  • Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park

    I was privileged enough to work for the Forever Resorts Lodge in the Grand Canyon - North Rim for an entire year, including the winter. This is a view of the Canyon from the top of the North Rim during the winter. A view that not many get to experience,…

  • Greetings from Rocky Mountain National Park

    Today is the last stop of my two-week vacation. I visited Arches National Park, the Island in the Sky at Canyonland, the Needles at Canyonland, the Grand Canyon's South Rim, the Grand Canyon's North Rim, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon and lastly Rocky Mountain National Park. Each is stunningly beautiful.…

  • Greetings from Yellowstone National Park

    I grew up in Livingston, MT, just 64 miles south of there. Yellowstone has always been one of my favorite places to visit, and still is. It never gets old, but I have, and it is difficult to go as often as I would like. My family, children, grandchildren…

  • Greetings from San Juan National Historic Site

    If I had not studied and got my master degree in U.S., I can hardly imagine travel to Caribbean and consider this area as a travel destination--and even twice! The first time I went to San Juan was last December, which was part of a Caribbean cruise. At that time,…

  • Greetings from Grand Teton National Park

    It didn’t matter that we were lost, the scenery was so beautiful. My father stopped the car, and my sister and I got out to take pictures. It was a warm day, with a hint of a breeze. The scene in front of me looked like one of the puzzles…

  • Greetings from Denali National Park & Preserve

    During my 25 years living in Alaska, Denali was a once a year family tradition visit. We always enjoyed watching the animals and we loved being able to share with our friends and family visitors in additional visits.

  • Greetings from Castillo de San Marcos National Monument

    I went to St. Augustine with my family 2 years ago. It took forever to drive there. We walked by the cemetery [scary].Then we walked to the fort and the moat. We saw the jail room and the bedrooms, then we watched the cannon go boom. IT WAS LOUD. Then…

  • Greetings from Yosemite National Park

    During my visit to Yosemite National Park, I had lots of fun. The beautiful trees towered above me, they felt like the tallest things in the world besides the gigantic mountains themselves. The glacier water extremely cold! When me and my brother were exploring a nearby creek, my foot was…

  • Greetings from Pearl Harbor National Memorial

    I was stationed in Hawaii twice in my military career and now reside on Oahu. I have been to the USS Arizona numerous times with visiting friends and family. The many upgrades to the visitor's center and visitor experience over the years is outstanding and only gets better with each…
