Q7) Roads are often a great way to see huge sections of our parks. Is there a road less traveled in a National Park that you recommend driving? #ParkChat

A7. Back to back here, and on a roll. The Cathedral Valley loop/drive in @CapitolReefNPS is a must do #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 You can't drive on it, but I recommend checking out the old Westside road in @MountRainierNPS if you have a bicycle! #ParkChat https://t.co/bFAcwzF69P
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 A7. Alaska Route 1, particularly in Fall Color season in early September provides some great views of @WrangellStENPS #ParkChat

replying to @Exotichikes @Exotichikes A7. Drive around national grasslands in SW Kansas, eastern Colorado, and Pawnee NG in Colorado. Get a feel for the Dustbowl. #parkchat
