Rivers and Gorges
ParkChat

Q8 #ParkChat Gorges are tied closely to rivers. Gorges, therefore, are common. There are more than 100 just in Utah. Yet, the Gorge gets little love. Only one Park Unit is named for one. We need a new Park named after Gorge, right? Which one(s) would make for a great Park Unit?

A7 I don't know much about fishing - and yes, I know what my name is, so save it! 😠 #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A8) I haven't fished in 20+ years so I'm not sure, but I will say that the proposed lands for the unlikely Driftless Rivers NP are full of Class I trout streams. Also, I have an in on a good stream if there are any #ParkChat anglers out there.

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A6. A combination of education and political action is needed to raise awareness and protect these areas. This is our natural and cultural heritage, which we should want to pass down to our children. #parkchat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur @Wild_Tribute @tthrash @59NationalParks @NatlParkService It's crazy to think that the river you are looking at today is the same one (well, in a different form of sorts) that dinosaurs were also looking at #ParkChat

replying to @Parkasaur @Wild_Tribute @59NationalParks @NatlParkService And really, the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail should count too, right? #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A8: Given the various gorges of the Finger Lakes region, can we get at least an NRA designation there? #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A8) Hmm, guess the NPS could rename Rock Creek Park, Gorge Washington Park. 😏 #ParkChat

A8 Gotta go local with Tallulah Gorge up in North Georgia or Cullasaja Gorge near Highlands, NC. #ParkChat

replying to @Stars252525 @Stars252525 @Wild_Tribute The shuttle wasn't running the day we were there and it had rained earlier, so there weren't a lot of people on the trail which made it extra special for us. I really need to get back up there soon! #ParkChat

replying to @ParksandPoints @ParksandPoints @Wild_Tribute @tthrash @59NationalParks @NatlParkService Better than that. When these Appalachian Rivers started flowing, there weren’t any dinosaurs yet. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7 Perhaps the Snake River @GrandTetonNPS ? We went in june and all the runoff from snow melt made the river not ideal for fly fishing so we had to “settle” for Yellowstone Lake 🎣 #ParkChat

RT @Wild_Tribute: Q7. Fishing or Fly Fishing enthusiasts can tab a river as legendary for its stockpiles. Is there a trophy river for such?…

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur @Wild_Tribute @59NationalParks @NatlParkService It's not one of the 418, but it is a @ParksPassport stamp-able trail, the two national trails that are in the #NPS stable are Appalachian and Natchez Trace #parkchat

A8 Oh without a doubt Watkins Glen State Park in New York would make an EXCELLENT #nationalpark unit. If you really want "Gorge" in the name just named it Gorgeous National Park. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A8 Huh, even less love for Chasms, I guess. Ausable Chasm in NY would be my answer to that. #parkchat

replying to @unconpeace @unconpeace I think that was kinda the point of the question. There aren't many gorges on national park property, so what would make a good addition? #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks #parkchat A8 how about the Bad River Gorge in Wisconsin? The Midwest needs more NPS sites! Right @InnerCompass?

replying to @wander_filled @wander_filled I don't know about Cullasaja Gorge. There is barely even a place to pull off the road to see it. Can you imagine 10,000 people trying to visit? 20K? #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7. I've never gone fly fishing, but I look forward to learning. I've got that whole stand in a stream in hip waders, casting, catching big trout, cooking them by the fire dream in my head. #parkchat.

A9. I'd think anything on the Mississippi or Missouri. Thinking about Mark Twain and Lewis & Clark sites. #ParkChat
