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 @lostpaddles @lostpaddles @LakeClarkNPS @BigBendNPS How would an old Jeep with standard tires do off road in Big Bend? Would I need more clearance? #ParkChat

A2 That is one of the biggest obstacles to visiting a lot of the parks in Alaska. Still, we are already planning an Alaska #roadtrip for retirement. and flights everywhere we can’t drive. #parkchat

replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS A2: I don’t think I’ve ever taken my own car into a park, but here’s a pic of a bunch of people wayyyyy to close to a bear in @GlacierNPS from inside of the rental car. 😂 #parkchat

replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS A2 #parkchat My neighborhood park is just down the road, but I can't wait to fly into Lake Clark on June 16. Will be my 409/410 national park units! Hoping to finish all 419 in Glacier Bay NP on June 28.

replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS @Wild_Tribute @AlaskaNPS Definitely our national bark ranger, Eleanor! We always love when there are pup-friendly trails so she can come along for the adventures. #ParkChat

A4: We suggest both! Have a map & compass with you and practice orienteering before you go. While electronics are convenient, do not rely on cell service or your GPS to know where you are. Most of AK does not have cell service & even GPS can fail in mountainous terrain. #ParkChat
RCGibby73
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 @Wild_Tribute Im very GPS focused but @brian_heyman is map and basically courier pigeon all the way 😂😂 (he’s never steered us wrong though!) #ParkChat

replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS A4) We use both, but mostly #GPS for serious hikes. Occasionally, it's also "Take a pic at the trail head or Visitor Center".....#parkchat
