Greetings from Canyonlands National Park
Attempting to pick a park for my "story" was incredibly difficult. I decided to choose this one from Canyonlands NP...partly because it was the most recent one I've been too, but also, because it was one of the most incredible places I've ever been. About a year ago, I was…

Greetings from Yellowstone National Park
I have visited twice first on my honeymoon in 1995 and then again in 1999 when I took my son. This first trip I fell in love and was awed by the pure beauty in this park, it inspired me to my current career as a zookeeper educating kids and…

Greetings from Yosemite National Park

Every year we have to go to Acadia National Park hiking. It is one of the most beautiful parks ever. The scenery at the top of Cadillac mountain is always breathtaking. It is a place we never get tired of. We are thankful that these national parks exist.

Greetings from Fort McHenry National Monument & Historic Shrine
I teach in Baltimore. Often my students are from very deprived circumstances. They have very little prior knowledge and U.S. History is not a familiar subject to many. I teach a unit on the War of 1812 especially as it relates to Baltimore. We end the unit with a trip…

Greetings from Yellowstone National Park
I came to the National Parks late in life. I was 48, and my new wife-to-be was enthusiastic in her descriptions of her experiences in Yellowstone and Grand Teton (she had worked in Wyoming for awhile). So, in the spirit of togetherness, I agreed to a joint trip to be…

Greetings from White Sands National Park
When I travel on business to attend Technical Committee meetings, speak at conferences, attend Board meetings - I always visit a National Park or State Aquarium. The national parks are soothing and help me get grounded. Some call it Earthing. Some refer to it as a way to get in…
