Couple devotes year to seeing 59 national parks
PUBLIC LANDS – A Missouri couple that quit their jobs to visit all 59 major national parks in one year is in Washington this week during their sweeping journey of the country.
In this state, they are planning to visit their 40th, 41st and 42nd parks by visiting Mount Rainier, North Cascades and Olympic national parks.
KING-TV reports Cole and Elizabeth Donelson started planning for their adventure about two years ago.
They saved $30,000 and embarked on their adventure in August. The couple is about nine months into their trip.
The other goal of the trip is to inspire more millennials to get out and see the natural wonders of the country.
They’re blogging about the experience on their website, switchbackkids.com .
