Female Ranger

In late January 2021, my college kid and I stopped at Zion before the college drop off to hike the Narrows. This was our first time in the park, it was chilly and the hike required dry suits. I remember asking the ranger how far down the trail to Wall Street and other notable formations and she gave the best advice: "Hike in until you have enjoyed yourself with enough energy left to enjoy the hike on the way out. This will be your halfway point and the sign to know when to turn around and start your return trip back. It's all beautiful, enjoy the journey".

Everyone

I have been trying to visit as many National Parks and Monuments as possible, and everywhere I go mainly up and down the west coast, From Cabrillo National Monument to Mt Rainier everyone has been helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and more...making every visit a great experience. Thank You All.

ALL RANGERS

As you can see in my email addy I was truly inspired by the beauty of the Maxe. We came across a couple of Ranges and they filled us in on protocals ot there. We followed them gladly. The week we spent there was like no other THANK YOU

Volunteer

Thank you to a volunteer at a trailhead at the Grand Canyon. She was greeting each hiker and politely checking to see if they had proper footwear, sufficient water for the very hot day and adequate skill level for the hike. I watched as a number of poorly prepared hikers came in flip flops, high heels (!!!) and carried no water. Her volunteer work saves many potential problems and injuries. Thank you National Park employees and volunteers.
