Mountains (in the singular)
ParkChat

Q1. We've talked mountains before on #ParkChat, but never in the singular. If you had to choose one, what mountain within our National Parks and public lands deserves the crown. Why?

Q2 #ParkChat During the first year of our 59 National Park adventure I climbed 9 mountains (couldn’t do it now 😉). Which Park Mountains have you summited? Please count your car summits too. Planning on climbing one soon? Describe your experience(s).

Q3. Did you know Long's Peak is the only 14er in Colorado within a National Park? What mountain outside a National Park today could easily have a National Park created around it with the mountain itself as the focal point? #ParkChat

Q4 #ParkChat There really is nothing more breathtaking than a mountain lake or waterfall. Have you had experience with such features while hiking in the mountains? Tell us where you saw lakes and waterfalls and share a photo or two.

Q5. Snow and water are constants on mountains. Anything in particular on a certain mountain within our public lands that is particularly unique that adds to its splendor? #ParkChat

Q7. Peak Baggers, High Pointers, High Altitude Seekers all have one thing in common. Summits. What's your most memorable summit? Tell us about it. #ParkChat
