikes we had during our trip.

Some further information to make the reading easier.
The travelogue is organized by main stops and not by days. This is why you can read about the same day in two different stops.
Miles are just those driven from the departure to the arrival. For example, when we spent three days moving between Mariposa and Yosemite that mileage was NOT counted.
The final total number of actually driven miles is 4141, 1091 more than the other number.
