Dear Traveler,

I am so excited to discuss this topic. I love our National Parks. I’m not even a “huge nature guy”, but I just love these parks! They are absolutely beautiful and I love exploring them. The park rangers are a team really dedicated to the preservation of these national treasures. And let's not forget about the quarter of a million volunteers who do a lot to help protect our parks.

​As we make our way through COVID-19 pandemic, you may be needing a little time away but wish to travel within the United States for now. I have a solution. Our National Parks. The National Park Service manages 420 park sites in the US and 63 of those sites are designated “National Parks”.  Spend the night and camp out under the stars or or spend the week at a luxurious and/or rustic hotel! Just do it, you'll love it. ​

Sincerely, 
​Erik
