I'm getting a vibe that another is due.
Road trip throughout the West. Maybe a month or three. Small, self-contained camper capable of mild off-road use.
My life-time pass for National Parks just came in the mail!
Advice?

Like the DQ ad says "go west young man". I have been in the west since about 1984 and even though we are in the Prairies we are a four drive from the mountains.
I am more familiar with the Canadian Rockies especially Jasper to the west and Banff to the south west. July and August are a little too busy with tourists. My favorite times are June and early September. June probably has too much snow for alpine hiking but early September is likely good.
Waterton Nat'l Park in the south of Alberta is spectacular too. Across the border to the south is Glacier National Park. The Hwy to the Sun is a great drive but you need to watch for early snow in the season(open when I forget).
This is just scratching the surface....
