Greetings from Gates Of The Arctic National Park & Preserve
Beginning in the early 1970s, I became involved in efforts to set aside a part of the Brooks Range in Alaska as a new national park. I spent years exploring this wonderful wilderness by foot, dog team, floating and by light aircraft. I wanted to be a part of the…

Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park
Deep within the spruce and fir, I make my camp along the North Rim, but before I eat supper, I walk over to the nighttime edge of the Grand Canyon to peer three or four thousand feet down to see a tiny flickering campfire way below that lures me down…
