Since 2016 is the centennial anniversary of the National Park Service, our Mountain Family celebrated in a major way. We took an epic road trip to visit some of the greatest outdoor wonders of the world.
Using the National Park to Park Highway as our guide we hiked, biked and camped our way through 18 iconic National Parks and 5 National Monuments of the West.
