Greetings from Channel Islands National Park
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…

Greetings from Joshua Tree National Park
It was my first trip to the desert, being from New England the landscape was mesmerizing. Two notable memories. 1) the plants made me feel like I was walking on the bottom of the ocean. It could very well have been covered in water at some point in time. 2)…

Greetings from Glen Canyon National Recreation Area
Last October (2013) we had our whole vacation to Arizona planned, for well over 6 months ahead of time. We were hoping to see the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, along with many other Parks in Arizona...until the shut down happened. We decided that since all our reservations for…

Greetings from Independence National Historical Park
Keeping visitors away from the birthplace of America for all those days was nothing less than a sin. To see Independence Hall, Congress Hall, the Liberty Bell -- and to learn how we came into being -- are essential experiences that should not be denied to Americans or international visitors.…

Greetings from Glacier National Park
It was summer 1963 and I was three and a half years old. In a few months President Kennedy would be assassinated, followed in six weeks by the birth of my little brother. But it was our driving trip from our home in Minnesota through Montana and to Glacier National…

Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park
I spent over $4,000 and a year of planning to stay in both the North and South Rims. Because of the government shutdown, I was denied access to both. Your organizations needs to work to stop this "hostage taking" of our national parks system. I am so angry and sad.…
