Parks at Dark

A11. Sunflower seeds we have found are the best remedy to stay alert and awake. #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @ArchesNPS A11 We try not to be out at night, simply because of the possibility of hitting wildlife. Sometimes we have to be and then just try to drive slowly and watch for eyeballs. ;) #ParkChat

A11. If I have to drive, I do it reallllly slowly. It has the added benefit of resulting in some wildlife spotting. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @ArchesNPS A11. I tend to avoid driving at night in parks and stick to hiking wider, easier trails or just staying at my campsite and enjoying the view! #ParkChat

A11) We try to not travel roads at night in the parks. One, you generally miss most of the scenery, Two, a lot of the roads can be tricky drives even in daylight (looking at you Trail Ridge Road @RockyNPS ) #Parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @ArchesNPS A11) I'd make sure that I get to the park with plenty of daylight remaining so I can properly set up camp, cook & clean up. If not I'll drive slow with the brights on at various times so I don't hit any type of wildlife including another park visitor. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @ArchesNPS A11. I sought out the safety of a cabin for the #parkchat meetup, thereby avoiding the danger of the camping parkchatter contingent. ;)

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A11. Sometimes hikes take longer than people expect, and they're out after dark without a light source. It's always good to have that extra light source (not your cell phone) with you, even if you're not hiking at night. #ParkChat

A11 I just stay in one place! Nighttime is a good time for that, anyway #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @ArchesNPS #parkchat A11 Don't be in a hurry. Pack the night vision camera. Bring pillows so the kids can crash out in the back. Stop often to listen. And look. 😍

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @ArchesNPS A11 #parkchat I really try to avoid driving at night. Driven many times through the Northwoods of Wisconsin at night white knuckling it while seeing all the glowing eyes of deer on the side of the road.

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @ArchesNPS A11: we have so many deer where we live so we are used to being very careful. When camping, we stay close to the tent and then inside for the night. We make sure everything is cleaned up before we turn in to avoid furry friends getting too close. #parkchat
