  • Greetings from Glacier National Park

    Traveling on Going to the Sun Rd. in one of Glacier Park's historic "jammers" is an experience to be treasured. Stopping at Logan Pass (about halfway), I took the time to shoot my favorite man as he posed in the old, restored car with the cliffs behind. Whether our parks…

  • Greetings from Yosemite National Park

    We are from Florida. We love to travel and visit all national parks. We went to Yosemite twice and we love it there. We hope to go back there and hike up on half dome one day. We have been to few other state and national parks in CA. Redding…

  • Greetings from Olympic National Park

    During early August 2013, Liz and I took a wonderful trip along the coast of Washington. We hiked the 10-mile Ozette Loop in a relaxing in 3 days! The weather ranged from fog and rain to clear and warm, giving us the full spectrum of North Coast weather. On the…

  • Greetings from Yosemite National Park

  • Greetings from Acadia National Park

    My husband and I enjoyed 2 wonderful days in beautiful Acadia NP. While the eastern cliffs were spectacular with hidden coves along the Atlantic, we particularly enjoyed the interior carriage ways with the Rockefeller bridges. Each is a unique stone faced construction. The untouched flora at every height looked naturally…

  • Greetings from Redwood National & State Parks

    My girlfriend and I live in Florida. We love to visit California and explore their Parks. Some of our fondest memories are in The Humboldt area. Hiking in the Redwood Forest is like living in a fairy tale. We love it!

  • Greetings from Grand Teton National Park

    I was at a Road Scholar (Elderhostel) class on advanced photography. We went to Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park. The views, photos and all we saw were breathtaking. I am grateful for these two wonderful National Parks with all their beauty to photograph and enjoy!

  • Greetings from Zion National Park

    Some friends and I were visiting Zion for the first time. We saw some videos on the various hikes you could go on, but as soon as we saw the one for Angel's Landing, we said, "Let's Go!" As exciting as the hike up to the top was—holding onto chains…
