Greetings from Rock Creek Park
Sometimes, living in the city gets claustrophobic - there's people everywhere and everyone is always in a rush to get to something vitally important. Those of us in D.C. are lucky. When the city becomes too much, we have over 2,000 acres of parkland to enjoy.

Greetings from Virgin Islands National Park
This was National Park #20 of our all 59 yearlong tour and the first park we had to fly to! My wife and I spent four days exploring the island paradise of Virgin Islands National Park on the island of St. John. We hiked the mountainous trails to sugar plantation…

Greetings from Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Our high school started an Environmental Club this year and we recently spent a weekend at the Cuyahoga Valley Environmental Education Center in CVNP. It was a beautiful and unseasonably warm weekend in December. Forty students were able to explore the trails, find peace next to still ponds, and walk…

Greetings from Sequoia National Park
We made our first trip to see the Giant Sequoias last May. I'm 58 years old and it was an awe-inspiring event for me. My wife and I were so in love we returned 6 months later, and now have made reservations to stay in a cabin in Grants Grove…

Greetings from Big Bend National Park
In the 70's I circled most parks in the central regions of the US best trip ever. Actually never been to Big Bend yet is on my list. However after what Rick Scott governor of Florida did to the funding (took 4 mill away) did, and now trying to open…

Greetings from Zion National Park
My family visited the Zion National Park for the first time. For our daughters it was an opportunity to see what nature is like. We leave in a big city and they do not get to see much nature and wide open spaces. We also went to the Grand Canyon…

Greetings from Mount Rainier National Park
Pedaling from the Midwest, I had just cycled over the summit of White Pass in the Cascades in lower Washington when I rounded a turn and Mt. Rainer in the far distance appeared before my eyes, more beautiful than any painting or photo could possibly capture. Others around me in…
