replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A8 This honestly is a tough one. The only thing I can think to say is that we should use our feet when possible and also use shuttles when possible. #ParkChat

A8 If you're in a really crowded park like @YosemiteNPS or @AcadiaNPS where there can be traffic jams, do the driving early and then take a hike later in the day, so you don't burn up gas just idling in traffic #parkchat

replying to @Stars252525 @Stars252525 I first learned about these guides at @VicksburgNPS, but none were available while I was there. I thought it was so cool! #ParkChat

replying to @RockyTopSkiBum @RockyTopSkiBum @justaddhiking @RoadTripsCoffee Pulling at the heart strings here. Love the Glacier’s “other side” of the Park @59NationalParks, make sure you go here on your return trip #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee @BlueRidgeNPS @NPSGWMP @TheNatchezTrace So weirdly there’s only 4 Parkways that count towards the 419, which is less than 6, and a lot less than the 18 total Parkways. Go figure. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee @NatlParkService A3: I've never been to Natchez Trace, but the Blue Ridge Parkway is amazingly beautiful and definitely my favorite. #ParkChat

replying to @Fiwaysandbyways @Fiwaysandbyways @DenaliNPS This sounds like a great idea, especially for pollution and traffic control. I wonder if this could work in more parks? #ParkChat

A8. Bring a water bottle and coffee tumbler and use and reuse. The little things add up! #ParkChat

@Stars252525 @RoadTripsCoffee Take the Red Bus tours in @GlacierNPS instead of driving yourself

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A8) I wish I had been more earth-friendly with how I supplied myself with water on long trips. I would buy bigger bottles, but that's still plastic waste. Next time I should figure out how to set up a container that I can draw from in my limited car space. #ParkChat

replying to @LitchfieldFund @LitchfieldFund @hksbks @DeathValleyNPS Okay so at least they're FAST like the Roadrunner. But really...it wasn't blue or six feet tall and didn't do that thing with its tongue! #ParkChat

Q9 Not everyone has the desire or ability to hike miles along trails to reach mountain summits and scenic overlooks. Which scenic drive in a #nationalpark offers great views with the best #accessibility? #ParkChat

replying to @RockyTopSkiBum @RockyTopSkiBum @Stars252525 @RoadTripsCoffee @GlacierNPS Good tip! Leave the driving to them and enjoy the trip (plus so, so much easier to snap pics!) #ParkChat

replying to @RockyTopSkiBum @RockyTopSkiBum @justaddhiking @RoadTripsCoffee I was told my best chances to see a moose in Glacier was over there. Never did. #parkchat.
Fiwaysandbyways
replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A8) Don't make the drive the main purpose. The drive should be the way to get to a trailhead to explore via walking. Also, use the park shuttles when available. #parkchat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A8) I'm eco-friendly while at home by not making unnecessary trips to just one place, I'll wait until I have multiple errands to make which equals my road trips. #ParkChat
