replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6 #parkchat My first couple visits to Rainier were like that. I want to go back to Mt St Helens. It was mostly foggy all day until just before sunset. It was such a tease!

A6. Three for me, with plenty of others I feel I barely scraped the surface despite hiking for miles or visiting for hours. Weather conditions (heat and storms) and a foot injury impacted my visits to some as well. #parkchat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6: the first time that I went to Death Valley NP, the (unofficial) thermometer outside the visitor center 'only' read 113F, so I had to go back to see it hit 120F #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6. We’ve been very fortunate, but we don’t let rain stop us. If we drive that far we’re still going to see it all including hikes #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6 Our last trip to the Tetons was like that. Heavy snow. I've said it before. I pack like a Texan and don't have the right clothes. Hubs has given me the rule of "at least one warm outfit" for future trips. #ParkChat

A6. Definitely feel a bit guilty about Biscayne NP. Need to get in/on the water next time. #ParkChat

WildWithinHer

A6. Rain and snow don't stop us. I might have whined a bit about climbing Great Sand Dunes in the snow, but I did it and enjoyed it. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6: I was eager to re visit Rocky Mountain NP because of Altitude sickness forcing me to slow down my first visit #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6: ugh. Glacier. We had a couple of good days, but the rain, thunder, snow, & mama grizzlies w/ cubs made it impossible for some of the things we wanted to do. I will be back! #parkchat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6 I visited @CVNPNPS too early in the spring a few years ago. Much too rainy and not a lot in bloom. Would like to see that park again in late spring/early summer or fall! #ParkChat

#parkchat A6) Bryce Canyon! I only got to spend a couple hours, and got driven out by snow. Next time!

A6 @AcadiaNPS b/c the crowds were insufferable last time - & I'm usually pretty chill about crowds in NPs #parkchat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6) #Parkchat There's never enough time! lol The seasons havn't ever truly effected me except maybe the heat when driving through @ArchesNPS and so I toured in the vehicle but we stayed in these canvas tents that were amazing !!!

A6 Only one site do I feel we didn’t give it out best. @CapeLookoutNPS. We have to go back. but that’s ok. we had just started and we some how missed Fort Raleigh, so have to go back. #parkchat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6: We got caught in an unanticipated thunderstorm while backpacking in @SaguaroNPS last week, so that's high on my list for a return visit. #ParkChat

A6) I try to "do something" in each unit, but sometimes it's hard at places like @tulelakenps where the park isn't "built out" yet (aka, everything is fenced and you cannot enter). Also, on Hubs' first @YellowstoneNPS visit it was storming so bad we had to leave. #parkchat https://t.co/05JGgPpEKg

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6: One of my greatest regrets was leaving @CapitolReefNPS early. I was just passing through from Moab to Mesquite in 1 day. I thought I'd have time for some hikes, but a storm blew in and ruined that plan. It's so remote, and I'll never know if I'll see it again. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6: I rarely find my way into the visitor center unless I am looking for a warm bathroom on the way in or out #parkchat I usually have a specific destination in mind and if I accomplish my goal my conscience is clear.

Fiwaysandbyways

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6) So far time has always been the challenge. I have not been to a park yet that I did not want to return to later. Even Isle Royale that I mentioned earlier. It was a complete trip but still want to go back. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6) I don't know if there's going to be a next time, that's why I try to make the best of the situation like when I went to Mt Fuji. I may have not seen the mountain but at least I saw the Fall Colors. #ParkChat

A6 It seems like every park I visit, the time is too short. I always want to see and do so much more! Enjoyed hiking many trails in @Shenandoah last week, but left with many more still to do. #parkchat

naturetechfam

replying to @tthrash @tthrash #parkchat A6 oh so many. @GuadalupeMtnsNP @petrifiedforestnps @CavernsNPS and @TRooseveltNPS were all too short or bad weather to explore. We know we will return to those! 😁

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6 had a day to spend @ZionNPS and it rained heavily so def need a revisit. also remind me to tell y’all the story of a trip to @BigBendNPS that was shortened bc of our rental car’s past and an issue at the border patrol station...😳😱 #ParkChat

rscottjones

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6 #parkchat My visits to Carter G Woodson, Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers, and Mary McLeod Bethune Council House all sucked because most of the grounds were closed for renovation. Luckily, I have plans to revisit Woodson & McLeod this weekend, plus Charles Young next month.

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6: i'm ready to get back to @RockyNPS! i feel as though i didn't even scratch the surface when my dad and i only had a three hours for our visit. one hike was such a tease, but at least i got my picture at the sign.

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A6: we barely got to see Grand Tetons when we were there due to time and weather. Biscayne due to shutdown, limited boat tour availability and young kids. Will go back. #ParkChat
