#45 Gateway Arch National Park, St Louis, MO
Who knew the arch was a national park? This is the final trip in our camper. We skipped 4 parks due to weather/planning and 12 that are located outside of the contiguous US. We will make plans to visit those in the next couple of years.

#43 New River Gorge National Park in Fayetteville, WV
This is the newest national park, established in 2020. The bridge is massive and shaved 45 minutes off of crossing the river. We also toured ghost coal mining towns.

I’m sure this park is much more beautiful in the late spring/summer, but all the foliage was ugly brown during our visit.

#40 Great Smoky Mountain National Park in western NC and eastern TN. I’m sure this park is much more beautiful in the spring and summer, when the trees have green leaves. The “smoke” is really fog.

#38 Everglades and #39 Biscayne National Parks. Aaron hated Florida, the heat, humidity, and traffic. I disliked the mosquitos, all 40+ species found me. Our next stop is Atlanta!

#37 Hot Springs National Park in Hot Springs, AR
We enjoyed a traditional bath package at 100+ year old Buckstaff Bath house. It included a soak in a large bathtub, a steam sauna in a metal cabinet, butt soak in a sitz tub and resting on a table with hot and cold packs.

We had fun in Texas visit family and friends. While Aaron didn’t get to fulfill his lifelong dream of hanging out with Chip Gaines, he did get to visit the Silos and eat at Magnolia Table.
