Greetings from Glacier National Park
I had many epic bear encounters in the summers 1984 and 1985. I attributed my rate of sightings to some sort of bear magnetism, as one of my co-workers was bear free until his second summer on a trip we were on together. We hiked off trail (with a permit)…

Greetings from Glacier National Park
My parents and I spent 6 wonderful days/nights in Glacier National Park this year. Each year, we try to visit at least one national park, sometimes just passing through and others to stay for an extended time. If I were to choose a vacation destination, our beautiful parks are always…

Greetings from Yosemite National Park
I took my sister to Yosemite in May. She had never been there and was stunned by its beauty. It is so lush in the spring with full waterfalls sending refreshing mist across the valley. My sister is a naturalist for small adventure cruises and has a developed eye for…

Greetings from Mount Rainier National Park
My husband and I recently visited Mount Rainier National Park for the first time. We made a two-day backpacking trip to the South Puyallup River campground and hiked up to Emerald Ridge to see our first glacier! This hike was very uphill, but it was worth it when we reached…

Greetings from Zion National Park
This picture is of the rising sun bouncing off the walls of The Narrows, our favorite moment of visiting Zion in summer 2012. We beat the crowds and walked for 2 miles up the Virgin River solo, just us and the walls. It's moments and places that our National Parks…
