California

Our parents would take us to a different national park one week each year. They would also bundle us up to attend a ranger program at the campground amphitheater. The Rangers were always so knowledgeable and informative and we listened very attentively to every word. My wife and I tried to provide the same experiences for our children. I believe that was instrumental in one of our children becoming an amazing outdoorsman and another an environment scientist (ES). The ES just married a United States Forest Service employee last month.

Our visit to Yosemite Valley was great. It was clean, all employees were very helpful. It snowed during our stay, roads were kept clean and rangers were great and all helpful. Thank you to all for helping to make our stay beautiful and enjoyable.

A very special thanks to Park Rangers for guiding us through the fabulous park and volcanic / lava caves. We just had one day and your teams guidance helped us make the most of it. A surreal experience, truly made possible by your team. Thank you!!!

I love nature and I am thankful that there are national parks.

Thanks for making our family visit so memorable (even if it took 3 days to see the USS Arizona memorial).

Thanks to you all for what good you do!

I am married to a former National Park Ranger. I know how hard you work. In the years since then, I have never encountered a mean or boring National Park Ranger. You all do your work cheerfully and efficiently and for that I commend you!

I want to thank the medical team near Old Faithful who helped me after I accidentally got super glue in my eye, instead of my dry eye drops! (Both bottles were the same size and color, and due to age I don’t see well up close!) The nurse made me feel comfortable when she told me I wasn’t the first case of this she’d seen! After flushing the eye and examining it, I was given an antibiotic ointment, and the assurance that my eyesight would be fine and the glue would wear away within a few days. Though it was uncomfortable, I was able to enjoy our time in the park without further worry!

Thank you to all for your service.

Thank you for a memorable presentation on the geological forces involved and timeline of the formation of Bryce Canyon.
