Greetings from Rocky Mountain National Park

There are so many things to love about Rocky Mountain National Park. The wildlife and scenery are unforgettable. Our favorite hike is the gorgeous Loch Vale Trail.
Greetings from Appalachian National Scenic Trail

I've been on the Appalachian Trail on two occasions in my lifetime. It was beautiful and I really didn't want to leave it. However, now that we have the administration in power that we do, and they are suggesting major cuts in funding, PLUS giving out a good portion of…
Greetings from Arches National Park

This park is so magnificent. We hiked, climbed and took in the incredible beauty. The Delicate Arch was a joy to see up close and enjoy the natural wonder. The parks are a true gift from the US Government to its people! This is a treasure for all to share.💕💕💕

Greetings from Yosemite National Park

I first visited Yosemite as part of a 5th grade field trip. This past summer, I finally returned as part of an environmental research program. Together with eight other high school students and two mentors, we hiked 50+ miles over nine days, while carrying heavy backpacks. We traveled from one…
Greetings from Rocky Mountain National Park

7-27-18. I was hiking to Cub Lake, in the Moraine Park area of RMNP, and came upon this little moose family. What a treat to see the kiddos running around playing!
