We are the biggest fans of the National Parks. We try to visit as many as we can whenever we travel anywhere. There are so many cool things to see inside these parks. So many beautiful places and so much to learn!
Our boys have over 100 different junior ranger badges from National Parks, and other National Sites throughout Utah and the United States.

When we went to Olympic National Park, one of our priorities was to find some good tide pools. We love the ocean, and our boys were excited to try and find a different kind of wildlife. So, we checked the tide chart and got up early to check out Beach 4…
Hole in the Wall is a narrow arch that can be accessed at low tide at Rialto Beach in Olympic National Park. The trip to Hole in the Wall requires a hike of about 3.3 miles roundtrip, but it seems farther because of the soft sand on the beach. Parking at…
