Thank you for your hard work and helpfulness to people who may be a little lost. The parks are a great source of peace for people whose lives may be troubled.

Thank you so much for helping me get information about obtaining a backcountry permit and information about the area where I ended up going, Granite Lake basin. It was a really incredible place and well worth the 4000 + ft vertical gain to reach it. I also appreciate your tracking of fire information when I stopped back in at the Visitor Center after my backpack trip and told you about the fresh new smoke plume visible from Panorama Point along Park Ridge.

Your patients with park attendees is admirable, as you share the story for independence of the United States. The knowledge from your park service will overwhelmingly last you through your long and deserved retirement, when it happens......

Thank all of you for your hard work and dedication. Without you guys there would be no open spaces. Hopefully the next 4 years will be ok.

Thank you all for what you do everyday to preserve our National Parks! Your dedication, passion, and diligence is amazing, and I am so grateful to you. I'm also a little jealous, what an amazing office you have!! Keep fighting, we're behind you!!

Hats off to all of the awesome rangers & employees that workin in our parks!!

As a 10 yo, in 1965, my family moved from MA to WA, taking 6 weeks to do so. Dad made plans to visit as many National Parks as we could. Grand Teton is where the Ranger told us the history of the park & about the geology. Somewhere I have a small rock from the park. I remember my wonder upon wakening, opening the trailer door & looking up & up to the top of giant rock peaks. I gasped at the beauty. That picture is firmly in my memory. Thanks to my Dad who helped us all feel the wonder & glory of our parks. Thank you all!

I don't have a particular ranger or National Park to commend. This is to thank ALL the rangers for their fine work in each park. We are National Park Foundation members and are grateful for their intentions and efforts to preserve, expand and conserve the Parks. Christi and Gilbert Smith

Thank you so much for helping me navigate the best way to take an easy walk with my newborn daughter at the rim of Bryce Canyon. It was super helpful to understand where we could park and maximize our time together. I can't wait to bring her back when she is older and cover more ground!

Thank you for all you do to keep our National Park a place of solace. It is really difficult to deal with soooo many personalities on a given day, especially when summer season is in full swing. Your patience and compassion sets all of you apart from smaller park attendants.
