National Parks On The Edge
“Unless Congress can reach a budget agreement by March 1, the country’s national parks will be hit by a $110 million budget cut, resulting in shuttered campgrounds, shorter seasons, road closings and reduced emergency services, a parks advocacy group reports.” The New York Times
Well, I say screw ‘em. Donate to the National Parks here.
If you’ve never been to a National Park, I do recommend going. Life changer. Go West or North to really see the glory of what Wallace Stegner called, “the best idea we ever had.” There are 59 and most offer campgrounds, fishing, rafting, horse backing riding, stargazing and a slew of other wonderful things. The classics are great (Yosemite, Glacier, etc), but here are some of my and the Wilder team’s favorites:
Acadia, Maine
Zion, Utah
Badlands, South Dakota
Grand Teyton, Wyoming
Shenandoah, Virginia
Great Sand Dunes, Colorado
Death Valley, California / Nevada
Assateague Island, Maryland
Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee
