replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3: There is not enough space in one tweet. Deserts have intrigued and inspired me since I first visited one. The landscape, the specific rock formations, the views, the history. The feeling of being alone. #ParkChat

A3. The Desert is what drew us to our home...SLC. “Only place in the world type places” #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3 I do! We tend to head to mountains so a desert park is so different. Love love @SaguaroNPS and those beautiful cacti. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3: I wasn’t sure how I would feel about @PetrifiedNPS maybe it didn’t have much to offer. WRONG. So much history there and that’s what I connected with. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3 #parkchat Having grown up in Canada the desert is very foreign and remote. I’m getting the chance to explore some of SoCal’s desert but would really love to see the parks in Utah.

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3: Is "all of the parks in Utah are glorious desert landscapes" a proper answer? #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks #parkchat A3 I think we are intreagued by deserts because they are so different from our mountain pine forests. Totally awesome.

A3. I'll take the Sonoran, Chihuahuan, Great Basin, and Mojave. Any sites, really. I've loved everywhere I've been in the Southwest. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3 Want to spend more time at @DeathValleyNPS during a cooler time than July. What were we thinking. #ParkChat

A3 A desert is like a canvas which we paint with our minds; it is a reminder of mortality and fragility, a place where the interdependence of life is made manifest #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3) Whenever I'm in Sedona I feel that I need to touch bases with the Desert Parks nearby, Montezuma Castle, Toozigut, Walnut Canyon, Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monuments as well as Grand Canyon National Park. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3 #parkchat Honestly, the best desert areas are definitely the ones outside of national parks.

replying to @coasthikergirl @59NationalParks A3 con’t #parkchat I also want to get to Craters of the Moon NM. It’s not too far away from home.

A3 @CanyonlandsNPS has always been one of my fave desert parks. for backpacking The Maze, hiking The Needles, and biking The White Rim. Not as crowded either as neighboring Arches. #parkchat
Biking White Rim.

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3 And I'll tell you one more thing I love. The smell of rain in the desert. Wish I could bottle it. #ParkChat

A3 Because of the desert's sparse vegetation, the landforms are totally revealed like the bare bones of the earth #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute A3. Deserts are not wastelands! My first desert was Big Bend NP, birding trip. Years later I visited Saguaro NP-found total enchantment in the Sonoran desert. Wow, the vegetation is amazing. Deserts are all so different, often misunderstood. #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3 I didn’t realize how much I like the desert until I drove Phoenix to south rim of @GrandCanyonNPS I really love the desert landscape...I guess I like the feel of wide open spaces. Most recently Glen Canyon NRA (And it’s always a good hair day in the desert 😉) #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute A3: the first deserts I ever visited were in Madagascar and Namibia. I live far from deserts, but loved @SaguaroNPS, @BryceCanyonNPS, @ZionNPS - the colors - shades of orange, blue sky, with green sprinkled in. #parkchat

A3 Just like in the Bible, the desert is a symbol, and a reminder, of how we haven't gotten to where we want to be yet #parkchat

TheDetourEffect

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3 #ParkChat I think I just love how VAST they feel, the immensity of it. It makes me feel like I'm participating, I'm taking advantage of the privilege of being alive. I have that reverence for wooded areas too but there it's a quieter feeling; in a desert it knocks me on my ass

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3. Don’t have much desert time, which is surprising to me because I loved Death Valley so much. Could well add a desert visit or two this year. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A3. The desert is my favorite place on earth. I particularly love the Sonoran Desert - Organ Pipe is my favorite National Monument - I also love the Mojave National Preserve and the Chihuahuan Desert of Texas and New Mexico. #ParkChat
