  • Greetings from Golden Gate National Recreation Area

    I recently did an island hop visit from California State Park, Angel Island, to National Park Site, Alcatraz Island. Although 2 different agencies operate these two sites, their history is intertwined. It was a fantastic visit! Not only do the islands share history, but the views of the San Francisco…

  • Greetings from Zion National Park

    My family has visited so many National Parks and on our third cross country RV trip we toured around the National Parks in Utah and Zion National Park was my favorite by far! So much diversity and nothing at all what I had expected. I think about the hikes we…

  • Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park

    My daughter and I made our first trip to a national park together to the Grand Canyon. It was a truly bonding experience as we walked down into the depths of the canyon. Two women, from two generations going back in time. As we made our way back up to…

  • Greetings from Cedar Breaks National Monument

    Bristlecone Pine at Cedar Break National Monument. These trees, worn by weather, are simply amazing and beautiful to me.

  • Greetings from Lassen Volcanic National Park

    I live near to the beautiful Lassen Volcanic National Park. I have enjoyed the park on many occasions, once I even went snowshoeing in winter at the park. My most recent accomplishment at Lassen was when I hiked to the top of Brokeoff Mountain. The climb was a 3,000-foot progressive…
