A5 Somebody in a previous Q mentioned the Mountain of the Holy Cross (on Forest Service land); snow makes a cross on the side of the mountain. Thomas Moran painted it. Damn I gotta leave my job at the office! #parkchat

RT @t_jh2009: @59NationalParks A4) I would say so, I've sauntered in various locations around Lake Tahoe. #ParkChat https://t.co/XIhNfrYee3

replying to @SouthernerSays @SouthernerSays @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute Ha, no; not at all. Had no idea there was even a second way of saying it until there was some incident with a college football broadcast a year or two ago, and now I almost always hear it with the short A. #parkchat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash @Wild_Tribute Good answer—and also, iirc, home to the very first hiking trail in America. #parkchat

Q6 #ParkChat Many people, including me, have a fear of heights. What strategies do you use in the mountains to cope with steep drop offs? Have you ever been deterred from hiking a mountain trail or driving a mountain road due to your fear of heights?

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5) In Death Valley or more like beneath is what might be the world's largest aquaifer that is partly fed from the nearby mountains rain & snow runoff. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5: The Rockies. That was the first time I'd ever seen snow. #ParkChat

replying to @DryTortugasFilm @DryTortugasFilm @Wild_Tribute Yes! My son wanted to swim in Jenny Lake @GrandTetonNPS on a June trip. I stopped him at his knees. I didn't want to have to go in after him! 😁 #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A5. I remember visiting Rocky Mountain NP for the first time, and being awed that snow remained in July. Pink snow. Later, as a birder, I visited mountain snow fields in summer to find rosy finches. #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute As a desert dweller, the scale and sound of the glaciers in Alaska was nearly unnerving. It's one the reasons I've scheduled to finish my national parks quest in Glacier Bay NP this June. #parkchat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash @SouthernerSays @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute I believe the long A is the Northern pronunciation and the short A is Southern #parkchat

replying to @t_jh2009 @t_jh2009 @59NationalParks Lake Tahoe is breathtaking. Skied there once 20 or so years ago. #parkchat

@59NationalParks A4. By the end of this chat, you folks outside of the NE are either going to hate Mt Washington or plan a meetup there, but there are a few waterfalls on the hike up that further make it NP-worthy, or just worth seeing because.

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A6: Yeah I’ve been turned to a stone due to heights a few times. Couldn’t make it over Trail Ridge Road. On hikes now I just take my time and get used to the surroundings and relax before proceeding #ParkChat

replying to @RobElvington @RobElvington @LassenNPS Hi! I rely on you to help me plan my hikes! I've never done the full moon hike, but I'm super excited to summit again with my family in tow! Thanks for sharing this great photo. I love where we live. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A6 Yes I do. I have plastered myself against a rock or two at the Grand Canyon until I can get my courage up to keep going. I shut my eyes at key points when driving. (really, hubs drives and I ride along) #ParkChat

A6 My therapist cured my fear of heights by pushing me out of a plane #notreally #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks I don’t have an issue with heights. I just go slow. I was more scared of ice and slipping. I did what I could of the trail and turned back when I got really nervous. #FindYourPark #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks #parkchat A6 no fear here. But the rest of NTF. haha. Here was a small climb up Notch Trail @badlandsnps and I had to carry our little man down, monkey style! I scrambled up and down, much to their dismay. 😆

A3. A3.Peaks Peak comes to mind immediately. Its drive up may be even more beautiful than the cog railway's, it inspired America the Beautiful, its views are impressive, & its only such U.S. place (other than Mt. Washington) so accessible to the physically challenged #ParkChat

A4) It's high up in altitude and it's almost #ValentinesDay so, we're going with Heart Lake in Olympic National Park (pic by Hedwig in Washington) #ParkChat

A6 Actually, I remember being nervous on the way up Angels Landing @ZionNPS, but I practically hopscotched my way down #parkchat

replying to @RCGibby73 @RCGibby73 Parts of Trail Ridge are pretty unnerving. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute A6. I'm usually ok with driving. At least, I haven't yet been deterred from a road. It's much easier to be the driver rather than passenger. #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks Yep! Made it to Scouts @ZionNPS and started toward Angels Landing but turned around and waited for @CarrieNobles93 to complete the hike. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A1 Mt. Rainier is by far the most spectacular mountains in America, and I honestly think it's among the finest in the world. It dominates the Pacific Northwest with its massive glaciers. It has dozens of spectacular waterfalls, and the most magnificent meadows. #parkchat
