  • Greetings from Everglades National Park

    My sisters and I took a Caribbean cruise in October of 1998. We had a great time and especially enjoyed an air boat excursion in the Everglades before we went to the airport. ![Everglades](https://npca.s3.amazonaws.com/images/16058/5cb540aa-4693-4d52-b931-ac9432822f23-original.jpg?1659383718)

  • Greetings from Glacier National Park

    I listened to testimony of NPS Officials and Representatives before the NPS Subcommittee on overcrowding of facilities at many places across the country on 7/28 21 at which Kristen Brengel represented your organization.

  • Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park

    I have visited numerous national parks in my lifetime; however, one week-long visit and trek will forever be remembered: My University of Colorado Geology class field trip in the summer of 1993.

    This was taken in VA in 2017. Keith and I love the AT in Virginia because it is mostly dog friendly (as are the wineries, breweries and distilleries along the Blue Ridge Parkway : ) Winston loves the hiking and also enjoys the pets he gets when we stop for…

  • Greetings from Great Smoky Mountains National Park

    This was taken at an overlook in Great Smoky Mountain NP in 2011. Keith and I rented a pup friendly cabin outside the park and enjoyed a lot of hiking (most of it outside the park) with our boy Winston.

  • Greetings from Indiana Dunes National Park

    My partner Keith took me to Chicago for my 50th bday in 2015. On the way back to Columbus we stopped at the Dunes and really enjoyed our afternoon there.

  • Greetings from Olympic National Park

    I spent a day hiking in Olympic National Park with my family this summer. We were greeted by snow-capped mountains and miles of evergreens, both of which were familiar characteristics of Washington State. Throughout the year, the mountains are always dotted with wildflowers frequented by fat bees and skittish butterflies.…
