  • Greetings from Kings Canyon National Park

    I am 80 year's old and still camping. My family always spent 2 weeks in many of the national parks. King's canyon was our favorite. We hiked, fished, rode horses, and rented donkies and backed back in when we were very young. The best memories I have are of the…

  • Greetings from Canyonlands National Park

    Park rangers at the visitor center are very friendly and provide important information on current off road trail conditions. Rangers assured me my Subaru outback Wilderness would do well on Long Canyon Trail. They were right and I had the time of my life.

  • Greetings from Devils Tower National Monument

    The park rangers were so courteous, hard working & professional. They had the areas clean, mowed, & delivered firewood. They were a presence, told us what they would be doing next to improve the paths, & other maintenance. They pointed us to history of the park, & shared their love…

  • Greetings from Yosemite National Park

    Not long before COVID, my husband and I brought some friends from Denmark to Yosemite for a few days. We entered through the Wawona entrance, and the ranger asked if we had ever been to the park before. We explained that we visited often, but that it was the first…
