Hey folks, first time poster, long time lurker here.
I am planning a road trip from June to December, with the aim to visit as many national parks and places of interest as possible, and climb a few mountains of course. I was looking for some recommendations to add to the list, and also to start planning our route more seriously.
So far, this is what we have:
-Maine: Katahdin
-Wyoming: Middle Teton (maybe Grand, we will see)
-Idaho: Borah Peak
-Utah: King's Peak
-Washington: Mt. Rainier (again, we will see, depends on many factors. My partner has a friend who is an adventure guide in Washington, if they have the time, we would attempt it with them)
Looking for some recommendations along those lines, nothing too technically complicated (Class 3 for the most part), but interesting, challenging and engaging summits. Rainier, if we do attempt it, would be the most ambitious climb I have attempted. For the most part, my hiking and summiting has been confined to the Northeast (with a few weeks in the Dolomites), but I would like to change that and push myself a little. I am in ok physical condition (have run 4 marathons in the last 3 years, but the past few months I've let myself go a little), and have recently joined a climbing gym to train for this upcoming road trip.
Any help would be much appreciated!
