    I grew up along the C & O Canal and my family still lives just a few minutes away. It's an incredible place to have immediate access to when you live in a suburb. I hope that all future generations can love and appreciate the wildlife, hiking trails, trees, river,…

    Greetings from Rocky Mountain National Park

    As a native New Yorker, my first escape to the rockies changed my life. It was the first time that I truly appreciated the grandeur of the natural world and the scale of life. Now I make the journey several times a year and this film is a result of…

    We went out to Wyoming for a wedding and stayed in Jackson Hole. Traveled throughout the Lower Loop of Yellowstone for a 12 hour day. Horseback riding through the Grand Tetons on our marvelous horses with our very kind and knowledgeable guide past the Ox Bow River will be a…

    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…

    This park is so magnificent. We hiked, climbed and took in the incredible beauty. The Delicate Arch was a joy to see up close and enjoy the natural wonder. The parks are a true gift from the US Government to its people! This is a treasure for all to share.💕💕💕

  • Greetings from Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area

    I was impressed by Fort Warren on Georges Island. The lady took me on a tour by myself and she noticed my ear was bleeding, so we had to bandage that first. It was a very impressive fort. The stories are great too. I missed the first boat over, so…
