Wow, you get to see 7 National Parks all along one highway? I'm thinking about doing this trip this summer! I do photography, so I bet there are a ton of beautiful scenes to capture along this route. I especially have been wanting to visit the Grand Canyon for some time now so that would be a great place to start this adventure!
