Smart Travel Guide to 13 National Parks in the Mountain West

Do you dream of standing beneath towering red rock arches, gazing at snow-capped peaks, or watching geysers erupt under a vast western sky? The Mountain West is home to some of the most iconic national parks in the world—and this guide is your ticket to experiencing them all like a pro.

“Explore 13 National Parks across Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and New Mexico—your ultimate Mountain West adventure awaits.”

As a lifelong “National Park junkie” who has visited all 59 U.S. National Parks (many of them dozens of times), I created this book to help you plan unforgettable adventures without the stress of guesswork.

What You’ll Discover Inside
🌄 Part 1: Essential Park Information
For each of the 13 Mountain West parks, you’ll get a brief description, location, size, and what makes it unique. I also include practical details like:
• Visitor center hours
• Entrance and camping fees
• Goods and services available in the park
• Pet policies
• Reservation and permit requirements
• Web links for reservations (including boats or planes)
• Wildlife to watch for
• Weather forecasts and best times to visit
• Helpful tips to make the most of your stay
🚙 Part 2: One-Day Adventures
Short on time? No worries. I’ve mapped out one-day itineraries for each park, so you can still capture the highlights. From scenic drives to quick but memorable hikes, you’ll see the best of each destination even on a tight schedule.
🗺️ Part 3: Two Epic 14-Day Park Hopper Plans
Ready for the adventure of a lifetime? This section lays out two logical, well-thought-out itineraries that let you experience multiple parks in a two-week road trip. Each plan balances sightseeing, camping, and hiking so you won’t feel rushed. To help hikers of all levels, I include three sets of hiking plans (easy, moderate, and complex), plus handy hiking tables for quick reference.
🌟 Part 4: In-Depth Guides to 7 Popular Parks

Why This Guide is Different
Lots of travel books touch on national parks, but this one is built on decades of firsthand experience. I know these places like I know my own ranch in Texas—and I’ve condensed all that knowledge into a guide that’s both practical and inspiring.
This isn’t just about logistics—it’s about helping you create memories: watching a sunrise over Bryce Canyon’s hoodoos, spotting bison roam in Yellowstone, or hiking through Glacier’s alpine meadows.
