TTB 024: Bob and Elliot's Top National Parks

Published: Jan. 28, 2019, 5:18 p.m.

On this episode, two best friends sit down and swap some of our favorite US National Parks that we’ve had the privilege of visiting and some of the ones we plan on going to in the future. Fantasize over your love for nature with The Traveler's Blueprint duo and discover some of our own experiences in these amazing places, including Elliot’s awakening experience in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons as a kid and Bob’s time dog sledding in Rocky Mountain National Park! After reminiscing about our time in these amazing parks, we discuss some of the locations we have yet to visit and the reasons that these parks are drawing our attention. In light of the government shutdown ending, we thought it was appropriate to highlight one of the most unique aspects of American livelihood, the National Parks. Putting politics aside, the importance of keeping these parks clean, preserving the indigenous flora and fauna, and keeping this land accessible for future generations should be one of the highest priorities of our government. We were saddened to learn about the atrocities that took place at some of our beloved parks during the government shutdown. When visiting our National Parks, please always remember the mottoes to “leave it like you found it” and to "take only pictures, leave only footprints". Nothing is more American than preserving the land we call America.
