replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes Mrs 59 tells people all the time how much she enjoyed an early morning stroll on the boardwalk at @Congaree2016NPS Great colors, birdsong, and incredible hardwood trees. #ParkChat

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes A6: The Ute Trail from Milner Pass in RMNP is surprisingly light trafficked. We saw only two other people on our hike. Everyone else diverted up to Mt Ida or just hung out at the Divide #ParkChat

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes #Parkchat A5 There's a really neat self-guided trail at the top of the Blacktail Plateau area @YellowstoneNPS that no one seems to stop for. We love the views up there!

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes .A4. I'll give a shoutout to the @March4RightsNPS Lowndes County Visitor Center on the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail - which honestly deserves recognition as a full-fledged National Park. It does a great job of telling a heroic story. #ParkChat

A7) Loop Road in Big Cypress National Preserve is a real treat of a drive! Escape the highway by taking this scenic drive deep in the the preserve. #Alligator sightings are nearly guaranteed! Did Al Capone own a speakeasy off the road? You'll have to go to find out! #ParkChat

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes A7 - mentioned earlier the Burr trail from Boulder Utah into the waterpocket fold area of Capital Reef NP. Saw one other vehicle in 3 hours of driving. #offthebeatenpath #ParkChat

A7 We used to drive the Inside Road in the North Fork of Glacier for a challenging pothole road adventure, but several years ago, floods washed out the central section. Now, we bike it. #ParkChat

A7 Not a lot of people know about the Foothills Parkway at @GreatSmokyNPS, although it did get a jolt of attention when a new section opened this past autumn. I have not driven the new section yet. #ParkChat

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes Not a National Park but the loop road at @BigCypressNPS is well off the beaten path and an amazing drive. Plus it’s easy to scare your wife by parking next to an alligator. #ParkChat #Florida

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes .A5. The Virginius Island Trail @HarpersFerryNPS often gets over-looked, but it is a very pleasant walk among nature and history. #ParkChat

A8 I'm a BIG fan of the #AppalachianTrail. I've spent days hiking the trail through Virginia and the Roan Highlands of Tennessee that really shows you what the Appalachian wilderness is all about. #ParkChat

A8) The Ptarmigan Falls/Iceberg Lake trail at @GlacierNPS is pretty easy to access but gets pretty wilderness-y rather quick. #ParkChat

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes a8) the vastness of canyonlands is mind boggling, seeing the horizon and the monsoon clouds forming in the summer, mind is blown ! #Parkchat

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes A5 The short trails near Two Medicine Lake in @GlacierNPS are beautiful, but the area is less popular and crowded than Many Glacier or the Going-to-the-Sun road. #ParkChat

A8 While other trails in Many Glacier of Glacier NP are super crowded, not that many people go to Cracker Lake. #ParkChat
