replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer As you know, Fred Harvey also ran the food & drink services on Santa Fe trains, including the Super Chief, considered the best ever train in the U.S. Take a look at its dinner menu: https://t.co/dOxbkxdc6s #parkchat

replying to @GPJohnston @GPJohnston @WildWithinHer We can hardly wait to go back! I highly recommend a multi-day visit. There is a National Wildlife Refuge nearby as well. #parkchat

A9) Downloading the official NPS map can be really helpful in planning and depending on the park, the website could have good pre-planed drives. We often get advice from Twitter, too! #ParkChat #travel

replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip #parkchat Don't. Trust. Google. Maps. Talk to the Rangers about time and distance, or locals, or other Parkchat folks! Start really early to avoid the crowds. Make time for stopping at most of the pullouts!

replying to @MattsRoadTrip A10. My number one tip is to teach yourself about backcountry safety and #LeaveNoTrace principles. Keeping yourself safe and keeping our wild lands wild are the two best ways to ensure many more wonderful visits to our precious parks & #PublicLands! #ParkChat

replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip Yes. All of them. Always. But we have a rule- If there’s a boat tour? TAKE IT. #FindYourPark #ParkChat

replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip A3: We tent camp, preferably in the backcountry. Here's our site in @DeathValleyNPS last April. We were 11 miles from a paved road. #ParkChat

replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip Go with an open mind. Take your time. Listen. Wait for something awesome to happen. And stay for the sunset. #FindYourPark #ParkChat
