Greetings from Yosemite National Park
I grew up going to national parks every so often, but I didn't realize how special these places were until I went to Yosemite. Yosemite gave me the eyes to see how inspiring wilderness can be. My first wilderness experience was my first year in college with a group backpacking…

Greetings from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
I grew up in Michigan and have a rich memory of the national parks there. Sleeping Bear, Pictured Rocks... these and many others. I'm an Eagle Scout and owe much to the resources the parks provided. I live in Florida now and still love the National Parks afforded me…

Greetings from Great Smoky Mountains National Park
When 5 Elk calves came running out of the high grass at the Oconaluftee Visitor center and circled the herd in a full gallop, I was hooked. The Park had reintroduced Elk to the Park in 2001, and now the herd that has come to Oconaluftee numbers 25. Only through…

I love the State of Colorado and what makes it so special is the National Park Land. I have been camping, hiking and fishing since my parents started taking me as a young child. I love it when I see the National Park sign in Colorado. I have taken my…

My wife and I visited this beautiful place in June of 2013, just after the budget cuts had gone into effect. There was a park ranger who informed us that she was the only one, and while trained in First Aid/CPR, she was not medically trained. Therefore, she warned us…

Greetings from Acadia National Park
It was 1988 when we first brought our children to Southwest Harbor and Acadia National Park. Honestly, I have lost count of how many times my wife, Susan, and I have been back, my best guess is somewhere between 15 and 20 times in the last 26 years. We had…

Greetings from Canyonlands National Park
I have visited over 50 national parks all over the country. Canyonlands and Arches are probably my favorites--and Bryce. I know that others before me helped secure these jewels for my pleasure and I feel obligated to help maintain them for future generations. I believe NPCA does a fantastic job…

Greetings from Redwood National & State Parks
I spent my first years of college in the early 1970s in the Redwood Region of California and did not return until my wife and I visited Redwood National Park in 2011. This picture is of my wife displaying the usual reaction of most people when they first get up…
