If you go to the Buffalo Bill Museum, you can go right into the East entrance of Yellowstone Nat. Park around the loop and then go out the South entrance and into Grand Teton National Park. Exiting the South entrance of Grand Teton Park puts you right into Jackson Hole Wyoming.

Any of the national parks are spectacular, from Yellowstone to Teton. Washington and Oregon also have some great ones. Redwood forest, Mt. Rainier, Lewis and Clark and Crater Lake in Oregon, etc. All spectacular.

It'd be a shame to miss Glacier National Park on your way down from Calgary.

Down the west side of Waterton/Glacier parks passing Flathead Lake (get some Flathead cherries) to Big Fork, at Big Fork take 83 down the Swan River valley over McDonald Pass to Helena.

From Helena down highway 287 to Bozeman. Enter Yellowstone through the north entrance at Gardner, head south through the Norris basin to Madison, then go to Lake and shoot east across Fishing Bridge to Cody to hit the museums, don't forget the Winchester museum.

OR go out the south entrance to Jackson.

From either place head south Rock Springs and down to Vernal Utah. At Vernal Head east to Rocky Mountain Park, and then to Denver. Take I70 west from Denver to Canyon Lands Park, then south to the Grand Canyon.

Head East into California to Sequoia National Park, north to Yosemite. Then west to highway 101 north. You can hit the Hearst Mansion just north of San Francisco if you want. Head north along the coast into Oregon.

Decide if you want to leave 101 at Seaside Oregon and head to Portland. You can also take it all the way up around the Olympic peninsula to Seattle. Otherwise, dump off at Portland and head north to Mt. St. Helens, and up to Seattle.

If you stay on 101 up to the Olympic Peninsula you can catch the ferry at Port Angeles to Victoria on Vancouver Island. Wonderful place, but make reservations on the ferry before you get there. Drive up the island to Nanaimo, hit the wine country on the way. Get on the ferry in Nanaimo across to Vancouver.

That would be a hell of a trip. I have done most of it in pieces, and all of these places are worth a look.

Hearst Castle is South of San Francisco by 240 miles.

Shoot! You are right. We drove up to San Francisco from San Diego and stopped there. Not sure how I swapped north of LA for north of San Francisco.

Sorry, scratch that part from the trip.
