Greetings from Acadia National Park
In the summer of 2015 I visited Acadia National Park. I felt completely immersed in the wilderness and that I was truly stepping out of my comfort zone. However, after taking and environmental class in college, I realize that the wilderness I thought I was experiencing was completely constructed by…

Greetings from Acadia National Park
Wnen I think of Acadia National Park, I picture in my mind Jordan Pond with the extinct volcanic Bubbles rising from the far shore. Jordan Pond has become for me my very own Walden Pond. I lived along its shores for over three months as a worker at the Jordan…

Greetings from Yosemite National Park
When I was a high school freshman, I, along with other aspiring, enthusiastic young students, went on a field research trip in the backcountry of Yosemite for two weeks. We carried our food, tents, and resources with us, and roamed the wilderness freely and completely away from any semblance of…

Greetings from Olympic National Park

Greetings from Cape Cod National Seashore
It was our first visit to Cape Cod off season. After hoofing along the sands for an hour or so, I happened to look back at our receding tracks; amazingly, they were as natural as those of the shore birds in that they appeared marvelously wobbly. Beyond Nauset Light blinking…

Greetings from Everglades National Park
The Everglades is located at the very southern tip of Florida and it captured my heart in the 1970s when I visited in the winter. The weather was moderately warm throughout the day and the display of wading birds and alligators was like nothing I had ever seen. In 1979…

Greetings from Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve
We've visited the Great Sand Dunes over a couple of dozen times and each time provided unique experiences. Perhaps the most memorable ones included going there with my wife and kids in early June when Medano Creek pulsated with rather large waves coming from snow-melt from the Sangre de Cristo…

Greetings from Yellowstone National Park
We had taken the trail to Cascade Lake, a gentle walk after the previous day's hike to the bottom of the lower Yellowstone Falls. The trail wound its way through lodgepole pine forests and open meadows laced with light green sagebrush and bright blue larkspur flowers. We even saw mule…
