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 are also specific posts about some of our favorite hikes in the national sites. This is to help you choose which trails are going to work for your family.

Bridal Veil Falls is a short hike in Yosemite National Park not to be confused with Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon. This hike is very short and leads to a towering waterfall. The water cascades off a massive granite wall to a height of 620 feet! Since the hike is…
Lower Yosemite Falls is the perfect hike for everybody. This hike is perfect for a stroller or wheelchair. It is short, flat, paved, and leads to an amazing waterfall just a quarter mile from shuttle stop # 6. The hike has several ways to approach the falls, all of which…
