*or right fork, a little closer from town.

If you are still in the area, any chance of making it up to Left Fork Trailhead north of the town of Virgin? Really nice stream if you can hike down in. #parkchat

Sorry I missed your chat last night - great topic & questions! #parkchat

Stop Selloff Steve

A12.1: Former Rep. Steve Pearce (R-NM) is in the confirmation process for head of the Bureau of Land Management. There, he'll oversee 245M acres of public lands and push to private them (sell them). Check out the VetVoice Foundation 's website and take swift action: SellOffSteve.org #ParkChat

Absolutely! I revisited Chaco Canyon 40 yrs after my first visit. The park looked the same. The ranger talk was different, correcting what I'd learned there the first time. All the pot shards we'd seen everywhere were gone "they'd walked away in people's pockets" #parkchat

A6 Everyone who appreciates parks & the outdoors even remotely needs to go home & vote for a government that supports the protection of our public lands for future generations. #parkchat

! 💯 #parkchat

A4 Technology limited to moving people through the busy parts of busy parks is needed, along with technology that helps rangers do their jobs. Instead of technology used for education there needs to be lots of well paid rangers taking visitors on nature walks. #parkchat

A3 Our govt trying to censor & rewrite history is a scary proposition. Parks should be allowed to continue presenting their history, warts & all and should continue to educate about the natural world each park encompasses esp as it's climate habitat change. #parkchat

Trump nominates hospitality executive to lead National Park Service Scott Socha, whose company sued to claim trademark rights to Yosemite name, criticized by conservation groups

A2 💯! Along with management that understands what National Parks are & supports their complex mission of public use, information & preservation for future generations. #parkchat

Mount Rainier not implementing timed entry reservations this year For the last two summers, Mount Rainier has used the pilot timed entry program to cut down on crowds during peak season.

A1 (sorry I missed last night) I struggle w needing to make plans so early but it beats not getting a spot. Entrance rangers at Mt Rainier told us Timed Entry really helped w the entry lines. I think eliminating reservations is a mistake #parkchat
