A8 To me? A forest is a gateway to both the heights of adventure as the depths of the soul. #parkchat

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! 😍

@59NationalParks A9. Well, it reminds me of advice I got about tree skiing: "Look at the space between the trees and not the trees. If you look at the trees, you'll ski into them." And just like that I was cured of any desire to ski between trees. #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A8) Similar to a door opening up new and exciting behind it the same can be said about the opening between the two pine trees in the forest. #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.

Q9. Fun Question. Trees can have different scents. Any that stand out? #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A8 It puts me in mind of my own overly active imagination that puts a lot of fantasy into all my outdoor excursions! #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

A8 It is not literally an escape from this world, but an invitation to remake and renew it #parkchat

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

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A9 #ParkChat The western red cedar is one of my favourites. I’ll peel off some bark just to enjoy it more. My husband says he enjoys magnolia. The wood is fragrant too!

@Wild_Tribute Cypress have a wonderful loamy, earthy, sweet smell. I crave it.
Redwoods, like Muir Woods smell AMAZING. I’ll never forget walking into MW for the first time & getting goosebumps that I was actually smelling a Redwood. Not a candle. An actual redwood. #FindYourPark #ParkChat

replying to @RCGibby73 @RCGibby73 @59NationalParks I prefer to say I leave the "fake" world behind for the real one. Nature is real. Everything else is not. #ParkChat

A8. I love Western red cedar, and also the butterscotch scent of Ponderosa pines. I think most trees smell good! #ParkChat

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @InnerCompass @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @HaleakalaNPS I'm in the middle of dinner but the short answer is that they were planted intentionally, along with several other species to reforest the island after cattle grazing stripped the land. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute #parkchat A9 as mentioned by others before, the poderosas are so strong, especially in summer heat! But I distinctly remember the smell of the sassafras trees growing up, when you would snap off a small branch and just hold it under your nose. Mmmmm.

replying to @Stars252525 @Stars252525 The white chalk that Aspens leave on your hands when you rub their trunks, can be used a natural substitute for sun screen (in a pinch) #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A9: OMG yes. The smell of the pine in the cold/wet weather, the smell of the laurel when it starts to get warm. Not only the smell of different trees, but different seasons, different weather, even different times of day. #ParkChat

Q10 #ParkChat It’s #NationalPieDay so I’m going to remind everyone that @CapitolReefNPS has a glorious fruit tree orchard. Here are the harvest times:
Harvest
Cherries: 6/11 - 7/7
Apricots: 6/27-7/28
Peaches: 8/4- 9/6
Apples: 9/7- 10/17
So what kind of pie are you hungry for?
