Greetings from Death Valley National Park
NPCA's ParkScapes trip to Death Valley gave me the opportunity to experience this otherworldly place up close. I think that's the right word for it -- these are the mesquite sand dunes that served as locations on the planet Tatooine in the first Star Wars movie!

Greetings from Golden Gate National Recreation Area
My visit to Fort Funston Growing up in San Francisco Fort Funston has loomed over the city my whole life. So when I say I’ve never actually been in the park means it I've taken it for granted. Everyone in my family has walked our dog in the park and…

Greetings from Sequoia National Park

I went to the Ocean beach fire pits during one night with a few friends who were having a fire jam. This was the first time that I have been to the pits. It was a clear warm night, unusual for San Francisco, and many other people were enjoying the…

Greetings from Golden Gate National Recreation Area
The San Francisco skyline is like a cacophony of natural/modern landforms that descend into a glimmering bay straddled by the silhouetted Golden Gate. Right in the middle of the bay is “the rock.” A little smudge of land so spotted in history it deserved protection from the National Park Service.…
