Clue #1 - Get rooted.
If you can find the tallest giant in the land, you'll find that the million will lie to the East.
Answer #1- Hyperion, Redwood tree, Redwood National Forest, California
Clue #2 - Where the West expands.
The million will lie somewhere to the west of a monumental gateway to the West. The famous landmark is represented in this equation.
y = A (cosh X over L C -1)
x = L over C [cosh-1(1+y over A)]
Where, A = fc over Qb over Qt -1 = 68.7672
C = Cosh -1 Qb over Qt = 3.0022
Answer #2 - The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. So, that puts the million East of Hyperion and West of the Gateway Arch.
Clue #3 Kick back in a peaceful place.
If you want a chance to claim the million, you'll have to head South of the first shared international, national park of its kind.
Answer #3 Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park in West Glacier, MT.
CLUE #4 - One Rare Critter -
This once endangered southwestern isopod is naturally found in only one thermal spring and shares its name with the county it lives in. Like this animal, the million will be found in only one spot. And to find it, you'll have to look further North.
ANSWER #4 - North of Sedillo Spring in Socorro County in New Mexico.

I gotta work it into all the other clues and see where that takes me

Million-Dollar Road
Public Domain
Project type: Roads, highways and bridges, Utilities and Infrastructure
New Deal Agencies: Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)
Description
A roadside information marker on Highway 12 reads:
"Before the Highway 12 route was built, traveling through this region was slow, hard work. As late as 1940, Boulder (Utah) still received its mail by mule train for part of the year. The Civilian Conservation Corps had completed the Hell's Backbone Road between Escalante and Boulder in 1933, allowing vehicle traffic in summertime. But when winter snows closed that road, the only routes between the two towns were wagon trails through the canyons…In 1935, the Civilian Conservation Corps crews began to build the Lower Boulder Road, now part of Highway 12. Nicknamed the "Million Dollar Road," the road took five years, backbreaking effort, ingenuity, and many tons of dynamite to complete. Crews blasted through sandstone ledges down to the Escalante River and up Calf Creek Canyon. On June 21, 1940, jubilant community members celebrated completion of the first all-season automobile road between the two communities."

In the meantime, I do hope that you are feeling better. Get well soon! HUGZ!

I love it when anyone can give the gps cords! Thank you!
So, this is the verbal/written part of clue #13.
Tackle this third leg of the road trip and you'll be one step closer to the million's location.
Stay awake. You may be riding shotgun, but you don't want to miss the scenery. The final leg of the trip is coming next week.
Nitpicks #1) Tackle #2) Shotgun
Could we be looking for a park where you can fish and hunt?
Nitpick #3) Stay awake
Do they mean stay awake (literally) because this part of the road trip is an 8 hour drive?
What if...
What if you won? What would you do with it? Be realistic because the tax man cometh so you'll end up with probably/about $600,000.00
