Greetings from Yellowstone National Park
In 1968 my grandparents took a road trip across the U.S. They left from Pennsylvania and drove west, camping in National Parks along the way. They wrote notes in journals along the way, including notes about the parks, rangers, and campsites. My grandfather told me all kinds of great stories…

Greetings from Glacier National Park
In 1965, my Dad became the Engineer/Winter Caretaker at Many Glacier. He started working there in April and the rest of the family moved up in June after my sister graduated from High School in Great Falls. We lived there until November 1969. In the summer there were all the…

Greetings from Redwood National & State Parks
Back in 2009 we embarked on a national park road trip. In 34 days we visited 14 national parks. (Even took in some state parks along the way.) Since then, we have had a burning desire to repeat that trip only to make it longer. We were amazed every day…

Greetings from Yosemite National Park
Returning home after two weeks out there in the wilderness, I found it extremely difficult to share my feelings with my family. There have just been way too many precious moments—happy, challenging, or meaningful—that happened in the short period of 14 days. All in all, backpacking through Yosemite was one…

Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park
My Grandmother and Grandfather took several trips to all of the Southwest national parks in the 40,'s, 50's and 60's. Over the years, I have loved going through their slides, sorted by park and seeing the National Parks in ways that are impossible today. I have over 8,000 slides and…

Greetings from Yosemite National Park
I spent a full nine days in the Yosemite wilderness, where a couple of friends plus a 30-pound backpack constructed a life-changing experience. I was surprised by the simplicity of the ingredients for happiness. This recipe liberated me from all my worldly fetters. In those nine days, right above me…
