replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A7 #parkchat The hoot of owls, the howls of coyotes, a loon’s call are all awesome sounds to hear.

replying to @ParksandPoints @ParksandPoints @Wild_Tribute That I can do. Navigating by the stars? Not so much. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A7 #Parkchat I like the cracking of twigs when you are in your tent for the night. Wondering what is walking around the campsite is awesome!

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @TrueNorthTrail @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS #ParkChat I went to the Yukon in the Autumn (Fall) back in 2006. I don't have any pictures of dark skies, there may have been but I don't remember. Maybe, I'll have to go back in Winter. This is my picture from Whitehorse back in 2006. https://t.co/VmzZDsoiKF

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A7) Owls, crickets & coyotes are pretty cool, its the stashing of the raccoons that is a bit bothersome. #ParkChat

replying to @coasthikergirl @coasthikergirl @ArchesNPS The loon's call is spectacular. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS A4 My fave place to view the night sky is from the backcountry…like Lake Elizabeth or top of Boulder Pass in Glacier NP. #parkchat

A7. The cry of a pack of coyotes never dulls. The welcome sound of birds singing at dawn is bliss. #parkchat

@beckyjlomax @ArchesNPS @CavernsNPS No, but he may have thought it was a bear and squealed

replying to @TrueNorthTrail @TrueNorthTrail @ArchesNPS He knows Orion and the Big Dipper, but then he shows me shapes and some animals. He's getting better than me! Haha. #parkchat

@1stWorldRanger Yes, exploring a place by Night isn't at all the same experience as during the Day.

@ArchesNPS A7) I'm with @Parkasaur on loons!
My dream would be to hear a wolf howl though. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS The rustling and grunting outside of you tent is amazing. Amazingly disconcerting. #ParkChat

A7. I love to hear coyotes calling to one another. And owls. We hear barred owls outside our bedroom sometimes--so neat. #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A7 - my favorite nighttime sound was pure silence at 0430 @DeathValleyNPS. No animals, cars, planes, running water - just hearing the sounds of my thoughts #bliss #ParkChat

A7 My very first memory of this life was getting scared by the sound of an owl. I must have been 1-2 years old #parkchat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A7 I like the sound of the wind blowing through the trees and water flowing over rocks in a stream - very relaxing #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A6: I’m usually focused on trying to see a shooting star, but rarely do. My kids see unicorns of course. #parkchat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A7: Listening to the crunches and snaps of twigs and branches while guessing what kind of creature is out there. It’s most likely a squirrel but amplified in your mind to be a bear. #ParkChat

replying to @WildWithinHer @WildWithinHer @InnerCompass @sofidanner One of our rangers mentioned it at morning briefing today. I do doublecheck & did find one conflicting source, but from what I’ve seen I don’t think he would have said something without being sure of it. And I found a corroborating source too. #ParkChat

Q8. Tonight's the spring equinox, and there’s a full (super)moon! (Go look after #ParkChat.) Have you ever taken a full-moon hike? Where did you go? What did you have to do differently from a daytime hike?

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Stars252525 @ArchesNPS I'm really hoping we get a good comet in my lifetime! #ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A7. I love night time in the forest with all the chirping crickets, cicadas and birds, with the wind rustling the leaves and sometimes babbling brooks! It's the best! #ParkChat
TrueNorthTrail
replying to @StuartMHurlbut @StuartMHurlbut @59NationalParks @ArchesNPS @CanyonlandsNPS What a beautiful picture. I went on two separate trips, I lived in mayo, and on the second trip in tuktoyaktuk. The darkness in the winter is different, but still dark and from what I can recall I beautiful Hue of color in the horizon.#ParkChat

replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS #parkchat A7 Love coyotes (when you hear them, nothing bigger is around!), but most chilling yet cool was a bobcat that sounded like someone's child was dying. OMG. Worst night of sleep EVER. I love all the owls and their unique calls. Wolves, loons, deer snorts!

A7 Crickets with the crackling of the camp fire. Life don't get much better than that! @NatlParkService #ParkChat

A7 This question reminds me of why living in a place where you have to have AC on at night is for the birds - can I move back up North yet? #parkchat

A2. Hmmm....probably middle of the Adirondacks or possibly Arches/Natural Bridges, if memory serves.
