There’s no doubt that all of our favorite parks are out west. The problem with parks “out west” is that they’re all out west. Like way out west. The closest of the “out west” parks might be those around southwest Colorado and that’s 1500 miles away (which is 5 RV-days). So, we don’t do our favorite parks as often as we’d like.
