Greetings from Great Basin National Park
My wife and I just returned from an 8 day road trip starting in Barstow, California, traveling all across Nevada, and ending up back in Santa Monica, California. We spent 2 1/2 days in Great Basin National Park and took a tour of Lehman Caves. Great Basin is a true…

Greetings from Independence National Historical Park
My wife and I finally made it out to Philadelphia. We had a great time visiting the historic sites! I think we read everything in every building. BUT, we were very disappointed that some historic homes were closed. We would have loved to have seen the home where Thomas Jefferson…

Greetings from Shenandoah National Park
Our family has been camping in Shenandoah every summer for the last 10+yrs. Although our children are all grown and have moved on with their lives, we still manage to attract one or two each year to join us on our week long tent camping trip. We don't cover as…

Greetings from Yosemite National Park
I took my wife and kids to see Yosemite's beautiful falls in May, when spring runoff was at its peak. Our 5- and 7-year-olds were mesmerized by towering Yosemite Fall and loved our little exploratory hike along the boulders up to the base of the falls. Even our 1-year-old couldn't…

Greetings from Glacier National Park
Just took a wonderful trip with Road Scholar to Glacier National Park. Did lots of hiking, learned all about the unique geology of the region; and was devastated to learn that only 18 glaciers remain. What a beautiful place!

Greetings from Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park
I first visited Lyndon B. Johnson NHP while attending an eighth-grade camp at my school, taking a bus tour of the LBJ ranch. I have returned several times since. Once, while taking a volksmarch around the ranch, the walkers were greeted by Luci Baines Johnson, who was then residing in…

Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park
I have taken 7 week-long backpack trips into the Grand Canyon. It is for me the church where I experience my spiritual Self. Its profoundness is beyond the profound beauty so often found in our National Parks. The National Parks are integral to the vacations I have taken over…
