ROAD TRIP SEASON is likely to be extended this year, if for no other reason than there isn’t much else to do. Should a national parks trip across the western United States be on your radar, we urge you to reconsider. Or at least consider adding another stop to the itinerary. These national monuments are equally beautiful, and often less crowded, and you won’t have to sacrifice the world-class recreational activities for which our protected lands are known. Get out there and experience these stunning national monuments, which are surprisingly close to some of the country’s most popular national parks.
