Hey guys, I'm looking for some trail hiking recommendations. My wife and I have finalized our park intinerary for our first western US excursion. We are white water rafting in southern CO, then off to visit Mesa Verda, the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, up to Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, then down to Rocky National/Estes Park. Due to a variety of reasons we will be primarily car camping and I'm looking for day hike recommendations on the various trails offered at these various parks. I'd love to hear any personal experiences, cautions, and recommendations. We a planning to do several hikes at each of these parks throughout our trip.
For those of you who want to know (all of you), here is the short version of our day hiking kits:
Pygmy Falcon II (for me)
10x4 Bottle Holder with attached Cocoon (for her)
RAT RC-4 (for me)
RAT Izula (for her)
Gerber folding saw
Gerber Diesel multitool
Plenty of Nalgenes for water
Poncho for shelter
Camera w/case
Standard survival and first aid kits including fire, signaling, navigation, and safety.
Bandanas
I'll stop here. Thank you in advance for any trail recommendations.
