Alaska
Since 2006 I have been visiting a different place in Alaska each year, and hope to continue doing so.
2006: Wrangel/St Elias NP, Seward, and Valdez
2007: Homer and Kachemak Bay State Park
Late September 2011 saw me car camping at Mt Rainier National Park and doing the classic Panorama Point hiking loop in the Paradise area of Mt. Rainier National Park. We caught the timing perfect with wildflowers at their peak and a warm and mostly sunny day.
