A11 Yellowstone again! It was already a favorite for Bonnie and quickly became a favorite for Grant. It wasn’t our first National Park visit, but it made a huge impact on us as a couple! We have been back three times since! #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @RockyNPS A11 I kind of think Yellowstone, simply because we both love it so much, or perhaps Rocky Mountain because we love the mountains so much. Ours might be Cloudcroft, New Mexico, which is our quick getaway spot. #ParkChat

A11 Probably Thomas Cole NHS, for the reason I gave in A6, plus it was one of the places that inspired us to set the goal of moving to the Catskills #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @RockyNPS A11. “Our Park” is @HarpersFerryNPS. I proposed to Mrs. Parkasaurus there and we celebrated by hiking Maryland Heights. We returned 9 months later to get married there, and have brought each of our kids back there as soon as we could. #ParkChat
