Q6 #ParkChat Which National Park that you’ve visited had the best “Tree Experience” for you? What was the most memorable aspect of that experience? @CongareeNPS ranks high on our list.
A6: Hiking up 1000 feet only to wander back into the Hidden Canyon at Zion through groves of trees that felt like they didn't belong was pretty special to me. #ParkChat https://t.co/ouxSM9EE0d
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6: RMNP so far has given bang for the buck when it comes to trees. Pines and Aspens forever #ParkChat
A6 Agree with @59NationalParks about Congaree, because unlike at other parks, there isn't anything else there :-) #parkchat
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6 Many of them, but the sense of total awe and amazement I had in @SequoiaKingsNPS doesn't happen often. #ParkChat
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6 - we were also amazed at the beauty & longevity of the bristlecone pines @GreatBasinNPS. Even more rewarding because of the effort to get up the trail to see them. #ParkChat
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6. Yep, Congaree is definitely on that list for me too. Got there in early May last year. Just a wonderful walk on that boardwalk, seeing massive trees unlike anything I recall ever seeing. #parkchat
A6. You expect to be wowed by the Sequoias and Redwoods, but being in the presence of Bristle Cones is truly remarkable. Seeking wisdom, head to Great Basin NP and the lonely stretches of Utah’s West Desert. #ParkChat
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6 #ParkChat Definitely @RedwoodNPS. I drove through on a road trip a few years back and got to spend a night in Jedediah Smith SP. I went back the next year with my husband to explore more of the complex.
A6 Aside from the obvious, I'm going with @OlympicNP - you get to see every stage of a tree's life, and the size of some of those suckers really floored me #parkchat
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS #parkchat A6 back 20 years and 3 months ago, 8 months before my brother died, he, his wife, and I went to @GrandCanyonNPS. This was the biggest tree I had ever seen, even bigger than any in the U. P. of MI. A very special tree and trip indeed.
A6. No way can I come up with one park for this. @MountRainierNPS, @OlympicNP, @RedwoodNPS, and @NCascadesNPS immediately come to mind. Hiking among 1000-year-old cedars deep in the North Cascades was unforgettable. #ParkChat
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6) Most recently it was the Rainforest in Blue Mountains National Park in Australia which was a welcome treat after not seeing hardly any trees during my train ride across the continent. #ParkChat
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

A6)I really love this narrow boardwalk @AcadiaNPS. the tree experience was beautiful. It was a quick walk around Jordan pond. #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.
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6 @OlympicNP is the park I always return to for tree experiences, but my most memorable single "tree experience" in a park has to have been visiting @RedwoodNPS - the sheer scale of the trees there is truly awe inspiring! #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6 Redwoods NP for grandeur or GSMNP for variety. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6) Olympic National Park, home to many giant trees, like this huge old western red cedar. #ParkChat
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @CongareeNPS A6. Perhaps Rocky Mountain NP, and for what might be an odd reason. After being on the trails in the trees, I drove up to the tundra to hike. Being above treeline is such a contrast. #parkchat
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
replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @CongareeNPS A6 #ParkChat: Ooh ooh the #MonteverdeCloudForest in Costa Rica! Because they were so ghostly:
