replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService #parkchat A2 both size and visitation can make a prank "little" but they have been some of our favorite stops! @ScottsBluffNPS for example. We like the fact that you get more personal time and attention from the Rangers! 😁

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService #parkchat A3 how about another favorite @AgateFossilBeds? Big on how long of a story their fossils cover over history! Or any of the Fossil parks, really, have big stories!

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService A2) I like "Lesser Known" meaning that it might be small in size, have few visitors or both but it doesn't mean that they're less important. I've been volunteering at @JohnMuirNPS for nearly 25 years, it falls into that category but was key in the creation of the NPS. #ParkChat

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService #parkchat A4 Pipestone Nat'l Monument has a much bigger museum than we expected and it was a wonderful place to stop between WI and SD! Plus some nice, kid-friendly trails, too!

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService A4).Pipestone National Monument in Minnesota is one such park, they have trails, exhibits and demonstrations of how the stone was crafted & used. #ParkChat
