Greetings from Denali National Park & Preserve
I had the opportunity to spend July 4th, 2014 in Denali National Park with my husband and our two children. It was the least typical Fourth of July I have ever had. No fireworks. No parade. Just the unbelievable vastness and beauty of the wilderness. This is the America I…

Greetings from Bryce Canyon National Park
After our marriage, we went to a trip to Utah and Arizona. Initially, we thought all the National Parks would be the same. Bryce was the 1st National Park we visited together. We totally loved it and learned how hoodoos are formed, how acid rain is effecting the hoodoos. We…

Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park
I haven't been to the Grand Canyon since I was 5 years old. Needless to say, I don't remember too much of it. However, when my girlfriend and her parents took a trip this November for her birthday, I made some amazing memories this time! This picture was from our…

Greetings from Yosemite National Park
My heart thudded wildly as I stepped off the trail and hovered near the edge of the drop-off. 2,000 feet below, Yosemite Valley separated the monolith I stood atop and the one adjacent from me. Usually when my heart raced it was because I was frightened, or anxious, or nervous--but…

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…
