Wonderful narrative Thomas. We visited many, but not all the sights you’ve described with our children years ago. The memories of this trips are the happiest of their childhood! Glad you highlighted the state parks especially. I hope Trump has not reversed Obama renaming Harney Peak to Black Elk Peak in Custer State Park. Thanks so much for your engaging narratives and selective photos along your journey. Safe travels home!
Wow and wonderful. Love reading this. My heart is in the National Parks. I am taking my four grandchildren and my adult daughters and son in laws to Yellowstone in June 2026. I will be heading up to Kootenai Falls and Libby MT this fall. That you saw the wolves in the Yellowstone River and a grizzly encounter was AWESOME. So happy to know your children got to see this beautiful country we all need to honor and protect. WELL DONE
Beautiful essay. And a nice break from the often ugly reality of politics. Agree you should look into doing more travel writing. Looks like you have a gift for it.
Makes me want to drop everything and go! Thank you for letting me come along for a little armchair travel. I agree that we need to protect these treasures and make sure young people experience the beauty and diversity of this land.

Love the parks! My husband and I were lucky enough to get our senior pass when it was still $10!
I hope you'll do more travel writing. It's a pleasure to read, a welcome respite for us as your trip was for you.

With cuts in funding the facilities will be in need of maintenance
