2023 American Rockies and the American West

 In the "it's almost never too early to think about the next trip (or in this case, the trip after that)" category, the early favorite is a long trip to New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. Getting out there just after the snow clears at the upper elevations will keep the temperatures down, and might help with crowd control as well.

Alaska 2022

Under the theory that it's never (really) too early to plan complex trips, I restarted the planning for the Alaska 2022 trip this past weekend. This trip has some tricky reservations, and I'm assuming that the demand for Alaska trips will be very heavy in 2022 (given the scarcity of supply in 2020 and 2021). High demand places like Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, and Denali National Park all require reservations a year in advance. Some other remote locations also demand early attention.

So, to get working on the trip details early, I sketched out the route out and back, and are more-or-less ready to go with reservations when June rolls around. I'll be executing one trip while planning the next. Nothing like a little concurrency!

Haze

The skies above Northern Virginia take on a whiteish haze every summer, and this year is no exception.
