Pat Hagan is the BEST! He made hiking fun, was a fabulous storyteller and engaged everyone. We loved what he was doing so much that we sought out every program he offered while we were there. His book Seasonal Disorders has provided so many laughs for so many people that…

I started camping at Blackwoods Campground in 1950 as a child. Our family spent at least a week there every summer until I was a junior in high school. I continued through my adult years and my husband and I spent our honeymoon there and many trips during the 40…

Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park
I took a sunrise tour and walk along the south rim with one of the Rangers and she pointed out the most amazing things that I never would have noticed on my own. Plus she was able to add a little history here and there. We cannot lose our Rangers…
