Q3 According to the @NatlParkService out of the 6 parkways in the NPS the #NatchezTraceParkway is considered to be “one of the most scenic and beautifully designed parkways in America.” Do you agree? Or do you have another parkway you think fits that description? #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee Since I once argued that @YosemiteNPS was the most beautiful place in America I better go with that. The drive through the Valley is incomparable. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @hksbks Oh no no no. When I bought an inverter for the van the FIRST thing I checked in the specs was to make sure it could handle my Keurig cause I need my morning coffee. It's just safer for everyone else that way haha. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A2 I've loved driving in @GreatSmokyNPS & of course the @BlueRidgeNPS. I also loved the Generals Highway at @SequoiaKingsNPS & was glad they had so many turnouts and scenic overlooks. Incredible views! #ParkChat

@this_is_karley @RoadTripsCoffee @YellowstoneNPS But Glacier has the going to the sun road and I like it better

A2) The most scenic drive has to be Going-To-the-Sun Road at Glacier National Park. #ParkChat #GlacierNP

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A2) I can only speak for the ones I have been to. I think it would be some areas in and around @YosemiteNPS #parkchat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee @louisbink @GreatSmokyNPS Not surprising considering you don’t know how Ice works. #ParkChat #highheat

replying to @Parkasaur @Parkasaur @BlueRidgeNPS I'm gonna just agree with this. It's certainly my FAVORITE drive in the country. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee @Wild_Tribute Yosemite! I was doubtful (@brian_heyman made me wake up early for the drive and I am NOT a morning person) but that drive in - holy smokes. #ParkChat

replying to @ParksandPoints @ParksandPoints @hksbks @Wild_Tribute Or I could just do what I like? Because it's what I like? And because of freedom? 😜🤪😜 #ParkChat

replying to @this_is_karley @this_is_karley @RoadTripsCoffee @YellowstoneNPS A great choice. If Yellowstone were being established today, we would probably never build a Great Circle Road, but it is a national treasure all the same. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee @NatlParkService A3 It is beautiful, but I'm particularly fond of the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway. Tetons, after all. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @RoadTripsCoffee @YosemiteNPS Gorgeous photo! That drive coming up to Tunnel View really is breathtaking. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @YosemiteNPS Certainly not gonna argue. But I'm curious: I've seen this angle on this photo many times, where was it captured? #ParkChat

A3 Well, they did say "one of," so I'd have to agree; when you consider how godawfully dull some of the other highways in the Southeast are, it's quite an accomplishment #parkchat
Wild_Tribute
A3. Natchez Trace is truly beautiful and most certainly underscored, but Blue Ridge has to be the most popular, right? #ParkChat

replying to @NonProfitStef @NonProfitStef @GreatSmokyNPS @BlueRidgeNPS @SequoiaKingsNPS There are sections of the @BlueRidgeNPS where I really, really, really wish they had a turnout. I've parked at the next overlook and hiked back before. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee @NatlParkService A3) I have been on the Blue Ridge parkway and it was pretty awesome. #parkchat

replying to @hksbks @hksbks @RoadTripsCoffee @GlacierNPS Lots of folks here know that I’ve never taken the road. It was still closed when we went there. Reserving judgment with an open mind. #ParkChat

Q4 Have you ever encountered any #wildlife while driving through a #nationalpark? What are some tips for avoiding that fateful collision? Seeing the most wildlife? Capturing a great photo? #ParkChat

A3 I still think the @BlueRidgeNPS is the most scenic and beautifully designed parkway in the @NatlParkService. But what do I know? #ParkChat

replying to @Stars252525 @Stars252525 @RoadTripsCoffee @NatlParkService I’m agreeing with this answer. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee
@RoadTripsCoffee @NatlParkService A3: natchez trace is undeniably incredible! i'm sort of more partial to the blue ridge parkway, but only because i've experienced it on many amazing road trips, among others. there are really too many to name, though!

replying to @NonProfitStef @RoadTripsCoffee @GreatSmokyNPS @BlueRidgeNPS @SequoiaKingsNPS A2.2 I also had an eye-opening moment when I checked into a hotel outside of @GreatSmokyNPS once, in Andrews, NC, and had the clerk ask me first thing, "Have you ridden the Green Dragon?" That required some explaining! Those switchbacks are all crazy! #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash @RoadTripsCoffee If we’re going to include our friends up north, there’s actually Icefields Parkway and then all the others. Have to give to @ParksCanada. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @59NationalParks A1) Basically its getting out of the metropolitan area and back to nature is what draws me to a National Park road trip. #ParkChat
