We had the great fortune of visiting 4 of the 5 NP’s in Utah this summer ; didn’t have time to hit Capital Reef sadly. Our experience at all the parks was extraordinary! I can’t even describe the beauty and awe we saw and felt. A big THANK YOU to all employees and ambassadors for the care they gave us and especially for the care they take with our fabulous National Parks, the greatest gift our great country gives to humanity.

James Thanks so much for taking the time to talk to us about the repairs at the fort and the life of a park ranger assigned to the Dry Tortugas. We hope that Fort Jefferson gets more funding in the future to save a national treasure.
