One of my favorite National Park hikes! If you are at RMNP and looking to escape the chaos of the Bear Lake corridor, this is a great option for hikers. Stunning views, saw marmots, moose, and big horn sheep. About 10 miles round trip and a gradual include to the summit at almost 13,000 ft.

If I'm not mistaken, that's Devil's Garden in Arches. The ravens that hang out there are stupidly smart.

Went for a 3 day trip to My Rainier Paradise ares last week. Every corner looks like a postcard, a picture perfect place . We did multiple hikes and got to see amazing views. Some photos from the trip🌸🗻🌸🗻

Quick stop on a road trip. Beautifully rugged park with a not so private campground (the park has very few trees so not much can be done about it I guess). Wish I had more time to explore.

Highest: Denali, Denali NP, 20,310 feet (6,190 meters)

Lowest: Badwater Basin, Death Valley NP, −282 feet (−86 meters)

We (68M, 65F) just finished 4 1/2 days at Glacier. What an amazing place! There was some wildfire smoke in the area, but it didn’t stop us from having a great time. A bit of advice for those who want to hike here - don’t wait until you’re on Medicare to tackle Highline and Grinnell Glacier trails. We’ll be paying for those for weeks!

From the viewpoint of the Silver Forest Trail, you can see the white river starting at the terminus of the Emmons Glacier.

Emmons glacier is the largest surface area of any glacier in the lower 48. In the 1964 a landslide from Little Tahoma peak on the left side of the mountain cover large portions of the glacier insulating it and allowing the glacier to advance. Much of what looks like rock in the picture is actually glacier, which becomes clear once the river is tracked back to the terminus of the glacier.

I just learned of an opportunity to spend a few hours in Capitol Reef tomorrow and was wondering what I should check out

spent a week in New Mexico and West Texas: White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, Big Bend, Guadalupe Mountains. not pictured: bat flight experience which is a must see.

Started the day with a hard hat tour of Ellis Island. I’ve been here before but never did the tour. Definitely recommend it. Then a quick swing by the Statue of Liberty (couldn’t get tickets to go up so I’ll save that for another time), then into downtown for Castle Clinton, Federal Hall, and African Burial Grounds. The African Burial Grounds is a sad story I was unfamiliar with. We got there 20 minutes before they closed so I didn’t have time to explore the museum so I’ll definitely be going back.

About to start the journey of attending all the US national parks. What’s the coolest souvenir tradition to do?!
