replying to @DryTortugasFilm @DryTortugasFilm @Exotichikes @Wild_Tribute Man. I’d take a dose of Florida right now after a week that included a temp of -36 F and a wild 90 mile drive. #ParkChat

A1) For us, it's just getting away from the norms of home, exploring what we can, and having fun. All the parks are off the beaten path for us! #ParkChat


A1 Uhm. Well. My definition of "going off the beaten path" means finding the beaten path, and then going off it. #ParkChat


replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @Exotichikes A1) Any trail that's not clearly highlighted/marked in the Visitor Center. #ParkChat


A1 My definition of off-the-beaten path means going off trail to the top of something….like Static Peak in Grand Teton. #parkchat


A2 Unfortunately I have always found the best way to avoid the crowds and enjoy a hike off the beaten path is to get up early. Very early. Crack of dawn. With coffee. #ParkChat


A2 Hiking or climbing is my preference to get away from the masses. Usually after a few miles, the masses thin out, so putting down miles is necessary. Off trail above Hurricane Pass looking at Grand Teton. #parkchat


replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @Exotichikes Definitely never hear heavy breathing. 😬 #parkchat


replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @Exotichikes A1 Somewhere where you can go on a summer weekend and never see another soul. #ParkChat


A3) We would LOVE to visit American Samoa. For now, @DryTortugasNPS wins for most #offthebeatenpath I think. #ParkChat


A3) We haven't been there, but from our #Alaska planning, we would love to do the week long group hike out of the crater at Aniakchak NM & PRES to the Bering Sea. #Parkchat #All50Before40 @AniakchakNPS
