Welcome to the West!
Soarpheat (great name!), You will love the west. I hope you are not experiencing altitude sickness because you are going to be going much higher. If you would like some hints to great places to visit as you travel the Western parks, I am willing to suggest. For example: In Colorado, assuming you are heading for Rocky Mt. National Park, you will want to see the Mesa Verde National Park, travel the Million Dollar Hwy from Durango to Ouray (you'll find a saloon in Silverton); visit the Black Canyon of the Gunnison near Montrose, go west to Grand Junction and the Colorado Nat. Monument or go east to Pike's Peak at Colorado Springs. By the way you missed some great things in New Mexico, or maybe you will catch them on your way home: Carlsbad Caverns is a must see, Alamagordo's White Sands NM--wow, dont' forget your sun glasses here; Bandelier NM near Santa Fe; El Moro NM west of Albuquerque. There is so much more to see in all the western states. Enjoy!
