Q5 – You’ve been to this spot a million times and you still return again and again, what keeps it new for you and is that why you keep returning? #Parkchat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A5 #parkchat The experience is always different! Maybe the weather or light has changed, or it’s a different season. The familiarity also keeps me going back.

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A5: If I've been there often, then it is almost like an old friend that I'm catching up with. How could that not be fun?!? #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A5 It's more the familiarity. Like going to visit an old friend. I have trails I'll do several times a year, tho usually in different seasons. #ParkChat

A5. Love. We keep going back because we love some aspect of the spot. Its mystery, its grandeur, its stillness, its connection with our Creator.

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A5: Because something is alway different. The wildlife, the weather, the foliage etc. And each time I leave feeling refreshed and ready for “real life” again #ParkChat

A5. Returning a place over and over gives me a sense of ownership. I know the curves in the trail, where that giant tree is, and the big rock to stop for a snack. And I love that every time it will be different. #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild #parkchat A5 a couple million acres of wilderness and hundreds of unpredictable wild animals does it for us @YellowstoneNPS.

A5: reliving a perfect moment or view is what makes memories worth making! #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A5: I often love to discover new places, however, if the scenery and atmosphere is just right it'll keep me coming back for more. It'll never get old. #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A5) The details. I think dog owners especially know how repetitive outdoor strolls can be, but if you observe closely there's always some change in the trees, birds, etc. Nature's subtle shifts. #ParkChat

A5 Heading tomorrow to bicycle Going-to-the-Sun Road. Do it every spring multiple times. Never gets old. Always looking for the return of harlequins, further up snow plowing, and waterfall ice melting to flow. #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A5) I haven't a clue, perhaps I have the same thing that John Muir had which kept him returning to Yosemite National Park. #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A5. It's a visit to a familiar, far-away friend. With each visit to the trails I notice what's changed, what hasn't. In a way, they become mine. Sometimes I've led friends or guided groups to these familiar places to share with them what I've enjoyed. #parkchat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A5: I routinely do the same hike in the summer: Flattop is a great hike and conveniently close to my summer home. Additionally, it’s always challenging.#ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A5: @ShenandoahNPS. We’ve been there many times and have never done a repeat hike. But we always love spending time at Big Meadows Lodge great room. It feels like home. We’ve also seen a black bear on every visit! Rock Creek Park and National Mall feel like home too! #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A5 We have a favorite trail at our nearest state park and it’s always different...sometimes the creeks/falls are dry, sometimes they’re raging...sometimes I see a dung beetle 🐜 💩 sometimes I don’t 🤣#ParkChat
