    Greetings from Glacier National Park

    It was our second visit to the park, having been "smoked out" from the wildfires previously. The Road to the Sun is so breathtaking that we had to travel it several times. I took this picture on a perfect day for photography and it now graces our home as a…

  • Greetings from Cuyahoga Valley National Park

    I spent a year in the 90's working in this park in the environmental education center and lived in the historic canal village of Everett (had a covered bridge as well). I considered becoming a park ranger and still wonder what it would have been like if I had. All…

    Greetings from Kings Canyon National Park

    In 2012 my wife and I decided to take some extended time off our regular jobs and go on a 3-month road trip out west (we live in Ohio). We created an itinerary that would allow us to see several national parks -- including Kings Canyon. Before our 2012 trip…

  • Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park

    I was privileged enough to work for the Forever Resorts Lodge in the Grand Canyon - North Rim for an entire year, including the winter. This is a view of the Canyon from the top of the North Rim during the winter. A view that not many get to experience,…

  • Greetings from Yellowstone National Park

    We love the parks especially Yellowstone and Teton. We go there at least once a year. Enjoy Jackson and Cody Wyoming. Now we have a larger motorhome and will enjoy the visits more

  • Greetings from Rocky Mountain National Park

    Today is the last stop of my two-week vacation. I visited Arches National Park, the Island in the Sky at Canyonland, the Needles at Canyonland, the Grand Canyon's South Rim, the Grand Canyon's North Rim, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon and lastly Rocky Mountain National Park. Each is stunningly beautiful.…

  • Greetings from Yellowstone National Park

    I grew up in Livingston, MT, just 64 miles south of there. Yellowstone has always been one of my favorite places to visit, and still is. It never gets old, but I have, and it is difficult to go as often as I would like. My family, children, grandchildren…

  • Greetings from San Juan National Historic Site

    If I had not studied and got my master degree in U.S., I can hardly imagine travel to Caribbean and consider this area as a travel destination--and even twice! The first time I went to San Juan was last December, which was part of a Caribbean cruise. At that time,…

  • Greetings from Grand Teton National Park

    It didn’t matter that we were lost, the scenery was so beautiful. My father stopped the car, and my sister and I got out to take pictures. It was a warm day, with a hint of a breeze. The scene in front of me looked like one of the puzzles…

  • Greetings from Denali National Park & Preserve

    During my 25 years living in Alaska, Denali was a once a year family tradition visit. We always enjoyed watching the animals and we loved being able to share with our friends and family visitors in additional visits.
