A6 The trees of @CongareeNPS surprised me when I learned they are some of the oldest in the country. I love walking the Boardwalk Trail admiring those massive trees. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6) #Parkchat One night, when in the primitive campgrounds in @Volcanoes_NPS , I got turned around, I lost sight of my tent and my phone died (silly me, using as a flash light) an ohia tree saved me from slipping into a crack, it looked bottomless upon inspecting, in the morning.

A7 Mesa Verde, unlike other national parks, did not implement control burns due to the omnipresence of archeological resources, and this has resulted in large wildfires that burned two-thirds of the park’s area within the last 15 years. #parkchat

A4) Hempstead Lake state park is the closest protected forest. It has several lakes and a bike trail. Unfortunately, a lot of people forget it's there. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A7 #parkchat The fire-ravaged area near Red’s Meadow in the Sierras. The fire was in the ‘92 and the regrowth takes so long in that climate. It sure opened up some nice views though…

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks To me, it means that changing your outlook and your mindset is possible through nature. Self discovery, discovery of the world around us. it’s all in nature. #ParkChat #FindYourPark

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks #parkchat A8 it brings to mind watching my kids run in front of me, out to explore every park we visit. To keep that child's eye when you hike, taking it all in completely! 😍

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @HaleakalaNPS I never doubted you! Also, I feel like I need to set up an epic trivia battle between you and @WildWithinHer. It would be amazing! #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A8 #ParkChat It makes me think of my hikes along the Pacific Crest Trail. I pass between lots of trees and every day I see something new.

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6: Best tree experience for me has to be at Yosemite National Park! Endless trees with great mountains and waterfalls to compliment them. #ParkChat @louisbink

A8 It means I can walk into a forest and close the door on those people who insist on hiking in flip flops. #ParkChat
