  • Greetings from Arches National Park

    just to think of an oil well in front of Arches is disgusting and a desecration to all parks and monuments

  • 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…

  • Greetings from Montezuma Castle National Monument

    I volunteer at Montezuma Castle Monument. It is such a rewarding experience. The Castle is beautiful and we have dedicated volunteers and rangers here. I have met countless visitors from the U.S. and around the world. My major job at the Castle besides talking and giving information about the Castle,…

  • Greetings from Badlands National Park

    So Happy we Finally made it here! The first time we came close to the Badlands was in 1997, on a trip to Yellowstone, but our schedule did not allow for a stop at the Badlands. ( That trip is another story to be told...!) We planned for over 20…

  • Greetings from Rocky Mountain National Park

    7-27-18. I was hiking to Cub Lake, in the Moraine Park area of RMNP, and came upon this little moose family. What a treat to see the kiddos running around playing!

  • Greetings from Yellowstone National Park

    I just want to see people be safe in the park. I believe it would be an excellent idea to have a visitor center at the gates, where visitors would be required to watch films on how dangerous wild animals are, and a talk on staying on the boardwalks. The…

  • Greetings from Yellowstone National Park

    I have so many good memories of Yellowstone going back to when I was a child and the Bears were more plentiful to my last road trip through the Park and just marvel at the different thermal sites. I also have great memories of spending a night at Old Faithful…

  • Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park

    TOROWEEP ADVENTURE (picture is of Toroweep campground) In May of 2012 my friend Ed and I spent several days camping near the north rim of the Grand Canyon in a beautiful place at 3’000 feet elevation called Toroweep, one of the few spots along the rim where you can look…
