replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes We are huge fans of @GreatBasinNPS It has a really interesting vibe, great night skies, a cool cave and much more. Plus plenty of parking spaces. #ParkChat

A3 My fave off the beaten path NP is @Troosevelt in North Dakota. So much wildlife and badlands scenery. #parkchat

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes #parkchat A3 how about a shout out to @BlackCanyonNPS or COLO? Close to one another and less busy by far. And boy the views impress! 😍

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes A4) @PointReyesNPS ! Their visitor center was simply amazing and we learned so much and were so engaged, we actually spent close to 45 minutes longer than that we expected! #ParkChat

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes #parkchat A4 oh man, so many! But our fave by far is the Quarry @DinosaurNPS! 🦕 There's even a place to touch bones! 🙂

A5) Watchman Trail at Zion. It's a pretty easy trail, you get a great overlook without the risk of Angels Landing. #ParkChat #hiking

A4 At @VicksburgNPS they have a partial restoration of the ironclad USS Cairo beneath a massive white tent with a small museum to explore. It was fascinating! #ParkChat

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes A2: traveling in the offseason has worked so well for us! We had most of @ChacoCultureNHP all to ourselves in October. Ditto @DeathValleyNPS death in April. It was just us and the pup fish at sunset. #ParkChat

A5. Mainly because I raised it prior, let’s go with Table Mountain. Best view of the Tetons, hands down. #ParkChat

replying to @AlongfortheTrip @AlongfortheTrip @DryTortugasNPS You'll never get more off-the-beaten-path than if you make it to the Manu'a Islands Unit of @Amer_SamoaNPS - it took me two days and four connections to fly from the Manu'a Islands to Miami! But so worth it! #ParkChat

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes A4 Not in a national park, but the Rocky Reach Dam on the Columbia River has an absolutely incredible visitor center and museum! When we were there last June we had the place all to ourselves. #ParkChat

A5 @TheNatchezTrace runs alongside, and sometimes over, the old Natchez Trace Trail. There are sections you can still hike today, including the Sunken Trace pictured here. #ParkChat

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes A5: We were surprised there was no one else in @lakemeadnps's Owl Canyon when we visited last year. #ParkChat

A5) Being alone with your thoughts in @RockyNPS in winter was a cool experience. Nobody else around on the Grand Lake side. #ParkChat
