Greetings from Acadia National Park
Picking one park that has impacted my life that I want to protect feels like trying to decide which chocolate bar I want at the gas station. They’re all great. I want them all. I chose Acadia because as a kid my father dragged me around to hundreds of national…

Greetings from Crater Lake National Park
I visited Crater Lake for the first time on my honeymoon. Having traveled 2500 miles, I hoped the cost would be worth it. Nothing prepared me for its magnificence. The park was busy on that August day back in 2003. I didn't understand the hushed silence of the crowd standing…

Greetings from Lake Mead National Recreation Area
This is not just for lake mead but also red rock canyon and mount charleston. These are my places of serenity especially growing up fishing hiking and camping in all of them. Then I went to the marine corps in the 2000s and went to Iraq. When I came back…

Greetings from North Cascades National Park
Until I got into my early 20ms I didn’t realize how much national parks would mean to me. I’ve always loved nature and being surrounded by no city noises such as cars, drilling, honking, people talking and so much more makes going to the parks all worth it. You get…

My parents introduced me to travel at a young age. Finances didn’t always allow our family of six to fly or stay in hotels, but camping provided us access to affordable adventure. Twice we went on “Wild West” campaign trips where we would drive two days westward from Ohio and…

Greetings from Yosemite National Park
Where do I start? National Parks have been a part of my life since I was a small child. My parents took me on road trips after visiting local parks, to help me see our country and its amazing variety. We took our child on similar road trips to see…

Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park
I began working as a tour guide at National Parks on the west coast of the US in the summer of 2023. This photo is from one of the first times I had the privilege of joining my passengers on a helicopter ride (which could often be subject to cancellations…

Greetings from Olympic National Park
In 2018, my boyfriend and I converted a 1986 Chevy van into a camper and drove it from Pennsylvania across the country visiting about 20 National Parks! Our stop in Olympic NP was most memorable because it was where he proposed. His plan was to make it to our first…
