replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @ArchesNPS The one at @ArchesNPS has to be the most well known. Where are the others? This is the kind of arcane trivia that fascinates me. #ParkChat #findYourPark #NationalPark #Arches

replying to @ThatOutdoorGuy @ThatOutdoorGuy Only to be exceeded by grandfatherhood! All the joy, not so much of the responsibility! #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @Shawninthewild A7. There are several that interest me, but I'll choose the zone where water meets land. Wetlands, lake shores, ocean shores. Constantly changing, so much diversity. #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A10 #parkchat So Many Times. I think the most memorable were all the sketchy and slippery log “bridges” on the Olympic Coast. Had to balance my way across those with a big heavy pack (before UL was invented 😅)

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A10 I tend to avoid places where I need to do that. #ParkChat 🐔

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @ArchesNPS A9) Like others who have children to keep them balanced I've got Shemp. He'll give me an ear full if I'm away from home for too long while the things that need to be done around the house is another thing that keeps me in check. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A10. Hiking the fins in @ArchesNPS on the Devil's Garden trail certainly feels like a balancing act! #ParkChat

Sorry, #parkchat. I gotta duck out a few minutes early. Thank you so much @Shawninthewild @Wild_Tribute & @59NationalParks for a great topic. Now I gotta go get some balance tomorrow here.

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A10 Spring trails here are notoriously wet. Lots of root balancing and rock hopping. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A10 #ParkChat before the North Rim opened, North Kaibab had some rock fall through the trail in a few sketchy drop-off areas. I put my poles in one hand, navigated along the rock piles and balanced myself with the other. It was a weird half-standing 3-limbed crawl strategy lol

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A10 I guess trying to take a picture for a couple while snowshoeing. Took their shiny iPhone, then tried to step backward. The look on their faces as I was trying not to fall, then trying to keep their phone from dropping. 🤣 #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute a10 The rungs on the Precipice trail @AcadiaNPS required some dexterity for sure. #ParkChat

A10. To get to the true summit of Tolmie Peak in @MountRainierNPS, you have to cross a short but steep ridge. I still remember thinking, don't look at the view, wait until you're across. Worth it. #ParkChat
kristarsha
replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A8 combining friend time & family time with outdoor time when we can. Whenever family or friends visit we take them hiking or to do something outdoors when possible. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A10 - too many times in my past (younger) years I've done some dumb things and scaled a few things. Balancing for life has happened before #Parkchat

Q11 – The question of the hour, what snack(s) make your adventures even more amazing. We’re talking the ultimate level up snacks. #ParkChat

A10: Yeah being just 2 feet from a mile long express lane to the Colorado Riverat Grand Canyon certainly caused me to asses my balance. #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild We try to go on adventures big and small on school breaks and weekends. #ParkChat

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A8 I switched jobs so that I am travelling less and working from home. I am also trasitioning into a tourism promotion job so adventures are part of my job description. Change my life for the next 25 years. #parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute The Potomac Heritage NST was flooded by the river when I did it with a friend a few months ago. We had to scramble along the cliffs and vines above it. Could see the blazed rocks poking out of the river below. #ParkChat

replying to @ThatOutdoorGuy @ThatOutdoorGuy You've got a couple of great kids, I certainly hope the Lord blesses you with that joy, as well! It truly is one of his greatest gifts! #ParkChat

Done boarding, and wheels up soon, so it’s time to sign off #parkchat. Looking forward to revisiting 11 national park units, plus one new (to me) unit, plus three authorized-but-not-yet-designated units, plus a bunch of other #questing stuff this week! Should be fun

replying to @Shawninthewild @Shawninthewild A11 Standard but boring answer. Nuts, string cheese, cliff bars, granola bars. #ParkChat
