  • 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 Yosemite National Park

    If you want to find out why they call it the "Mist Trail," you'll need to take a hike up to the top of Vernal Falls. Just remember to bring a poncho!

  • Greetings from Acadia National Park

    I am vacationing right now in Acadia National Park. I have never been to Maine and I am enjoying the spectacular scenery this park has to offer. Yesterday I drove to the top of Cadillac mountain and had a 360 vista of the ocean and Bar Harbor. The day before…

  • Greetings from Glacier National Park

    This year I spent some time at Glacier National park. I stayed at Lake McDonald Lodge and what a beautiful place it was. Have visited Grand Tetons and Yellowstone, as well as Big Bend in Texas. My wish is to visit all our national parks. Their beauty should be enjoyed…
