Touchdown! Greaser!
Ed, this is a very doable trip in a 180. 2500 nm. Go though Minot to Edmonton, then Prince George, up the trench and cross at Johnson Creek. You'll not need any oxygen altitudes.
Alaska would be good but kind of still fresh in my memory. I'm thinking some of back country Idaho/Montana. Or maybe go to Death Valley and then back country Utah. Idaho is cooler(temperature wise) though.Alaska Caravan? I think that's my trip for next year.

We once planned a trip to Yellowstone where we would be in a 172 and the other plane would be a 310. Now THAT is a mismatch! We just planned on getting an earlier start each day and they'd wait for us when they got to that night's destination! (Of course, we all wound up going in the 310, and Leslie and I both got some loggable multi time )I know it's doable in my plane, after all, it was delivered from the factory to Merrill Field in 1969. But it's not compatible with caravaning with a 182 unless Grant and Leslie want to fly at 58% power.
