  • Greetings from Olympic National Park

    During early August 2013, Liz and I took a wonderful trip along the coast of Washington. We hiked the 10-mile Ozette Loop in a relaxing in 3 days! The weather ranged from fog and rain to clear and warm, giving us the full spectrum of North Coast weather. On the…

  • Greetings from Yosemite National Park

    If you want to find out why they call it the "Mist Trail," you'll need to take a hike up to the top of Vernal Falls. Just remember to bring a poncho!

  • Greetings from Acadia National Park

    I am vacationing right now in Acadia National Park. I have never been to Maine and I am enjoying the spectacular scenery this park has to offer. Yesterday I drove to the top of Cadillac mountain and had a 360 vista of the ocean and Bar Harbor. The day before…

  • Greetings from Glacier National Park

    This year I spent some time at Glacier National park. I stayed at Lake McDonald Lodge and what a beautiful place it was. Have visited Grand Tetons and Yellowstone, as well as Big Bend in Texas. My wish is to visit all our national parks. Their beauty should be enjoyed…

  • Greetings from Acadia National Park

    My husband and I enjoyed 2 wonderful days in beautiful Acadia NP. While the eastern cliffs were spectacular with hidden coves along the Atlantic, we particularly enjoyed the interior carriage ways with the Rockefeller bridges. Each is a unique stone faced construction. The untouched flora at every height looked naturally…

  • Greetings from Redwood National & State Parks

    My girlfriend and I live in Florida. We love to visit California and explore their Parks. Some of our fondest memories are in The Humboldt area. Hiking in the Redwood Forest is like living in a fairy tale. We love it!

  • Greetings from Grand Teton National Park

    I was at a Road Scholar (Elderhostel) class on advanced photography. We went to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. The views, photos and all we saw were breathtaking. I am grateful for these two wonderful National Parks with all their beauty to photograph and enjoy!

  • Greetings from Zion National Park

    Some friends and I were visiting Zion for the first time. We saw some videos on the various hikes you could go on, but as soon as we saw the one for Angel's Landing, we said, "Let's Go!" As exciting as the hike up to the top was—holding onto chains…

  • Greetings from National Mall and Memorial Parks

    I was ten-years-old when my Grandfather took my older brother, who was thirteen-years-old at the time, on a trip across the United States to show us that we were part of a bigger family than we thought. He took us to Yellowstone National Park and I got to see a…

  • Greetings from Isle Royale National Park

    It was probably 25 years ago that my husband, our son and I visited Isle Royale National Park, leaving from Minnesota and backpacking for 2 or 3 days (it's hard to remember just how long). We had a great time, even saw a moose, but the temps were pretty hot.…
