+ Let's explore some National Parks. I'm posting this as I watch Epidode 4 of Ken Burns' inspirational and informative film: THE NATIONAL PARKS: AMERICA'S BEST IDEA. Let's begin at parks I've been fortunate enough to visit here in the USA and in Canada.

  • SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK (Virginia)
    I camped here on a trip with my parents and sisters in 1960.
  • ACADIA NATIONAL PARK (Maine)
    Mary & I camped here on 2 occasions in the early 70s and then once with our children in 1991.
  • FUNDY NATIONAL PARK (New Brunswick, Canada)
    On our way to Nova Scotia in 1972, we camped here and learned about the highest tides in the world.
  • CAPE BRETON HIGHLANDS NATIONAL PARK (Nova Scotia, Canada)
    We reached our goal. It's a scenic gem on the Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia.
  • YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK (California)
    We spent a couple of nights in a cabin in the incredible valley in 1976. Sharon was 22 months old.
  • YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (Mostly in Wyoming)
    We camped in this amazing park in a 1981 trip which also brought us to ...
  • GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK (Wyoming)
    So close to Yellowstone and so different.
  • ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK (Colorado)
    This is a mountain paradise which was the climax of our 1981 trip.
  • GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK (Arizona) We bought a minivan in 1988 and headed West. No photo does justice to The Grand Canyon. Wow!
  • ZION NATIONAL PARK (Utah)
    After seeing the Grand Canyon, we went up to this beautiful park.
