Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Grand Teton Natl Park:  Most breathtaking view, from just about anywhere in the Park.  
Katmai Natl Park & Preserve:  Most breathtaking experience, needing to step off the hiking trail so the Brown bear mama and 3 cubs can walk past you within 25 yards.


The most breathtaking view for me was in Denali National Park. We went on a tour of the glaciers and mountains in a small plane and landed on Ruth Glacier right below Mt. Denali. The view of the Ruth Glacier amphitheater was one of THE most beautiful things I have ever seen! It's huge, and almost undescribable because you just have to witness it in person!


The summer wildflower display at Mt. Rainier NP is unbelievablly beautiful!Z5


Flying over Denali on a sunlit day and landing on Ruth Glacier just below the peak.


Katmai NP watching the Grizzlies at Brooks Falls.


The view from the Keyhole on the way to Longs Peak.


Coming into the Jackson Hole Valley from Rt.26 near Moran. The panoramic view of the Tetons is jaw-dropping!
