Happy Birthday Cuyahoga Valley National Park!! 🎂🎉

While Congress established Cuyahoga Valley as a National Recreation Area in 1974, it wasn’t until 2000 that these 33,000 acres of woodlands, waterfalls, rolling hills and open farmland were redesignated as a National Park. It’s one of the most popular Parks for fall foliage & is a perfect natural getaway between two cities!

You can watch the rest of this documentary on our website, or stream it on Roku, Amazon Fire, Vizio or Samsung.

Outing ourselves as Swifties!

As we head into a new Era, here’s what we think each Taylor Swift album would be ✨National Park Edition✨

The big question is…. what do you think The Life of A Showgirl will be?

💚 Debut - Great Smoky Mountains, a CLASSIC National Park full of gorgeous poetic vistas, a strong foundation, and country roots
💛Fearless - Zion, it’s a love story, enough said
💜Speak Now - Mount Rainier, truly Enchanting. And the people who love it, LOVE it
❤️Red - Grand Canyon… not just for the color, but the emotional (and literal) depth and undeniable popularity make this a match up we know all too well
🩵1989 - nothing says pop princess quite like Yellowstone. Main character energy, explosive!
🖤Reputation - Badlands, they say I did something Bad(lands)...
🩷Lover - Acadia, those pinky sunrises, truly a “Crown Jewel,” and so, so many bridges to cross
🩶folklore - Redwood, and not just because of the cover, the storytelling of these giants matches the album perfectly
🤎evermore - Shenandoah, for the winding Skyline Drive, wintery and nostalgic vibes with a touch of melancholy
💙Midnights - Big Bend, considered some of the darkest skies in the lower 48, we felt like the starriest album deserved a night sky to match!
🤍 Tortured Poets Department - Death Valley… haunting, heartbreaking, vast, and poetic, this desert pairs well with the ultimate survival album
🧡The Life of a Showgirl - ???

How do you think we did? What National Park will our next era be?

Take a Hike! 🥾
 
Sound harsh? It’s actually a kind invitation to enjoy the mental wellness benefits of nature ☀️
 
Hiking isn’t just a walk in the woods. It’s proven to reduce stress, improve health, and lift your mood ⛰️
 
We’re joining on their quest to literally rewrite what “take a hike” means. We believe it should mean something better: a friendly invitation to step outside, recharge, and reconnect with nature 🍃

A Lifetime of Parks, One Postcard at a Time
Chris Calvert has visited 431 NPS sites and collected over 18,000 pieces of park memorabilia—brochures, postcards, field notes, and more. Now, his incredible archive might become part of the official National Park Service collection. Read the story at theparkschannel.com (link in bio)

We are thinking of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and the Dragon Bravo fire that destroyed the North Rim Lodge and visitor center.

We don’t have the right words for a situation like this, so we just want to ask you to share some of your favorite memories and photos/videos. Add to the comments, or send/tag us on some of your memories and we will share them in stories!

Can you believe that California has 280 State Parks!
You can visit the beach to Redwood forests, you can experience surfing, boating, off-roading, hiking, camping and so much more!
Sure, they have some great National Parks as well, but don’t sleep on the incredible variety and number of State Parks that they have as well!
Happy California State Parks Week!

We are getting close to the opening of Going to the Sun road in Glacier National Park! What better way to celebrate Glacier winning Parks Madness than by planning a trip to this crown jewel!

There can only be one! You could say that the took the Going to the Sun Road all the way to the championship.
There are Many Glaciers, they had an Avalanche (Lake) of votes, they stand atop the Parks Madness Pyramid (Peak). It’s obvious that they took the Highline (trail) or the Swiftcurrent (Pass) to the championship.
Okay, we will stop making Glacier National Park puns, but hopefully it gives you just a couple of places to visit on your next trip to Montana and Glacier National Park!
Congrats to our 2025 Parks Madness Champ, Glacier!
