Hey fellow Nexians! In 2015 I did quite a bit of traveling by my self as well as with a few friends. I drove my car several thousand miles for a few months at a time and visited friends and camped out. For the most part I stayed in National Forests which are free to camp in. I wanted to share a list of all the ones I visited with you guys and see if anyone has been to the same ones or has been to others that I should check out! Nature is a very important thing in my life and I think it should be in everyones. You should not have to pay to enjoy it and National Forests are a great way to do that! Manistee (MI) Roosevelt (CO), Arapaho (CO), San Isabel (CO), Gunnison (CO), Grand Mesa (CO), Rio Grande (CO), Pike (CO) Medicine Bow (WY) Black Hills (SD) Nebraska (NE), Samuel R. McKelvie (NE) Shawnee (IL) Daniel Boone (KY) Cherokee (TN) Nantahala (NC), Pisgah (NC) Sumpter (SC), Francis Marion (SC) Osceola (FL, Apalachicola (FL) Conecuh (AL), Talladega (AL), Tuskegee (AL) Homochitto (MS), De Soto (MS) Kisatchie (LA) Sabine (TX), Angelina (TX), Sam Houston (TX), Davy Crockett (TX) Mark Twain (MO) I hope to be going to a lot more this year! Hopefully some of you can share some cool places to go or will get inspired to check out a forest close to you. “How long will this last, this delicious feeling of being alive, of having penetrated the veil which hides beauty and the wonders of celestial vistas? It doesn't matter, as there can be nothing but gratitude for even a glimpse of what exists for those who can become open to it.” ― Alexander Shulgin, Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story

You were in my neck of the woods at one point, a few I have been to and one I go to a couple times a year for a weekend of back packing. Anyways sounds like it was a good time with friends, and I would say they are all probably worth seeing

I have never gone camping. Now that I can afford it, I think that I will try to take some time and enjoy my beautiful state via the nearest National Forest.

+1 for the Adirondacks Letchworth State Park (NY) is also quite amazing (pic below). It's beautiful in the fall and has some nice waterfalls. Its gorges! There is some other amazing stuff in NY on the way to both of them as well, like Howe Cavern and Watkins Glenn. universecannon attached the following image(s): ![](/forum/themes/DMT-Nexus/icon_file.gif) Letchworth-State-Park_54_990x660.jpg (303kb) downloaded 212 time(s).![](/forum/themes/DMT-Nexus/icon_file.gif) howe cavern.jpg (33kb) downloaded 212 time(s).![](/forum/themes/DMT-Nexus/icon_file.gif) Watkins-Glen.jpg (465kb) downloaded 212 time(s).

I'm LOVING all the pictures! I have been gone for some time now and thought I would update this thread and everyone on the Nexus about my travels. I think DMT has made me far more connected with nature than I ever could have imagined and travelling to some of the most beautiful places in the U.S. has only made that connection deeper. I share mostly in hopes that it will inspire others to get out and experience all the beauty this great planet has to offer! I have been doing a similar style of travelling for the past several months. Still going to National Forests but also going to several National Parks. I'll share pictures as soon as I can but for now I wanted to update the list! San Bernardino (CA), Cleveland (CA), Angeles (CA), Sequoia (CA), Sierra (CA), Stanistlaus (CA), Eldorado (CA), Tahoe (CA), Plumas (CA), Lassen (CA), Modoc (CA), Six Rivers (CA), Mendocino (CA), Los Padres (CA) Kaibab (AZ), Coconino (AZ), Prescott (AZ), Coronado (AZ) Bighorn (WY), Shoshone (WY) Gallatin (MT), Custer (MT), Helena (MT) Lewis and Clark (MT), Flathead (MT), Kootenai (MT) Lolo (MT) Beaverhead-Deerlodge (MT) Bitterroot (MT), Kaniksu (ID), Couer d'Alene (ID), St. Joe (ID), Salmon-Challis (ID), Sawtooth (ID), Caribou- Targhee (ID) Dixie (UT), Fishlake (UT), Wasatch-Uinta (UT) Also was fortunate enough to go to quite a few parks as well. These were some of the most incredible places I have ever seen. Badlands (SD), Yellowstone (WY), Glacier (MT), Zion (UT), Yosemite (CA), Redwood (CA), Sequoia and Kings Canyon (CA), Lassen Volcanic (CA), Joshua Tree (CA), Channel Islands (CA), Grand Canyon (AZ), Saguaro (AZ), Death Valley (AZ), Bryce Canyon (UT). Hope to post pictures within the week! I am still travelling headed back across the country. Hopefully I will still see some awesome stuff! Anyways I hope you all can find some nature close to where you are and get out and experience it! Its all around us but quickly getting taken away so enjoy it while you can. “How long will this last, this delicious feeling of being alive, of having penetrated the veil which hides beauty and the wonders of celestial vistas?

But honestly when im there during peak times that's how I see the place, more or less. Glaciers did the beautiful carving. The colors of the water and greenery 'can' really be that vibrant..

I can only imagine how beautiful the PNW is out that way. Never have been out there ...one day though. Your guys area out there is several levels above our areas out here hehe. The 2nd and 3rd pictures i've climbed all around. And the 3rd and 4th, when there's good rains, that area fills up and is realatively blue [not AS blue as those pics, though blue nonetheless]. [Below is some pictures I took a year or so back] The one was pretty good distance up, climbed much of the day, and the other with the downed log was fun, cool caves to explore after crossing that]. ○ attached the following image(s): ![](/forum/themes/DMT-Nexus/icon_file.gif) grnz2.jpg (494kb) downloaded 103 time(s).![](/forum/themes/DMT-Nexus/icon_file.gif) grnz22.jpg (457kb) downloaded 103 time(s).
