Q10 - What is your number one tip for anyone preparing to visit our parks or public lands? #ParkChat


replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip A10: Have a backup! Always. (if not a full plan, an idea) #ParkChat

replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip A10. Start at the visitor center. Ah, but what if it’s closed due to government shutdown you may ask? Be flexible, ask your social media pals for recommendations, visit a state park instead. 😉#parkchat
