Thank you for making a difference in our parks, keeping these national treasures in great condition, and sharing your knowledge and expertise for all to experience!

I just want all of you wonderful National Parks people to know how much my family and I appreciate you and the help and service and education you've provided for us as we visited our wonderful parks. From Isle Royale in Lake Superior to Glacier to Yellowstone to Denali and to so many others, you have without exception gone beyond the call of duty to enrich our experiences and keep us safe when it would have been so much less trouble to feed us to the bears. Thank you!

Many thanks to all the knowledgeable and friendly Park Rangers who have made our visits to 14 (so far) of our amazing parks and several National Historic Sites so much better by offering their expert advice!

Not sure if this allowed since I'm very partial to this young man, he's my son. I love the way he embraces the park he is at, whether it be Ranger Talks or recommending a hiking trail. He gets out there and lives it so he can talk about it. I visit him at every park he works at, I've seen first- hand his interactions with visitors & his peers. I know I'm partial, but you have a good guy here.

My husband and I have visited many of the parks and we've loved them all and really appreciate all that you do to make them extra special. Many thanks for your hard work. You make a difference and the parks are a big success because of you. Keep up the great work.

Jesse did an excellent job orienting 6 of us to the site. Some of the people came later, but that was no problem, they were included and Jesse backed up a bit but not too much. Jesse was VERY thorough and we were all outraged at how our country treated the Cheyenne and Arapaho there and that Chivington actually is remembered by being having his name on the closest town. We were told why that was too.

Thanks to the national park volunteer rangers, too. We had an exceptional experience hiking and viewing the petroglyphs in Horseshoe Canyon, made even better by a volunteer ranger named Daniel. His knowledge of the area and of the petroglyphs was informative and insightful. We learned much more about the history of the canyon than we would have without him there. His volunteer work is even more appreciated given the difficulty of getting to the canyon. It's a long drive over rough terrain. But he eagerly makes the drive when called upon. We park visitors are grateful!

Thank you all ambassadors for all that you do!

Several years ago, our family went to Mammoth Cave National Park and stayed at the hotel. We so enjoyed the bat presentation in the evening. Thanks to all of the employees and volunteers that made this trip so special!

Thanks you Davyd, for your contributions in researching noise and light pollution in Alaska's National Parks. I truly appreciate that you are working to preserve my pristine natural experience in Alaska!
