Greetings from Yosemite National Park
I recently returned from a nine-day backpacking trip in the Yosemite wilderness, where I conducted environmental field research with NatureBridge educators and eight other high school students. While the 50-pound packs posed a challenge, I had the time of my life. We sang songs, dipped in lakes, and laughed at…

Greetings from Zion National Park
My trip to Zion reignited my passion for our country’s national parks with its beauty and challenging hiking trails. My first hike was the Angel’s Landing Trail. At 53 years of age, and two knee surgeries in the previous year, I questioned my ability to make it to the top.…

Greetings from Cape Cod National Seashore
Where should I begin? This has been our Summer and now other seasons playground for over 20 years. I have seen the Dunes shift from Coast Guard to Provincelands and every day I am blessed to be at the magical place, I thank God, JFK and everyone who continues to…
