replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax A2 I would say all of the above, but I especially like anything mountains because it tends to be cooler. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute #parkchat A1 any hike @GuadalupeMtnsNP! When we arrived on our #9parks12days trip, it was 104 degrees, so hiking w kiddos was out of the question. We WILL go back again to hike it!

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @iStefPayne @Wild_Tribute @SequoiaKingsNPS Depending on what the snowpack on Glens Pass looks like as we get closer. I could bail to Thousand Island Lakes as an alternate hike. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute Aha. Then that is worth it as the side trips are awesome. #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute A1 Bright Angel Trail @GrandCanyonNPS Had very limited time when I visited and really wanted to get below the rim so I hiked 20 minutes down the trail then turned around and headed back up having to pull over for a mule train once 😬 #ParkChat

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax A2: Tough questions! Mountains have always been my favorite, rivers & waterfalls! But now living in the desert, I like the vastness of the desert & rocky mountains! #parkchat

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax A1 We need a forest regardless of elevation. We enjoy the sounds (birdsong) and the smells. #ParkChat

replying to @ParksandPoints @ParksandPoints @ShenandoahNPS I made up for it by hiking some flatter trails near one of the visitor centers and came across a field of hundreds of blooming flowers! #ParkChat

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax A2) Actually I don't prefer one type of location over another, what I do like are trails that provide me with views and/or something to see along the way & at the destination. #ParkChat

A2. I love forests, alpine, subalpine, and deserts. From the tree tunnel feeling to wide open vistas. #ParkChat

@beckyjlomax A2 #parkchat Trails through high meadows to a beautiful alpine lake surrounded by soaring mountains. Because it’s my paradise.
I was lucky to have this gem of a spot all to myself!
melissa_sue
replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax @Wild_Tribute All of the above! Although, if mosquitos are heavily involved - I may stay back from that terrain pending the season. I’m a magnet and get VERY grumpy. #ParkChat

replying to @naturetechfam @naturetechfam @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @GuadalupeMtnsNP That’s way too many parks for so few days! You must want to revisit all of them! #parkchat

replying to @naturetechfam @naturetechfam @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute @GuadalupeMtnsNP Same here. @DavidWDanner really wanted to hike Guadalupe Peak. #ParkChat

A2 I like trails that traverse more than one ecosystem, like the hike up Mt LeConte @GreatSmokyNPS or the Hoh River Trail @OlympicNP #parkchat

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax I am a Mountains/Alpine Lakes/Meadows kinda guy. The refreshing air and the views are the reward for a hard hike up #ParkChat

replying to @somanyparks @somanyparks @brian_heyman @59NationalParks @AcadiaNPS The Beehive is dandy. Speaking of, would like to go back to do the Precipice Trail. It was closed due to Peregrine Falcon nesting when we were visiting. #ParkChat

Q3. Share one of your fave short park hikes or strolls that you could repeat again and again? Words or pics are great. #parkchat

replying to @unconpeace @unconpeace Skip a trail sometime. You’ll get a kick out of the looks. #ParkChat

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax A2) #ParkChat I like trails to waterfalls or a lake, so I can hike then cool off and at the beach, of course, because I love the sound of the waves and watching the sunset/sunrise.

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax #parkchat A2 so many choices! 😁 I guess a hike up to a high point for grand vistas would be our fave. Followed by hikes to waterfalls.

A2 I most enjoy hiking through forests because even on hot, humid summer days it tends to be cooler beneath the canopy of leaves. And because if I'm hiking late I'll be treated to the Chorus of the Tree Frogs! #ParkChat

@59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute A1. If I can string together trails or create a loop, that's great.
The most recent trail that I skipped would've actually made a loop. It wasn't a NP trail. Rather the scenic trail at Sawteeth Mtn. Kiddo & I just did the Weld Trail.We wanna hit Scenic Tr in the future #parkchat

replying to @RCGibby73 @RCGibby73 @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute I would reverse that...#parkchat Come up the BA . It is less steep and has water

replying to @beckyjlomax @beckyjlomax A2 Few feelings match making it to a payoff view when hiking in the mountains IMO #ParkChat
