Hiking the USA: Welcome to Hiking The USA

The plan:
Myself and Louise plan on spending three months next summer (Early May - Lat July) hiking the national parks of the United States. We have already started purchasing items for the trip, only this week our fantastic tent (2006 MSR Mutha Hubba) arrived, and Louise got her sleeping bag (North Face Cat's Meow Sleeping Bag) about two weeks ago from MooseJaw and a very neat little gas cooker from JetBoil. More to get but we have nine month yet, so lots of time.

The trip will start from Las Vegas, mid way stop in San Francisco for a few days and finish in Seattle.

The parks included in the plan:

• Grand Canyon National Park
• Death Valley NP
• Sequoia NP
• Kings Canyon NP
• Yosemite NP
• Grand Teton NP
• Yellowstone NP
• Glacier NP
• Mount Rainier NP

So we will keep you updated via our new website www.hikingtheusa.com and our blog. We will have to drive between each national park with a rental car (4x4 Jeep if possible) so our next step is to work out which rental company is the best value and who has a drop off point near each national park entrance. should be fun.
