Greetings from Big Bend National Park
This photo is a picture of the Window at Big Bend National Park in Brewster County of West Texas. At the Window, I have a profound family story of my Great Grandmother who was Native American was savagely taken when a brutal Native American Warfare Outbreak between the two Native…

Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park
A friend took me there as we wanted to get our life time passes before they stopped giving them out to seniors. It was so strange to just be driving along this flat land then all of a suden there is this entrance gate and when you go through you…

Greetings from Yellowstone National Park
My wife and I have been to Yellowstone numerous times on our motorcycle. Every time we would go we would talk about how much we wanted to bring our 3 grandchildren when they got old enough to remember the trip. Finally at ages 8, 7 and 6 we took them.…

Greetings from Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park
I spent the second half of 1999, driving around the US camping and hiking in national parks, watching baseball games with friends and listening to accounting tapes. I took the test for my last CPA section in November of 1999. Then stayed in San Diego with a friend and worked…

Greetings from North Cascades National Park
I did a road trip to various parks in 1993, but as a woman traveling alone, I didn’t feel comfortable tent camping so slept in my Civic hatchback. I’m pretty short so it was comfortable. I did another road trip in 1999, again with a duration of several weeks. This…

Greetings from Badlands National Park
By May 1993, I’d been road tripping and camping in various national parks for several weeks. I reached Badlands on my circuitous route home to Colorado from Alaska. Because I was anxious to get home to my own bed, I don’t think I gave the park the attention it deserves…

Greetings from Yosemite National Park
I took a long road trip in 1993 and Yosemite was one of the many parks at which I camped and hiked. Because it was spring, there was enough snowmelt to make Bridalveil, and the other falls, quite spectacular. I’m now retired and hope to return to Yosemite for further…

Greetings from Rocky Mountain National Park
Beyond the First Mile Pale winter sunlight barely peeks over the snowy mountaintops as I pull into the parking lot, still bleary-eyed while sipping my thermos full of coffee. Three other SUVs sit at the far corner near the trailhead; I sigh, disappointed I’m not the first one here. Wintertime’s…

Greetings from Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve
I moved to CO after my high school graduation to establish residency and then attend the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs. I loved CO and never lacked for visits from friends and family who wanted to visit me (or more likely visit Colorado! : ). I used these visits…
