Q1 #ParkChat Unfortunately life has a way of limiting how long we can stay at a Park so we have to make the most of it. When planning a Park visit how do you decide which trails to hike and which to skip? Name one that you skipped but are planning to go back and try @Wild_Tribute

Q2. In general, do you most enjoy park trails on oceanfront, islands, forest, desert, canyons, mountains, high meadows, alpine tundra, lakes, volcanic areas, or caves? And why? #parkchat

Q11. Bushwhacking is the art of navigating when a trail is not present. Highly looked down upon in sensitive vegetation areas, but at times necessary depending the scenario and Park. Any noteworthy bushwhacks you’ve experienced in the field? Tell us about it. #ParkChat
