A1. So many choices. Tonight I'm going with the Colorado, which runs through many national park sites. Yellowstone is runner-up. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1 First that comes to my mind are the Yellowstone River and the Merced, just because I love them. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1) Another vote for the Mississippi! The headwaters are in Lake Itasca, which is #Minnesota state park! #parkchat

A1 There are so many defining rivers. The Yellowstone, the Missouri, the Mississippi, the Columbia, The Rio Grande. But I think the Colorado takes the cake. and I’ve never seen it!#ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute #parkchat A1 I'd have to go with the Colorado. Goes through 9 parks and NPS Rec areas. https://t.co/rBlPgsrlw5

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1) In Minneapolis there's a National River & Recreation Area that celebrates a river that I'm not sure if many a familiar with, called the Mississippi. 😏 #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1. The Colorado River comes to mind first for me. Just knew from the time I was a kid that it carved the Grand Canyon. #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1) For me it is the Mississippi River (A National River and Recreation Area near where I grew up). The history of those who have used the river intersects American history in so many ways and touches various public land units. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1: um, I’d say the Rio Grande because it defines the edge of Big Bend and I’ve spent some memorable moments along the banks. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute #ParkChat A1 what about the Platte? Many pioneers had to ford it to reach their dreams

A1 It doesn't really pass through #nationalparks but it is surrounded by public lands: the mighty Mississippi River. I feel this one defines much of our country in the past and today. #ParkChat

A1 The Hudson River! Some of you may live long enough to read my book, and then you'll find out why #parkchat
