I’ve spent quite a bit of time around Steamboat Springs and Ouray/Silverton/Telluride but also been to the Breckenridge/Keystone area a couple of times. I’ve visited mostly in the summer, but one of my goals is to learn how to snowboard (well) so I have more of an incentive to go during the winter. High on my California list are Palm Springs, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Napa, and about a million other places.Ĭolorado: I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Colorado as it was one of the states we traveled to most when I was a kid. I’ve done a bit of Socal including Disneyland, Laguna, the typical LA/Hollywood things, and San Diego but always in a bit of a whirlwind. I also want to visit Hot Springs (the National Park here looks amazing) and dig for diamonds at the Crater of Diamonds State Park.Ĭalifornia: I’ve made it a goal to up my blog coverage of California like I have for Florida because there are DOZENS of places I want to go in California. I’d like to spend some time in Little Rock to see the Clinton Presidential Library and the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site. I love Bentonville though! And I have been to a Razorbacks game (pig sooie!) and that seems like an Arkansas right of passage. I also keep hearing a lot about Huntsville so I’d like to check that out as well.Īrkansas: Despite being so close to Oklahoma, I haven’t done much in Arkansas yet except drive through on the way to somewhere else. A trip to Birmingham is high on my list as I’m a huge Southern Living fan and I’ve also heard that it’s one of the best places to shop for French antiques outside of France. Find all of my Hawaii posts here.Īlabama: This has been mostly a drive through (or overnight stop on a road trip) state for me on the way to Florida gulf coast, but I have spent a couple of days in the Orange Beach/Gulf Shores area. I’ve visited all six visitable islands: Oahu, Maui, Kauai, Hawaii, Molokai, and Lanai and I’ve written a lot about it. Hawaii: I lived on Maui for a while and spent my time exploring all of the different islands and then started this travel blog that was originally only about Hawaii so I’ve traveled back and forth to Hawaii a LOT. And I’ve got a list of Native American cultural sites that are maintained by certain tribes like the Cherokee complex in Tahlequah and the Chickasaw National Recreation Area in Sulphur. I’m spending more time in Oklahoma City since it has so much to offer, but I’m also planning trips to places farther from home like Broken Bow and the Wichita Mountains. But I’ve been making more of an effort to see and do things closer to home. Oklahoma: I’m born and raised in Oklahoma so I’ve done and seen a bit here, but like it often is wherever you’re from, you tend to spend your time just working and living and spend your travel time going to other places. I’ll keep this list updated, not just as I visit new states, but as I add more content to this blog for states that I’ve already visited (like I said before, I like to go back to places multiple times). In 2022, one of my big travel focuses is to drive the full Route 66 (all 2500 miles) from Chicago to LA which will bring visits to a few new states, but mostly visits to new areas of states I’ve already visited. It’s to actually spend time in each state (in multiple places especially if it’s a large state) and really get a feel for what that state is all about. I don’t have rules on what counts as a state visit, but my goal isn’t just to cross states off my list. Visiting all 50 states has always been a loose goal of mine, but when I started to plan out my travel schedule this year, I decided to really prioritize travel within the continental US and start picking away at travel to new states. I’ve always done more travel in the US than internationally, but I tend to be drawn back to the same places and there’s just soooo much to see in this country. How many national parks have you visited?Here' s a list of all 63 national parks in the United States.If there’s one thing that COVID taught me, it’s that there’s a lot to see closer to home.
