I have loved visiting national parks since my parents took my sister and I to places like the Grand Canyon and Carlsbad Caverns while on family vacations when we were kids. With 62 parks available across the country, there are always new adventures waiting to be had, and you don’t even have to travel outside our nation’s borders to enjoy them.

Over the years, I have lived on both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the US, as well as in numerous states somewhere in the middle. And when I wasn’t exploring the communities I lived in, I could typically be found traveling, learning about other parts of this gorgeous country, marveling at its beauty, and absorbing its history and culture.
