I am planning a 5 day trip. Where should I go. I have a friend in Miami, and a brother in Newport Beach, CA. I am not limited to those 2 places though. Where do you suggest?


Answer
I think I'd go to Minnesota and take a camping/canoeing trip up into the lakes...or Mount Rushmore...or Acadia National Park in Maine...the Durango & Silverton RR in Colorado...I've always wanted to go to all those places.

Some places that I've been that I'd highly recommend...Grand Teton NP, Yellowstone, Seattle, Washington DC, Key West, Cooperstown (NY), Gettysburg (PA), Steamtown USA (Scranton, PA), Cass Scenic RR (WV),...

Anyone know any good places to go primitive camping/backpacking?

I live in Dayton, OH, and am willing to travel up to 6 to 7 hours. I am not looking for a place that has rv's and pools and game rooms. I am looking to go backpacking for a day, and camp out in the woods with nothing but nature around me. It would be nice if there was water around.


Answer
Monongahela National Forest
