replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A6: @PetrifiedNPS gets the nod for me of the limited Parks I have driven through. Just a great ride through the Painted Desert, down to wonderful ancient formations. #ParkChat

A4: Don’t leave the car when you see potentially dangerous animals. Drive slow or stop, but never leave the car. Seen a family, 3 kids out the car when a black bear mommy & cubs crossed a road. they got close for pictures,how the hell can you do that? #ParkChat @RoadTripsCoffee

replying to @hksbks @hksbks @DeathValleyNPS I once saw a roadrunner at a zoo. I was supremely disappointed. Looney Tunes ruins me for life! #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A6 Well, my first thought is Little Bighorn Battlefield. You can buy guides to help you on your drive, plus the waysides are excellent. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A6) A little different answer but I thought the green bus tour in @DenaliNPS was pretty good. I like that they limit the car traffic in the park. Seems better for the wildlife. #parkchat

A6. So it might not be an auto tour but the drive to @GreatBasinNPS from Delta, UT on the loneliest road in America is one of a kind that can be linked with the Pony Express Auto Tour #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee @hksbks @DeathValleyNPS We were hiking on the Rio Grande years ago and the roadrunners kept darting in and out of the bush in front of us as we hiked along! #parkchat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A6: i'm extremely partial to the drive tours in battlefield parks, like @VicksburgNPS or @LittleBigNPS. so much history, it feels like you're driving back in time.

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A6) Might be a bit controversial, but we think @AcadiaNPS has the best "auto touring" via the carriage roads. Not really always by car, but designed and created to be an experience where you move through the park without walking. #ParkChat @AcadiaNPS

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A7 Routes through mountains usually. Routes along the coast, though, have never disappointed. Neither have drives through prairies, come to think of it. #parkchat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A4 #ParkChat drivers at GC stop in middle of road to take pics of elk; holds up traffic or forces others to swerve. My tip is I promise youll see a TON of elk, all day, everywhere. No need to stop dangerously, find a real parking space & youll see 50 of em while walking wherever

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur @BlueRidgeNPS @NPSGWMP @TheNatchezTrace Yeah but the NPS has 419 sites that fall into about 16 or so categories. "Parkway" is just one of those categories. And I think what they count as a "parkway" is independently managed. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A6) The route through Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monuments is quite nice as is the park road in @PetrifiedNPS. Each drive takes you from one world to another. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A7) Even though I'm water crazy, I have to go with the big mountains and rock formations and such, because we don't have those things in much of the Midwest. #ParkChat
