A8: Death Valley NP definitely needs some upgraded roads. I'd love to see the moving rocks, but am not sure it'll happen because of the treacherous back roads to get there. #ParkChat
replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute A8 - love parks without road trip potential #ParkChat

A8) I wish there was a faster way to get to Bandalier and Valles Caldera from the south. You're only 8 miles away if you're staying somewhere like Cochiti Lake, but it's a two hour drive. #ParkChat https://t.co/SBZJ64nmYX

A8 North Cascades had some serious roads issues this past summer. The only road into the actual park (the main road goes through an NRA) was closed just inside the park, cutting off some great views and trails. #parkchat

A8) #ParkChat I'm not sure the extent of the new Lava flow but I think @Volcanoes_NPS just had some extensive damage making parts inaccessible, it would be nice to have more camping and lodging accommodations too, Non-touristy kind that encourages education about the culture. https://t.co/UMFBUcCPGd

A9: My favorite park for a roadtrip is definitely Great Smoky Mountain NP. It was my closest park growing up, and there is a LOT to see/do in and around it. It's also great throughout the seasons, so you can experience differences each time you visit. #ParkChat
