This marks the (four months late) final post to our Summer 2018 Adventure. For our third and final park, we spent a day at Crater Lake NP. We arrived at the park late and stayed in the Mazama Campground within the park (campground information linked here). This is the only campground in the park that takes reservations. They have a store, laundry, and restaurant on site. The sites are fairly close to one another but, for convenience sake, it is a great location with lots of trees.

Is this post SUPER late? Yes. Is it still worth reading because Glacier National Park is a must see? Absolutely. After our afternoon in Banff we headed back to the US to visit Glacier National Park.  Glacier marks our 8th park in our fifty-nine park adventure.  While I was very sad to bid adieu to Canada, I was super excited to see Glacier.

We started our epic summer road trip at the tail-end of June 2018.  Clearly, this post, much like our trip itself, is delayed.  The post is delayed because of, well, life.  The trip was delayed because my husband and I may be Canada cursed.  In our seventeen years together, Ryan and I have driven to Canada exactly twice.  Both times, we have broken down on the same 50 mile stretch of I-5.  This time we were fortunate enough to have this happen with our three kids in tow.  I

For this trip, we spent several days in the east and west portions of Saguaro National Park and surrounding mountain area between Christmas and New Year, rounding us out at six parks visited in 2017.  While the belated nature of this post is a sad sight, this park is anything but. 

Generally speaking, our family functions as a "more is more," kind of group.  This may be because I tend to be a "more is more," kind of human in general.  Just ask my Mom and sister about the time we took a girls' trip to Hawaii and I allotted my sister forty-five (structured) minutes of pool time in between riding a glass bottom boat and a quick flea market run.  I had an itinerary.  I wasn't messing around.  That being said, on this trip, the Meyer family made history.  We took something off the itinerary during our trip.
