Find Your Park!

So, how should we get out of this little conundrum? Well, did you know that the National Park Service is celebrating it's centennial . So, let's find our parks. The new travel plan. If they post a travel pic on Bing, I am so going there! Of course Crater Lake is in Oregon, so that means we'll need to re-rudder to Oregon.

Week 3: Canyonlands National Park, Utah (Shafer Trail Canyonlands)
Author and environmentalist Edward Abbey wrote that Canyonlands is "the most weird, wonderful, magical place on earth—there is nothing else like it anywhere." Sounds like our kind of place. We’ve rolled in to Canyonlands for Week 3 of Bing’s national parks road trip, ready for the weird, wonderful magic.
We’re steeling ourselves for the drive down Shafer Trail, shown here. The rough, unpaved road cuts a twisting path of switchbacks, steep inclines, and sheer drops of several hundred feet off the side of the road. In a four-wheel-drive vehicle with plenty of ground clearance, it can take 24 hours to navigate the trail below the Island in the Sky mesa. It then connects with White Rim Road, which winds another 100 miles of rough road through Canyonlands. This road trip’s getting hardcore.
What’s the craziest road you’ve ever driven? Let us know on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, where we'll be posting regular updates on our national parks road trip. And don't forget to check back on the Bing homepage each Friday to see our favorite photo from the park we’ll be visiting that week. Next up: Death Valley National Park. It’s going to be hot!
