Why do this?

7500 miles.
11 National Parks.
A Miata.

2023 trip I dubbed “the four corners”, though it is close to “the four states of the four corners” trip (a decidedly not-as-catchy name). After 1800 miles of driving to Colorado from Virginia, I arrived at Pikes Peak as my sight-seeing starting point. From there, 11 national parks and several astronomy sights of interest worth of mileage ensued. The trip was captured on my Fujifilm XT30II APS-C camera and a Fujinon 18 - 55mm zoom lens.
