This week Kristin and Sofia discuss the wonderful US national parks! First, Kristin discusses her plans for Alaska, and Sofia recounts a terrible situation she found herself in this week. Then we go over WHY everyone should visit and enjoy the national parks of the United States. Sofia and Kristin share their favorite national parks and why they think they’re so special. We also discuss the most and least visited national parks and why this matters. Then we go over the many many activities you can do in the parks, as well as etiquette tips for recreating safely and consciously in the outdoors. We also share a few non-profit organizations that work with/for the national park service. Lastly, we discuss the America the Beautiful park pass and all of its benefits.
