Little NPS Sites

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService A2. I assume physical size, usually. That's where my brain goes. Little places can be big on scenery/history/facts/culture/etc. #ParkChat

A2 Sometimes it's the bighorn that makes it little #ParkChat

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService A2: I typically think of number of visitors rather than physical size of park. #ParkChat

A2. Great Q. Size certainly factors in but most importantly, how “well known” the park is to the general public #ParkChat

replying to @HomesteadNM @HomesteadNM @NatlParkService A2 I think of actual size, as well as size in comparison to its surroundings. A lot of the @nps_nyharbor park sites, like @TRBirthplaceNPS, fit the "little" category when you take into account the busyness surrounding them. But good things come in little packages. #parkchat

A2: A “little” @NatlParkService site typically indicates physical size to me. They often don’t lack in excitement, though. Some of our favorite sites are small ones! #ParkChat

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 A2 I think about the size. Being from New York, some local NPS sites are a small home or church. A site which I can feel I fully cover in a couple of hours as small--but still worth seeing/preserving. #parkchat

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 A2 #parkchat I like to think of #Anacapaisland and #satabarbaraisland as little parks at @CHISNPS
