best camping site in jasper image
Q. And what would you do when you got there?
Answer
I move out in 9 days to hit the road and see the Oregon and Washington Coasts (especially backpacking to Point of Arches in Olympic National Park), Rainier National Park, Glacier National Park, Banff and Jasper, Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, Bryce and Zion National Parks, the Grand Canyon (I'd like to backpack to Havasu Falls), and I'd like to backpack abuot 19-20 miles in to Precipice Lake in Sequoia National Park (site of Ansel Adams' "Frozen Lake and Cliffs"). I'll probably swing through Crater Lake, Yosemite, Great Sand Dunes, and Rocky Mountain National Parks along the way, as well as quite a few National Monuments such as Colorado and Escalante-Grand Staircase. I'd like to catch Fall Colors from Wyoming to Colorado, and continue on to White Sands, then come back via Mesa Verde, Canyon de Chelley, Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon, The Wave, Death Valley, etc.
I have a new Canon 40D on the way and I'll be taking tens of thousands of photographs. I'd like to produce photo essay style articles on the impacts of climate change on the various ecosystems that I visit.
I've been buying a lot of Lonely Planet Bluelist and "1001 pallces you must visit before you die" type books lately, and I considered international trips to Peru/Bolivia/Chile/Argentina and China/Tibet/Cambodia/Laos/Burma, perhaps with India Tibet, Mongolia, New Guinea, Turkey or Namibia thrown in, but going on a domestic "off the grid" trip instead will have less impact, does not directly fund growth in developing nations (although my tent was manufactured in China), and I can document impacts "closer to home" for Americans.
Drop me a line and I can send you sample detailed itineraries, and links to some sample photos of what I'll be seeing. For example, Mark Rasmussen's Lightchase Photography offers a number of excellent tours. Although they often require booking a year or more in advance, the photos alone make his site worth visiting.
I keep a list of places I want to go in MS-Word and Iately I've been researching the best seasons to go (generally when its not too rainy), using historical weather averages on Weather.com. I need to start redeeming frequent flier miles before the redemption levels are increased dramatically due to rising fuel costs (then I should switch to an REI credit card so I'm less tempted to fly).

Where's a good place to travel to from Los Angeles ?
Benz
I finished school and i want to travel with my family to somewhere thats reasonably priced. Not somewhere that is near, like Las Vegas or Palm Springs. But maybe overseas or to the east coast somewhere. somewhere that if i spent 2 weeks there i would not be bored.Not a camp ground either. Also it would appreciate it if you would you could give me good sites to look for vacation areas. Not like yahoo tavel or a travel agent but good sites that you have had experience with. I love cruises, the ocean and wanted to go to Australia, but i want the place you suggest to be reasonable and worth going too. Thanks alot =)

I would suggest British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies. First go to Vancouver (2-3 days, cool), then visit Whistler (2-3 days , great stuff), then go on to Jasper (2-3 days) and then Banff (5-6 days) ... The area is amazingly beautiful. Weather in summer is warm and hot. You can swim, kayak, hike and do whatever else ...
