Off the Beaten Path
ParkChat

Q11 #ParkChat What is the closest “off the beaten path” Park or Public Land near your home (assuming you want to disclose it)? How often do you visit? What are its features and why do you enjoy it?

A11. Golden Spike National Historic Park (if bill passes, otherwise National Historic Site). Spiral Jetty makes it even more off the beaten path. #ParkChat

A11) Weir Farm NHS! Not totally sure it's off-the-beaten-path, but we love the scenery in all seasons! #parkchat @WeirFarmNPS


replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A11 The closest one to my REAL home (not where I currently reside) is John Boyd Thacher SP near Albany, NY - it's a geological Galapagos! I try to get there every time I visit family #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A11) @DryTortugasNPS , at least once a year if I can! I love everything about it, particularly the solitude and wildlife! Such a special place! #Parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks #parkchat A11 take your pick between @BlackHillsNF trails (esp Hell Canyon Trail) , @WindCaveNPS Elk Mtn Trail, or any trail at Jewel Cave N. M. All are mere minutes from our door! (photo from JECA)


replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks a11) Goblin valley state park in SE Utah,..hoodoos, family friendly, strange geology !! I only visit maybe once a year , I think they added some yurts to rent and some mtn biking trails too ! #parkchat

A11 The closet "off the beaten path" #nationalpark to me is @CongareeNPS. I don't get there nearly as often as I would like though because it's still a long day trip. #ParkChat
