Greetings from Yellowstone National Park
My whole life Yellowstone has been on my bucket list of go to places. Finally I went for my first time this summer. I have been researching for years. I knew exactly what to do. We went swimming in the Firehole river, the Madison river and where the boiling river…

Greetings from Yosemite National Park
Rubbing sleep out of my eyes, I grumbled at my parents, wondering why they were waking me up at seven in the morning. As we walked out of our rental cabin, I felt the glare of the sun as they told me that we were going on another hike. Beginning…

Greetings from Yosemite National Park
A couple of years ago, my family and I visited Yosemite National Park. Of course, we couldn’t miss a chance to hike up the famous Yosemite Falls. With my legs being the same length of my arms back then, I got tired pretty quickly so my dad had to essentially…

Greetings from Arches National Park
The thing about Delicate Arch is that even before you’ve seen it, you’ve probably seen its image a zillion times — on postcards and in magazines, on the road signs and Utah license plates you passed on your way to Arches National Park. And it doesn’t matter one bit. There’s…

Greetings from Joshua Tree National Park
The desert in late December is really cold, but also a great time to visit Joshua Tree National Park because there are fewer crowds and it was incredibly peaceful. My family and I visited just after Christmas and while we were only there for a few days, we were blown…

Greetings from Glacier National Park
Last summer, I attended the Glacier Institute along with twenty other teens from the San Francisco Bay Area. Over the course of ten days, we learned about the Crown of the Continent and some of the threats facing the national parks such as invasive species. In addition to conducting research…

Greetings from Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park
This is a very sad story, unfortunately. Our family used to hike the "Bird Park" trail at HVNP for many years, and we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the nature there. However, recently, whenever we go there, we are harassed by repetitive overflights of tour helicopters!! This is something…
