replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax #parkchat A8 The boardwalk around Upper Geyser Basin @YellowstoneNPS was incredible. I thought it would be too crowded and underwhelming, and I was wrong on both accounts!

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax A8. #Parkchat The stunning Views at @Volcanoes_NPS and how the light made things look so differntly throughout the year and days there, just never gets old, also pretty cool to hike through a lava tube.

A8) It's a short walk, they said, you'll be in Maine in no time, they said. Lies. All lies. #AppalachianTrail #AT #ParkChat

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax A9. #Parkchat, cretainly my first backcountry experience, being only 6 years old, but it was possibly the very reason I initially fell in love with the National Parks in the First place.

replying to @ParksandPoints @ParksandPoints @Wild_Tribute Yes I've been there and I know what you mean. Palisades has the same carving issue. It is very weird #parkchat

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax A9 #parkchat Hiking to Muir Camp at 10,000 feet on the shoulder of Mount Rainier in springtime. You start at Paradise and climb 5,000 feet over 5 miles. I’ve only done it on snow and have no idea what it looks like in the summer. @MountRainierNPS

replying to @cleverwomanNY @cleverwomanNY @Wild_Tribute Is it a Jersey thing? That's all we could think of. Really odd. You just don't see that on the other side of the Hudson. #ParkChat

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax A9: The hike up to Mills lake for Solar Eclipse 2016 was worth it. 4 miles or so from Bear Lake past the thundering Alberta Falls, ending with this view #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee @beckyjlomax @AcadiaNPS @MrsDLarsen It's mostly a small ledge with brush below it and another ledge below that. The small ledges make it feel very high and very unsafe! But if it weren't safe enough, it would be a trail! #ParkChat

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax A9) I would say that attempting to hike to the top of Half Dome with a fallen arch was my most strenuous, though I didn't make it to the top I saw some beautiful terrain that most didn't because I eventually to saunter like John Muir & look at my surroundings. #ParkChat

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax #parkchat A9 In my late 20s I took some HS kids backpacking along @PicturedRocksNL and as fabulous as it was, I was not prepared to be packing so much weight. It was HARD! I learned so much.

A9 The 1.4-mile roundtrip hike to Plunge Basin at Linville Falls on the @BlueRidgeNPS. The final half mile is a 600' descent to the basin at the base of the waterfall. The hike back was...painful. But I LOVED it! #ParkChat

Q10. If you could beam (like in Star Trek) to a trailhead anywhere right now for a hike, what trail would that be and why? #parkchat

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax I climbed Longs Peak as a wee lad of 23. All because of peer pressure. I vowed never to get up at 2:00 AM to hike again. Steep, cold and dangerous. #ParkChat No pic. Didn’t own a camera at the time.
