Q3. From government shutdowns to fires to persistent rain or snow, have you had park travel impacted in the last year? Do you have plans to go back? #parkchat

replying to @evanturkart @evanturkart That's how I was with Hubs, I keep taking him back to my favorite places, but try to throw in one new thing (hike, area, experience, etc.) for me. #parkchat

A2 When I return to a favorite #nationalpark my goal is always to do something new because there is always so much more to see and do in our park system.
But I'll return to a favorite overlook for sunset. #ParkChat

This is so true! Seasons change the landscapes and time and experience changes us. We aren't the same people when we visit again and the parks aren't either. #ParkChat https://t.co/xWUB73wv9V

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A2. I like to combine favorite haunts with new experiences. If someone who has never seen the area before is traveling with me, it's even better. I can experience the newness again through his or her eyes. #parkchat

A3 We cancelled an entire trip to West Texas and New Mexico. All of the sites we wanted to see were closed. So, next winter! #parkchat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A3) I have to say that I have not had plans or a trip badly impacted. Sure, the occasional bad weather for a day or two but nothing to ruin the trip. Lucky I guess! #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A3. Been very fortunate to never have that issue but I can imagine I would plan to revisit if it did, sometimes people don't get another opportunity though. #Parkchat

A2 #parkchat I revisit the areas that I can photograph better now with better equipment and skills. Last year, revisiting Steamboat Glacier rewarded me with the longest eruption of the year!

A3 I couldn't get to Harry Truman NHS during the Holiday season b/c of the gov't shutdown. It seems the buck doesn't stop here anymore #parkchat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A3 Well, because of huge and sad vet bills last year, we had to cancel our fall trip to Big Bend. Trying again this fall. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A2 #parkchat This probably depends on where. For instance, I keep going back to some parks in order to show others, in which case I keep visiting the same (awesome) things again and again. If I'm alone, I tend to explore new things and return to a few old favorites.

replying to @RCGibby73 @RCGibby73 @tthrash @RockyNPS In our larger wilderness parks I feel like you could live a whole lifetime and never fully take it all in. True for parks and other places like the @ShastaTrinityNF. #ParkChat

A3. All we know is that our fingers are crossed over and over we have no wildfire issues doing the JMT in September. Otherwise, snow forced us to abort our first Half Dome attempt in 2011. Difficult lesson to first learn...plans are made to be changed. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A3 #parkchat I had to skip a small section of the PCT in Washington due to a wildfire. I know of lots of people who were really disappointed by all the smoke

replying to @tthrash @tthrash A3. A planned trip last year to @ShenandoahNPS was halted by snow. We visited @NationalMallNPS instead on that trip and visited Shenandoah later in the year #parkchat

#parkchat A3) I started research trips for my National Park Book (shameless plug) last year during the *first* government shutdown last January, and visited Big Bend during the shutdown. Honestly I lucked out, made it more peaceful with fewer people!

replying to @tthrash @tthrash @InnerCompass @ParksCanada @WildWithinHer I have it a lot easier. Only 31 visitable Arizona State Parks, currently. #parkchat
