replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks Uhm Gay? I've never known a woman with that name, and only ever known one guy with that first name. Am I missing something here? #ParkChat

replying to @louisbink @louisbink YES! I love vehicles that do that now! My biggest suggestion would be to turn your car engines off if you pull off the road at a scenic overlook, even if only for a few seconds. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A9: lake butte overlook in @YellowstoneNPS is amazing! you can see the whole lake, and you can even spot the tetons on a clear day.

Q11 #ParkChat Feeling lucky? Apply for the scenic drive lottery at @DenaliNPS this month for a chance to drive the entire 92 mile length of the Park road in September. Cars are normally limited to the 1st 15 miles.
What do you think are the risks and rewards of such a drive?

replying to @travel2findself @travel2findself @NatlParkService I spent a month road tripping the Natchez Trace last spring. It was indeed a very beautifully designed parkway, but I enjoy the scenic views of the Blue Ridge Parkway more. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A10) Yes, in fact I believe that you go through 3 National Park Service Areas, @ShenandoahNPS @BlueRidgeNPS & @GreatSmokyNPS. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee I just read that it’s 795th most common name for a female. As a male’s name, it doesn’t even make the list. #ParkChat

replying to @ParksandPoints @ParksandPoints @Parkasaur @BlueRidgeNPS HAHAHA! I drove one of those cars in the UK and surprisingly only drove it on the wrong side of the road once. Twice. Just three times. #ParkChat

replying to @ParksandPoints @ParksandPoints @RoadTripsCoffee I wonder what it would be to start in Grand Teton, do the JDR Parkway, and then circle around the Grand Loop? #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @DenaliNPS A11: Well being Griz bait when your car dies out in the middle of nowhere is a major risk. But the views, and wildlife shooting would be epic. I’ll stick to the bus when I go though #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A10) Once drove from Las Vagas through @DeathValleyNPS and then on to @YosemiteNPS. The went on the SF and visited Alcatraz at night. Pretty creepy when the fog rolled in. In and out of the parks but it was a cool road trip. #parkchat

Hey @RoadTripsCoffee, so sorry I missed your hosting on #ParkChat tonight! We are out picking up our new used 2014 Subaru Forester! We're looking forward to taking Subie 2.0 to the #nationalparks this summer with us.

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee Rocky Mtn National Park highway offers some drop-dead amazing views from your car. And jaw smacking amazing views if you can hike even a few hundred yards (CAUTION: You are at 10,000-11,400 ft). #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @DenaliNPS A11) The risk could be your vehicle's suspension & other drivers not watching the road while the reward is spending more time at locations that you're not normally allowed by taking the bus ride. #ParkChat

A11 But the shuttle buses would still be running, right? If I were the only vehicle on the road, that would be a sweetly surreal experience #parkchat
