The very best auto-touring routes are many of the Nation’s National Historic Trails managed by the National Park Service - which just celebrated their 50th Anniversary. #ParkChat @NTIRNPS @AnzaTrailNPS @LewisClarkTrail @npnht https://t.co/EGkiWlx48m

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A9: When I visit Olympic NP, I am going to drive Hurricane RidgeRd. I’ve heard the views are quite pleasing #ParkChat

A9) The views from the roads at @GlacierNPS are pretty stellar, and offer good #accessibility as there are many pull outs to enjoy the scenery. #ParkChat

replying to @hksbks @hksbks @RoadTripsCoffee Yeah, same. Also just got a reusable cooler that folds down small enough to fit in my duffle. Eager to start using it. Big enough to hold block ice, but I digress. #parkchat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee @DenaliNPS Good points! I was thinking about the concept at other parks while I was there. I wonder it has been considered. #parkchat

@RoadTripsCoffee A9) Gotta go with @GlacierNPS Going-to-the-Sun Road again. With limited time and a mutt to consider, I was still able to see spectacular views from my vehicle.

A9 The Grand Loop Rd @YellowstoneNPS hits all the highlights with minimal walking required #parkchat

A9. Yosemite’s Glacier Point, Bryce’s Amphitheater, Olympic’s Hurricane Ridge, Arcadia’s Cadillac Mountain. Joshua Tree’s Keys View. What else? #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A9) If that's the case then I'd recommend them to take Glacier Point Road in Yosemite National Park or one similar to it in another National Park. #ParkChat

Q10 Did you know you can drive 621 miles from Front Royal, VA to Townsend, TN without ever leaving a #nationalpark site? What are some other long, epic routes we can all enjoy through the national parks? #ParkChat #DYK

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee Gotta go with Trail Ridge Road at @RockyNPS Plenty of turnouts and places to take short hikes. The views are universally magnificent right along the road. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee @AcadiaNPS There are guided carriage tours, though the stable does say you can bring your own animal to "vacation with your horse." wonder what the entry fee for a horse would be. 🤔 #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee A4: I've had to stop for bears to cross the road at @GreatSmokyNPS a couple of times. Cade's Cove is a great place to see lots of wildlife! Also seen fair amount of elk in other areas of GSMNP and @RockyNPS. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee @ParksandPoints @AcadiaNPS There is at least one concessionaire in the Park that offers guided carriage tours. A way to enjoy the Park as the Rockefellers intended. #ParkChat

replying to @ParksandPoints @ParksandPoints Did you know Tesla electric cars can recharged while coasting? They have electromagnet generators built into the wheels so as long as you're not using power you can regenerate a little bit. #ParkChat

replying to @RoadTripsCoffee @RoadTripsCoffee Nice! Now to get us a Tesla...! #ParkChat
