long story short we're road tripping across the great 50 and staying a few nights in Glacier Natl, MT, before getting into Seattle and eventually Vancouver. Ive done quite a bit of google searching but its always good to hear some first hand accounts; we're looking for chill parks, fun skateparks , good head shops , restaurants ect,. Fire away with anything that'll make our trip even better.

Go to Gasworks park in Seattle, pretty sweet views of downtown. There are a bunch of pretty good skateparks, one in greenlake, one under the evo store (think you might have to pay for this one), one in Northgate. Didn't really say what you were into but if you like to hike, the cascades are a gold mine.

You are road tripping across the U.S too see shitty community skate parks and head shops? Do you know what a national park is? Have you heard of hiking before?

When heading through Washington you have three highway choices, make sure you take highway 20, The North Cascade Highway, and bonus you will pop out of the mountains just below Mt Baker.

Stay on I-90 from Wisconsin until you reach Billings, MT. Spend a whole day hiking in Badlands National Park in SD. Downtown Sioux Falls is worth checking out for a few hours. Mount Rushmore can be done in an hour. Billings has really good really cheep craft beer. Pictograph State Park in Billings is worth checking out. You're also not too far from Yellowstone at that point which can be done in 2 days. Or if you don't want to do Yellowstone on this trip start heading north towards Glacier after Billings.

Black hills are way more dope than just mt rushmore....hmu op if you want ideas through the black hills.

Badlands are crazy and you can do a quick loop through there on the badlands loop....itll only take maybe 45 minutes out of your trip and well worth it.

Also Sturgis might be going on depending on when you head through sd. Go through there and check it out...crazy...but fun haha

This is more of an on the way thing but since i've made the drive on 80 through Nebraska on my way to CO (from Illinois) (MW REPRESENT) this would be a little place I hear is worth stopping by. It is called Lake McConaughy State Recreation Area in Ogalla, Nebraska. Its basically a nice little lake and you can pull your car up all the way to the beach and car camp there for a night or so.

In that case you probably want to go to Vancouver WA not BC.
