replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @purpleosh @MattsRoadTrip @wander_filled @CHISNPS @PointReyesNPS One of the true under-rated parks. Wow. We've also never experienced so many amazing natural smells as hiking through the forest there! We can't wait to go back #parkchat #California

replying to @wander_filled @wander_filled @Wild_Tribute A walk on the beach @OlympicNP would be quite nice for a first date. Strolling on the beach with the sand between your toes, exploring tide pools and watching the sunset. #ParkChat

A8 We haven’t stayed in many lodges, so this is tough for us. We did enjoy the Old Faithful snow lodge - it’s a nice, quiet, somewhat isolated getaway in the winter. Great for relaxing and spending quality time together. Also, the bathhouses in Hot Springs NP are great! #ParkChat

A8. Not a National Park campground, rather a BLM prize in central Utah, the Little Grand Canyon. Drive to and sleep right on the rim. Incredible. #ParkChat

replying to @wander_filled @wander_filled A8) If cost isn't a factor then I'd go with the Majestic Lodge in Yosemite National Park where you'll be able to wake up to the beautiful views of Yosemite Valley. #ParkChat

replying to @wander_filled @wander_filled A9) Avoid going to a National Park during extreme weather conditions since it can add unwanted stress to the situation. #ParkChat

replying to @wander_filled @wander_filled A9 // always a lesson in humility. How tiny we are yet how every movement we make has some impact. I learn immensely w/ every visit and that’s a huge reason I’ve dedicated so much of my time in these awesome places. It’s a privilege to be allowed in them. 😍 #parkchat
