I have visited 49 national parks so far and all 49 I can tell a special story about. Not being into crowds, Alaska’s Wrangell-St. Elias is easily my favorite with 10 of the 13 highest peaks in the U.S. located inside this park. Being the largest of the current 60 national parks, Wrangell-St. Elias has so much unspoiled beauty to offer. A 10 out of 10 on the WOW meter, this place is special. Pictured is 16,390 ft. Mt. Blackburn with Kennicott Glacier below, the serenity of this place with the many glaciers, volcanic peaks, rivers, clean air, & wildlife. It is always a great place for me to relax, reconnect with nature, the wilderness, hike, & just enjoy the moment. Places like this is why I support the national park service & the NPCA.
Sincerely,
Wrangell St. Elias National Park & Preserve

Greetings from Rocky Mountain National Park
"Rainbow Elk" At the Sheep Lakes in RMNP, I was driving through in the rain with my dog in the car. This Rainbow appeared, I parked, then jumped out with my I-phone 6. Most all of the Elk had their heads down munching grass. The Bull Elk had a large…
