Q3: @AlaskaNPS units are remote so it’s good to hike with a friend for wildlife safety or in the event of an emergency. Who’s your fav hiking partner? (It’s okay if they have 4 legs!) #BFF #ParkChat


A3: Of course, our fav hiking partners are park rangers! While we cannot offer hikes thru this 4-million-acre wilderness, we suggest you chat a ranger up at our PTA visitor center or one of our bc ranger stns! They’ve got the intel on the local conditions. #HumbleBrag #ParkChat

replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS @AlaskaNPS A3) It use to be my Dad, we'd go for various types of walks & hikes up until he came down with Pancreatic Cancer in his late 70s. #ParkChat


replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS @AlaskaNPS A3 I enjoy hiking the most with my wife but have always had fun walking around with this guy. #ParkChat @t_jh2009

replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS @AlaskaNPS #parkchat A3 My better half. Followed closely by my almost 12yo. They push me to go further every time!


replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS @AlaskaNPS A3) Wife is my favorite...of course. Then my two sons. #parkchat

replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS A3: Combination of both but I use the map and compass first and GPS to verify if I’m unsure #ParkChat

replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS @AlaskaNPS A3: my family. Husband and junior park rangers. #ParkChat

replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS A3) Really want to get better at the old school map and compass navigation. I worry about getting lost and my oldest son thinks its funny. I do "cheat" with technology. #parkchat

replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS @AlaskaNPS A3 My better half and by better half I mean the most directionally gifted of the two of us 😉 #ParkChat


replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS @AlaskaNPS A3. No doubt - Mrs. Parkasaurus is our best hiking partner - like on this hike in @DenaliNPS #ParkChat
