1) Washington, D.C.<BR>2) Yellowstone/Tetons<BR>3) Grand Canyon <BR>4) Colorado<BR>5) New York<BR><BR>This means two visits, a 10-15 day trip divided between NY and DC and a 2-4 week circle drive covering Rocky Mountain National Park over to the southern Utah parks, down to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, then back through southern Colorado to Denver (or, if 3-4 weeks are available, up to Yellowstone/Tetons area).

Not to be picky or anything, but New York, or New York City, is not a sight. The Empire State Building is a sight. New York is a city.<BR><BR>Further, Maurice is asking for the top 5 of sights, not the following:<BR><BR>1. Empire State Building or Statue of Liberty.<BR>2. Grand Canyon, Grand Tetons or Grand Central Station<BR>3. Museum of Art or Museum of Transportation, and so on.<BR><BR>You're already up to 7 things and you're not even to number 4 yet! C'mon you bunch of nudniks, answer the question!

Paul Jul 22nd, 2002 12:42 PM

Grand Teton N.P.<BR>Glacier N.P.<BR>the reefs off the Florida Keys<BR>The Big Island (Volcanos N.P.)<BR>Anything without "city" or "Jersey" in the name

Paul Jul 22nd, 2002 01:01 PM
