A4) Had to significantly delay my planned visit to @SantaMonicaMtns because of the fires. Will be heading down there next month instead. #parkchat https://t.co/lgJ0QhX6x7

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A4: Visits to the same park....possibly forever :-) #ParkChat

A4 The first NP I visited was @ShenandoahNPS in 1993 - I didn't go back until 2016 #parkchat

A4. Has to be @RockyNPS. Went all the time when living in Denver. Haven’t been back since. #ParkChat

@tthrash A4 #Parkchat I used to live within a few hours drive of @JasperNP which is still one of my favouritest parks. I haven’t been in 6 years now.
Otherwise I’m ridiculously lucky to be within two hours drive to the middle of @NCascadesNPS

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A4. We’re trying to expand to new parks, so we haven’t made many return trips #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A4. #Parkchat Almost a year now! I did go to @EvergladesNPS in March but only for 2 nights!

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A4: My answer is incomplete until more Park visits. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A4 #Park It was #HotSprings National Park. First visit was in 1966. The next was in 2014. 48 years. Ugh. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A4: It was 10 yrs before we went back to @OrganPipeNPS. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A4) Still counting. Just not enough time to revisit most. At least not yet. Plans are to get to many again. The plan with the kids was to introduce and then they could go back for a deep dive later. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A4 Went to @GlacierNPS in 2007 and again 2013. That was one of my longest separations between trips. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A4: But It has been a year since my last visit to any Park #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A4) A little bit longer, its been nearly 27 years since I've been to some of the East Coast National Parks like @ShenandoahNPS & @GreatSmokyNPS as well as @CapitolReefNPS & @BryceCanyonNPS in Utah. What can I say, life happens. #ParkChat

A4. Went to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Yosemite, Bryce, and Zion in 1980. Returned in 2014, 2014, 1988, 2018, 2018, in that order. #ParkChat

A4 I visited @OlympicNP when I was 11 years old. It took me 31 years to get back. #parkchat

A4) I didn't know I would be required to do math during the chat tonight! 😉 ... I (think) nearly 15 years passed between my visits @AcadiaNPS. #parkchat https://t.co/TKg8s8Xgk0

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A4: I haven’t been to Bryce since 2002. Acadia since 2005. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A4 #parkchat A few years ago, I only marked off ONE new national park unit in an entire calendar year. We don't talk about that year.


A4 Wait, I lied. I went to @EvergladesNPS back in 2010 and just went again in 2019. That's the longest in between visits. oops. #ParkChat https://t.co/BMJJWcu4eH

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A4: There was at least a decade gap starting around 2000, due to being too busy with high school, college, and work. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A4 Being a relatively new (2016 1st visit) NP enthusiast I’m still focused on visiting new parks, but my guess is @GrandCanyonNPS or @BigBendNPS will be my first revisit #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash
@tthrash @Wild_Tribute A4: i had a gap year in 2016 (nps centennial year, i know 😭) between visits to yellowstone. aside from that, i've been every year since 2015.
#ParkChat

A4. I spent the summer of 1999 as an Interpretive Ranger Intern @FlorissantNPS - just booked the tickets to head back this summer for the 50th Anniversary festivities. It will be my first time back and I couldn’t be more excited! #ParkChat https://t.co/iChxgvCJVL
