This episode celebrates some of the (many) things we love about our National Parks. Writer and filmmaker Dayton Duncan (The National Parks: America's Best Idea) details some of the history behind the National Parks, and his most memorable filming experiences; Sarana Riggs, member of the Navajo Nation, speaks on the Indigenous roots of Grand Canyon National Park and the ongoing work Grand Canyon Trust does to preserve this legacy; Lauren Gay, aka Outdoorsy Diva, shares some of her favorite National Park experiences and some helpful tips for novices; Matt and Brad from Hello Ranger talk about the bats at Carlsbad, the best National Parks to bring your dog, and much more. Oh, and here's a link to Thrillist Caravan (the trip we mention at the end of the show!)
