We know there is a lot going on for our Parks people right now, so we want to encourage anyone who needs to vent, reflect, or send + vibes to others to please use this hashtag. 1/2

A3: I'll say solitude. I specifically sought out one of the quietest places on earth, deep in the Hoh Rainforest of Olympic NP. #ParkChat

A10 Carlsbad Caverns for me, too. I went there once as a child, then again with my kids, then again to do research while in college. My park history is intertwined with CCNP. #ParkChat

A10) Kentucky's Red River Gorge National Geological Area in the Daniel Boone NF hooked me as a kid. Though I don't live close anymore, it still holds up as a classic Appalachian outdoor paradise (and fwiw I didn't take this picture, but it's too good not to share) #parkchat

Colorado National Monument was another big one for me growing up. And I still remember the moment I first learned “don’t bust the crust!" Does anyone know what that refers to here in Canyon Country? 🤪 #ParkChat

Q11: The best part of loving parks is always having another place to look forward to, whether it’s a bucket-list destination or a quiet, nearby favorite you haven’t visited in a while.
What’s one park or landscape you really want to experience in the next year and what draws you to it? #ParkChat

A9 #ParkChat I'm always looking at the little things, but something that is small and I wouldn't have seen otherwise had to be a moth program that was part of my #STEAMinthePark trip to New River Gorge in 2023. I never realized the immense diversity of moths. The first three are from New River.

Q9: Some of the most unforgettable parts of a park visit aren’t the big landmarks at all — sometimes it’s a patch of wildflowers, the smell after it rains, or a glimpse of ancient petroglyphs tucked into a canyon wall.
What’s a tiny detail from a park visit that has stayed with you? #ParkChat

Q8: Whether it’s delicate desert soils, crashing shores, ancient forests, or wide-open rangelands — big landscapes often depend on tiny, fragile systems to stay healthy.
If you could protect ONE thing about wide open places for future generations, what’s the top priority for you? #ParkChat

A7 #ParkChat I picture a place that requires effort to get to, that doesn't necessarily have cell service. Off the beaten path, by a mile.

Q7: Remote places mean different things to different people — canyon backroads, high mountain basins, desert mesas, quiet coves, long trails, or even a single peaceful overlook.

Q5: Parks often shift our sense of scale — whether you’re staring down into a canyon, standing beneath giant trees, or watching cliffs fade into fog.
Have you ever had a moment on public lands where you suddenly felt very small (in a good way)? What caused that? #ParkChat

A4. We tend to hike near rivers or creeks or along lake shores, the sound of water moving usually means we are on a trail somewhere. #ParkChat

Q3: People often picture solitude as standing alone under a giant arch, but solitude can look different everywhere — from quiet beaches to misty forests to early-morning trailheads.
When you’re outdoors, do you seek quiet, or do you like hearing people around? #ParkChat
