Are you looking for something within driving distance of your current location, or looking to fly then drive?
Either or really. The travel there is no issue. I have miles or if it's close enough I will drive.

ou could start at Great Smoky Mountain, drive Blue Ridge Parkway to Shenandoah, or just spend a weekend in GSMNP.
I have done the GSM once when I was a child. This would be a good one to revisit and hit Shenandoah and the Blue Ridge.

You could use Rapid City as a base and go east to Badlands, south to Wind Cave and Mt Rushmore.
I've been to Mt. Rushmore but none of the others.

You could probably knock out Bryce and Zion in a 3 day weekend they are so close together, and the high points of Bryce are easily accessible by car/shuttle and doable in a day.
I actually did Bryce, Zion, and Mt. Rushmore in the same trip. It was about a week long. Made sure to hit all the good hikes in Zion and spent a day in Arches as well.
So far I have been to:
Sand Dunes
Tetons
Yellowstone
Hot Springs
Smokies
St. John
Grand Canyon
Rockies
White Sands
Everglades
Capitol Reef
Arches
Some were when I was younger so I'd like to revisit, like Capitol Reef or the GSM
I really just want something that I can tackle over a 3 day period. Hit the top hikes, things to do, etc. Some of these just seem too big and have so much to offer it seems like a waste not spending a full week to get the most out of the trip.

Olympic is pretty awesome and Mt. Rainer is near there. But it’s a day of traveling so not a short trip unfortunately
