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.

There's a new must-do hike in Yellowstone National Park, and it's easy enough for almost everyone. The Grand Prismatic Spring Overlook trail was added in 2018, and it was exactly what we were looking for. For years we've been frustrated with Grand Prismatic Spring because if you walk out there all…
Grand Canyon National Park is almost like two entirely different parks: The North Rim and the South Rim. The two rims cannot be easily visited in one trip except by driving four hours and a long way out of the way. When you see the canyon, you'll know why! This post…
